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

The officers who responded during the 6-month period would settle problems of barking dog complaints, loud music, trees branches being cut because they were hanging over the fence, lights being left on too long at night, which made it hard for kids to sleep, etc. Imagine you are an officer assigned to this beat and you are on a special assignment to try out a problem-oriented approach. 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?
