Default Neighbor with paranoid schizophrenia

We have a neighbor who has guardianship over an adult with paranoid schizophrenia. We have lived here for 5 years and have dealt with a lot of police calls to the house. Finally last week the police came with guns drawn because he was chasing around another individual (also mentally challenged) with a knife. I thought he wouldn't be back after this however I was wrong.

This is a cul de sac with a lot of kids and I am wondering if there is any avenue we can use to have this neighbor removed from the care he is under and placed in the proper care with full time supervision (the guardian works and golfs all the time and is hardly ever around)

I know it's not the fault of the neighbor they have this condition however we and other people on the street don't feel safe to have our kids playing when he's around in case he has an episode.

Any advice or suggestions on where to take this from here would be appreciated. I have already tried speaking to the guardian and his response is always that he will be alright. (He obviously needs 24/7 care and supervision)

Thanks
