I agree with Patty! Call both. Here's the reason I say that ... the Community Watch patrol is in your neighborhood, only minutes from your home. Although they are not permitted to enforce any laws, they are at least there to help quickly. Also call 911. It may take a sheriff quite some time to get to you if they are busy and your call is low priority. Community Watch will also call dispatch, to call the sheriff, and may have a little more persuasion in getting them there quicker. At least they will be an extra pair of eye in the event something needs to be documented.
