Professor Meesham helped run a service where members of the public could have drugs tested and discover what they were made of.
Intelligence of what was being sold and the mis-selling of drugs could then be passed on to the police.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said: "I'm told it has been several years since we have had any reports of drugs being adulterated with other substances.
"The reports we did have proved to be unsubstantiated."
