Question 17

Imagine a neighbor dispute between two residences that has been responsible for 24 calls for service in a 6- month period.

You and the rest of your squad are the test squad for a 6- month period to see if problem- oriented policing is something your department wants to implement. How would you approach this neighbor problem?
