In a statement released on Thursday, deputy premier, police and justice minister and member for Dubbo Troy Grant said there was no doubt the drug ice had infiltrated local communities with a destructive force.
"I have lived and worked in regional NSW for most of my life and I have never seen a drug as corrosive to human decency as ice," he said.
"Ice is addictive and dangerous and is affecting our regions like no drug before it. It is impacting not only on individuals and their families and friends, but our social and health services."
Mr Grant has announced the "Your Call Can Make A Difference" campaign with police commissioner Andrew Scipione.
"The aim of the 'Your Call Can Make A Difference' campaign is to remind the community of the seriousness of ice, show the drug's impacts and encourage reporting of dealing and manufacture," Mr Grant said.
"I urge you to phone 1800 333 000 if you see or hear something that isn't right.
"The fight against ice is not an easy one, and it may be your call that provides police with the break that they need to disrupt the supply of this insidious drug."
Mr Grant said the number of ice-related arrests had increased 35 per cent over the last two years, statewide, while the number of arrests for dealing had increased by 30 per cent.
"(This) illustrates the progress done by our hard-working police and men and women on this battle," he said.
The minister for police and justice drew attention to the regional and remote communities.
"I'm particularly concerned at the destruction of ice in our regional and remote communities where there has been a rise of 50 per cent of police detection of use and possession over the same period," he said.
"From the north to the south of our state, no postcode is immune from the force of this substance. This drug is hurting our country towns as much, if not more, than our suburbs and cities."
Mr Grant concluded by committing the government to the war against ice.
"The NSW Government is committed to playing its part to stamp out the ice epidemic.
"The government has committed to taking action including tripling the number of roadside drug tests, halving the threshold required to charge dealers, improving the ability to confiscate the assets of serious criminals, mandatory reporting of pseudoephedrine sales in pharmacies and investing in more treatment services and education," he said.
