It is not uncommon for Police to contact and request statements from persons to whom they suspect drugs are being dealt. So they may or may not contact you and request assistance with their investigations, namely a statement from you implicating the alleged supplier. They may even undertake not to press charges against you for possession provided that you supply such a statement, however, before doing so you should always seek legal advice.
