The Narcotics Unit is a unit of the Aruba Police Corps that was officially established on August 1, 2023. The unit investigates all aspects of drug trafficking from homes, streets, delivery, social platforms and even hotel areas. The unit also investigates all drugs that are intercepted by Customs, US Customs at the airport, by KIA officials and all drugs found during any police controls. The Narcotics Unit reports directly to the Commissioner of the General Service.
In order for the Aruba Police Corps to solve more cases, cooperation and information from the people of Aruba is very important, so we ask that if you have any information call our police helpline at 11141. We guarantee that you remain anonymous.
