How does Meth Watch work?
Meth Watch is a voluntary program that involves a variety of people at the community and state level, although retailer involvement is the cornerstone of this program. Participating retailers strategically post Meth Watch signs and tags on their doors and windows, around their cash registers, and on the shelves where precursor products are located. They place precursor products in staffed areas or aisles with surveillance cameras and may impose purchase limits to prevent high-volume sales. They train their employees to recognize, but not to confront, suspicious customers and to contact law enforcement with as much identifying information as possible. In addition, they display educational posters in employee areas and make Meth Watch information available to their customers. Participants in Meth Watch report safer stores, better customer relations, reduced losses due to theft, increased employee awareness, and better relations with law enforcement.
