I live in a really small town so this probably won't translate to a large city; but I told our mayor and chief of police that if one of the old people on our block was hurt by the crackheads up the street, I'd make sure they knew that I had already informed the police of the problem and would testify in the liability trial that they did nothing in response. The crackheads were gone in 2 weeks. Like I said, not so easy in a city, but I do think at least the local precinct needs to know the neighborhood is serious about getting the drugs and gangs out.
