Tz,

While I empathize with youâ??re frustration concerning the police department lack of results, I think you must understand that it may take several months for the agency to conduct a lawful investigation. Knowing something illegal is going on, and being able to present evidence in a court of law are on opposites ends of the spectrum.

For the sake of conversation, letâ??s say your agency had resources immediately available to work on you situation the first day you notified them. It takes several months to conduct this type of investigation, in fact in may take several months for them to get someone into the house to make a buy so they can obtain a search warrant.

I donâ??t know about the agency you speak of, but most agencies have limited resources devoted to Vice and Narcotic investigations. I would also speculate that your agency was probably in the middle of a narcotic investigation the first day you notified them of the situation. Your agency like most, prioritize their workload based on a number of factors, including the likely hood of a successful conclusion.

I applaud you and your neighborâ??s efforts. You resolved your problem by displacing it. Now someone else in your community is calling the police department complaining about the same activity and the cycle starts again.

You donâ??t think the agency knew what you were doing and covertly supported your actions? Cops live in houses in neighborhoods with families as well and most try to prioritize quality of live issues.

Given a few more facts about the complex nature of this type of problem, I would think you could be a little less critical of your local men in blue
