Text-a-Tip

The North Dakota Highway Patrol and Department of Human Services is working in collaboration to provide an anonymous, statewide “Text-a-Tip.”  A tip-line can be used to keep illegal substances out of our communities and allow law enforcement to locate distributors of illegal drugs.  Citizen participation has always been a big part of crime prevention, and the anonymous tip-line can serve as a force multiplier by empowering citizens to get involved to keep citizens safe.

Addressing the Opioid Crisis Through Prevention

See how North Dakota communities are addressing the opioid crisis through prevention, including Lock, Monitor & Take Back, naloxone and other efforts. Watch video

Narcan Distribution Announcement

Responding to the increase of overdose deaths in the state, attendees received training in naloxone administration, and two single-dose kits of naloxone were available for free to interested participants at the events across the state. Naloxone is a prescription medication that temporarily reverses an opioid overdose. Any individual (family, friends, or community member) is protected from civil or criminal liability for giving naloxone for a suspected opioid overdose (North Dakota Century Code 23-01-42).
