The Communications Division serves as a link between public and police and provides Emergency 911 service. A communications officer in Austin will relay your report to the appropriate officers in your area. If you are reporting a suspected shipment of narcotics being transported, be sure to give the dispatcher as much information as possible about the vehicle, license plate, location and direction of travel. If you know of a location where illegal drugs are being stored, give the address, description of the building or residence and any other information you may have about the location of the drugs within the building. If you detect the presence of a drug lab in your area, call the above number immediately and report it.
Labs move frequently, and prompt reporting is necessary if the operators are to be caught.

The suspect, who shall remain nameless pending the outcome of the investigation, had spent most of the day in custody at the Atlanta Police Department undergoing interrogation about a sexual assault.
