Although it seems to not be the best use of our police officer's time, calling the police seems toRead More be the answer. In our neighborhood, we have been told time and time again by the city council, that they don't know if there is a problem, or how frequent that problem is, unless citizens call the police. Now, whether you can get the police to do something about it, is a completely different subject as most shrug you off as if you are nothing more than an annoying gnat. It would certainly be nice if the city would consider some sort of written complaint procedure.
