Safer Blanchardstown in partnership with Blanchardstown Local Drug & Alcohol Task Force are running a “Think Before You Buy” campaign over the Christmas period.

The main aim of the campaign is to kick-start a conversation that will link the vast amounts of money generated by recreational drug use for criminal gangs to the criminal activity involved in supplying drugs, to the intimidation and extortion and the acquisitive crimes such as burglaries, muggings, handbag/phone snatchings etc. carried out to pay drug debts or for continued use. Such crimes have a negative affect every citizen’s quality of life either through fear of becoming a victim of through direct experience.

If you use drugs YOU are part of the problem!
