Whether it’s the address, home phone number, cell phone numbers, or description of vehicles used to transport drugs – the Sheriff Gould wants to put as much information in the hands of law enforcement as possible.Sheriff Gould also said that traditional contact methods, such as phone or email are welcomed, too.
