DEA Reveals 5 Montana Sites Once Used as Meth Labs

A day in the life of law enforcement is an unpredictable one. Many different challenges and unpredictable situations can arise at a moment's notice.

Think about how many calls law enforcement responds to only to uncover something much more serious.

The DEA Shares Locations Of Former Montana Drug Labs

Thanks to the Drug Enforcement Agency, we're able to find addresses where "law enforcement agencies reportedly found chemicals or other items, indicating the presence of either clandestine drug laboratories or dumpsites."

Now, it should be noted that the Montana Department of Environmental Quality also has its own database that contains a whopping 128 sites that were considered "methamphetamine contaminated properties."

What I found interesting is that, seemingly, a majority of those addresses are missing from the DEA's page.

Another interesting find was that one of the addresses listed by the DEA belonged to none other than a police substation. I did what I could to find out why this particular address was listed but couldn't find any concrete source explaining how a police substation wound up on a list of former clandestine labs.

Is Your Address Among Those Listed For Being A Former Drug Lab?

First off all: let's hope it's not. But, if it is and you think it's a mistake there is something you can do it about it.

If you spot an address that was mistakenly listed, you can contact the DEA at NCLR@usdoj.gov.
