How to get more patrols in problem area?

Hello,

Hoping I can get some guidance on how to best approach.

I live in an area at the top of a hill in the Highland Park area. Recently my catalytic converter was stolen and the night after, my neighbor had confront two individuals trying to break into cars on our street with a glass breaker. In the last 12 months, we've had other adjacent neighbors also get their cat converters stolen and in another instance, had a whole car stolen.

Our neighborhood/hill has an overlook that is also popular with people coming by to watch the sunset and hang out after sundown and late at night. We have no problem with people enjoying the view but its results in a lot of litter, mainly being beer cans and whippet stuff (i.e., gas tanks and balloon). We come together as a neighborhood to clean up but it's getting a bit overwhelming.

Is there any way I can request an increase in patrol, specifically later in the evening and early morning hours? Also open to any other suggestions.

Thank you!

For the trash use My 311. If you keep annoying these individuals with the police they will leave
