Ongoing suspicious activity in my neighborhood

Posted in: Crime
I reported suspicious activity in my neighborhood several monnths ago but later realized it was much bigger than I imaged, these are not people selling a few drugs here and there, this appears to be an organized group of people, they don't have 9 to 5 jobs and some are very young. They all moved into the neighborhood a little over two years ago within months of earch other and it look like they invested plenty of time picking the right spots in the neighborhood that have full view of traffic in and out of our community.
My house seems to be the ideal spot for them because sits at the entrance of the neighborhood and they are trying to force me to move. They started vandalizing my car and the property over a year ago so I put up a camera, after putting up the camera I noticed strange cars coming and going all hours of the night and I reported this to Narcotics.
MPYLINFOR;
After I reported this activity, they have started following me, since Narcotics got involved they found it harder to move around so they started hiding drugs in the Time Warner Cable box in my yard, just last week I had Time Warner put a lock on the cable box and since then, we have someone hanging around our house about every night now.  My most concern is,  my daughter gets home from work around 11:30 at night and I'm scard they will try to harm her because the house I reported the activity is right across the street from my house so they are aware of her time schedule.

This sounds like a pretty serious situation. Have you sat down with ranking officers and explained what is going on? If I were at the point of corcern for my daughters immediate safety--measures would have to be taken. I have three suggestions:

1) Constant communication with the police. So what if they become inconvienced by your concerns--your worrying about your daughters safety--at home!

2) Get to know your neighbors. Based on your statement I will guarantee you are not the only household in your area effected by the other party.

3) Install light fixtures and burn the bulbs from dusk til dawn. Criminals typically are detoured by incandecence. Not only will you have the ability to better protect yourself and property through illumination; drug dealers and users alike do not like bright lights and will have them feeling uncomfortable. 

Keep a good distance from the party implied. Depending on your local and state laws it may not be a bad idea to consider training and purchasing a defense tool for yourself and even your daughter.

I wish you the best.
