A hiding place for illegal substances 2021-03-12 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Officer Evan Burton shared a hiding place used to conceal and transport illegal substances these days. He says this is just one of the many items the Columbia Police Department will use as demonstrations when the educational trailer comes in. This will allow officers to help students and the public know what to be more aware of. The local tip line number to report suspicious activity is 270-378-CALY (2259).

The CPD reports the line is used regularly in helping fight illegal drug activity. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
