INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police department says recent changes have taken nearly 200 guns off of the city's streets and led to more than 900 arrests.
The trail of illegal guns and drugs leads to neighborhoods throughout the city.
It's one of the reasons the Centralized Narcotics unit was split-up and divided among the police department districts.
Since May, Commanders like Chris Bailey can now respond much faster to complaint calls involving drug houses and dealers within his area. "Now it works a little better," said Bailey, "We've removed some bureaucracy which allows us to get to the complaint quicker."
One of the city's hot spots: 31st and Olney Street.
But Commander Bailey says even with the changes, officers are still behind on complaints.
"My detectives have 200 active complaints on the North District alone," Commander Bailey said.
It's no longer about drug dealers standing on street corners. Police say social media has expanded the area where people will engage in buying and selling their substance of choice.
The easiest way to report a drug house is through Crimestopperes by calling (317) 262-8477.
