Meth Use Reportedly on the Rise in Jamestown

March 1, 2019 By WRFA Leave a Comment

JAMESTOWN – Jamestown Police Chief Harry Snellings is reporting a “significant” increase of methamphetamine in the city of Jamestown.

According to an article in Friday’s Jamestown Post-Journal, Snellings appeared Thursday before the the Strategic Planning and Partnership Commission’s Health Care Action Team to give an update on illegal drugs in the city.

The police chief said there’s also been an increase in cocaine, but police are not seeing heroin as much as they were in just 4 to 5 years ago.
In addition to the update on drug activity, Snellings also said the city police are working with the Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County and county officials to map where overdoses take place in the city.

In addition, the police are also sending information about how to receive help for addiction, including information about peer groups in the area.
