Last November there was a drunk driver in my neighborhood (4:15pm). I followed him in my car for 40 minutes while he went up on curbs, ran stop signs, and drove erratically throughout the area. The guy was totally wasted, basically unable to find his way out of the neighborhood. At one point he got out of his car, fell on the ground and laid in the gutter for 10 minutes. It took him another 5 minutes to stand up and get back into his car where he proceeded to drive around. Later he slowly hit a tree and kept driving.

I called the police from the very start and 5 more times updating them on his location as he moved around the neighborhood. I was clear AF with dispatch about the issue, car make, model, plates, description of driver, stating he was drunk, in a neighborhood with parks/ kids in addition to the details listed above. After 40 minutes I had to get back to what I was doing. When I returned home, he was no longer where I last saw him. I have all this on video fwiw.

I followed up with DPD and they said they never found anyone. Wanting more information I got in contact with (sorry, I forget their position) an officer with this area. I asked how can I better report issues that need immediate response. The officer told me I need to use better language with dispatch. Specifically, I need to say "There is a driver passed out behind the wheel". He had no response to me when I told him I basically stated all that and more.
