Every evening we have laser events involving [an Air Carrier`s] inbound flights on the RNAV arrival. We must have filed hundreds of these over the past few years. I am not kidding. HUNDREDS! It is extremely unfortunate that nothing seems to be being done about it. It is obvious to us that a local resident does not like the [Air Carrier`s] arrivals flying over their land between [late evening] and midnight local time. They have taken it upon themselves to light up cockpits with a high-powered laser most nights of the week. We get estimates from flight crews on the location of the laser; but understandably; they choose not to look out the window after it happens so we can never actually pin point the location. We do our job by filling out the required time consuming paperwork; calling in the event to the local sheriff department and forward the form to the DEN (Domestic Events Network); but that seems to be the end of it. I believe there must be another government entity that has some advanced capability to pinpoint a laser transmission. It would be awesome if we could get the word out to them that we need them to spend a week in the area between [late evening] and midnight usually on clear weather evenings to help up pinpoint this goofball who is responsible for this unlawful and unsafe act before it actually blinds a flight crew. I also am curious what (if any) resources [the Air carrier] has available to throw at the problem? It involves their flights every night.
ATC Center Supervisor reported arrivals routinely experience laser events but no action has been taken to resolve the problem.
