David, unless you have observed a crime in progress, an injury, or something directly threatening someone's immediate safety, this would be a "non-emergency" call. (I know that someone shooting guns near your home would seem like an immediate threat, but the police probably won't see it that way.) Since this seems to be an on-going issue, you should state that to the dispatcher and give any specific identifying information regarding the person(s) and/or location. Always give your name and phone number along with a request for a follow-up call from the investigating officer. Non-emergency calls with the complainant's identifying info and request for follow-up tend to get more serious attention than anonymous calls.
