The phone number 1800 333 000 is being promoted as a way for anyone to pass on anonymous information police could use in the war on ice.
The campaign will run until July 4.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Illawarra and South Coast and Member for Kiama, Gareth Ward, encouraged the Shoalhaven to help police stamp out the supply and use of ice.
Mr Ward has applauded the Your Call Can Make a Difference campaign prompting the public to report suspicious behaviour to Crime Stoppers.
“Ice has a horrific impact right across our community,” he said.
“I have heard stories from far too many families and individuals across our region whose lives have torn apart by this terrible drug.
“I believe that this new campaign will make a difference,” he said.
“This new campaign will include advertisements in newspapers, magazines and throughout social media, and I encourage the community to share with their networks and spread the message – a phone call can make a big difference.
“I urge anyone who knows or sees anything suspicious to anonymously phone 1800 333 000 and join the fight against this toxic drug in our community.”
