Dunn said his department is fighting dual battles in the drug war – searching for those dealing drugs and assisting residents finding counseling and treatment for addiction.

“We seek the public’s assistance in actively investigating illicit narcotics dealing in our community,” Dunn said, reminding residents that tips can be made anonymously. “If you see or become aware of suspected drug activity in your neighborhood, please do not hesitate to contact the Hull Police at 781-925-1212 or the contact tab on our website at www.hullpolice.org.”

Dunn said the town is a part of Plymouth County Outreach, an organization that assists individuals and families dealing with substance abuse disorders. More information on the program can be found at https://plymouthcountyoutreach.org.

“Substance use disorder affects many families and all walks of life,” the chief said. “Dealing in illicit drugs does nothing but fuel those that are struggling with substance abuse disorders. We are here to assist those that are dealing with what can sometimes be a fatal addiction.”
