The PSNI has launched a scheme in Mid Ulster aimed at detecting drug dealers in local communities.
The 'Op Silent Guardian' initiative will inform the public about how to provide specific details of suspected drug dealing, such as descriptions, properties, individuals and vehicles.
Police officers will also use sniffer dogs on the streets to detect drugs or those carrying them.
Incidents can be reported by calling 101 or crimestoppers charity, or by private messaging PSNI facebook pages.
