The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department recognizes the negative impact unlicensed marijuana dispensaries have on our neighborhoods and businesses. Unregulated pot shops attract criminals involved with other illicit drugs and are often the catalyst for violent crime, property crime and financial crime that affect us all. Products sold at unlicensed cannabis facilities are cultivated and manufactured using processes which may be harmful to consumers and are often marketed toward children.
The Sheriff’s Department is committed to the safety of our communities through enforcement of these illegal operations. We listen to community concerns. If you have information about the illegal sale or cultivation of marijuana within the Sheriff’s jurisdiction, you can contact us by using one of these methods:
• Call your local Sheriff’s patrol station. For a list of locations, visit: https://www.sdsheriff.gov/bureaus/law-enforcement-services-bureau/patrol-stations

• Submit a tip through San Diego County Crime Stoppers: visit: www.sdcrimestoppers.org or call (888) 580-8477
• Email the Sheriff’s Webmaster: sdsheriff.webmaster@sdsheriff.gov
The Sheriff’s Department values its partnership with the community and encourages you to continue helping to keep our neighborhoods safe. Report suspicious activity to your local law enforcement agency.
