Police Department Arvada

The Arvada Police Department was WONDERFUL this morning after I got an Emergency/​SOS text from my daughter in Arvada. I’m out in California. She sent an emergency notice to my other daughter, also out here in California, and to two friends in Colorado. We weren’t able to reach my CO daughter, but I called Arvada Police and an officer was sent out immediately to the site where the phone was, from which we’d gotten the emergency call with the coordinates of where she was. The officer called me as soon as he’d spoken to my daughter, then called again to make sure I’d contacted her and that she was alright. I can’t thank the officer because I don’t remember his name (I was too upset to think that clearly… I’m sorry, Officer. You were so kind and your help is truly appreciated), but he was kind and efficient and quite prompt. My daughter’s sister, father and I, all out here in California, appreciate all this officer and the dispatcher did to set our minds at ease. Thank you SO MUCH!!! You are the best!

In summary; corrupt, manipulative, unethical, unjust and disrespectful of the law. Do not trust them in any way, shape or form. The Miranda Rights were written to protect you from these animals. Any other questions?

My daughter was the cause of a vehicle accident in Arvada two days before Thanksgiving. She was blocks from our home, so I arrived shortly after the accident. Officer Carroll from the Arvada police department arrived to the scene. He was very nice to my shaken up teenager, calming her down, telling her he sees an average of 12 accidents a day and they are not all teenagers. He explained that she needs to prevent distractions, which would ultimately prevent accidents. He also told her to not let this ruin her day (I would say that was too late, but certainly not her week!), everyone was okay and that was the most important part. Officer Carroll was kind and gentle to a completely freaked out teenager. He walked her through the process of the ticket and even explained how the car did exactly what is was made to do; take the impact upon wreck to keep the passengers safe. I commend Officer Carroll and hope all the Officers can take a note from his book, as this can deflate a lot of anxiety and make an already horrible situation a much easier one to cope with. Thank you Officer Carroll!

I will be avoiding driving or shopping in Arvada like the plague… got pulled over at 8:45 this morning for «speeding» they must have special technology in Arvada to separate my vehicle from the rush hour pack I was in… I asked to see the device he supposedly clocked me with — in IL where I lived before they were required to show you the radar or laser gun — I guess in Arvada you are supposed to take their word for it! I don’t think so — but the motto in Arvada for the police must be to collect & earn — not protect & serve… so I will just stay out of this town! BTW called the police dept. to complain about the lack of professionalism — was told they don’t take complaints — I need to call Internal Affairs & hung up on me!

What a complete joke! These police don’t take anything seriously– I seriously feel like I’m living in a twilight zone. They laugh off the most serious of offenses and make asshole remarks to your face. I have never witnessed such a level of immature unprofessionalism in my entire life. You would think at the very least, they would take their duty seriously, but I’m starting to think all they do is smoke pot and laugh everything off. What a disgrace.

The other day I was at Memorial Park in Arvada Co. I had just capped off an wonderful late afternoon of running around with my boys, playing along the creek, the playground, etc. Quite a lovely time I must say. When it came time to go, we were headed out of the parking lot entrance which is a four-​way intersection, cross traffic has a stop sign. Nothing special, just that big red octagon shaped stop sign that we’ve seen for hundreds of years. As I was nearing the intersection, one cop suv had proceeded through the intersection, as it was his turn. Then here I come but right behind the other cop, his little buddy, trying to keep up, bolts through the intersection without even a brake, nearly hitting me. He turned, smiled and waived, acknowledging what a d-​bag thing he’d done. I would have given him zero stars had he responded like 99% of other cops in this world that constantly put themselves above the law, but I feel like his smile and waive were sincere and regretful so I dropped a deuce on him, two stars that is ;)

These officers are pretty worthless can’t walk on sidewalk due to 4″ weeds with my young children so I’m forced to walk in the street had my house robbed no help my car got robbed no help got jumped my old drunk landlord and his friend no help my wife’s ex threatening to shoot my house n kill her breathing protection order my daughter got molested by her step dad no charges filed !!! Yet custody awarded to me honestly I have lost faith in the criminal system around here I can’t name one thing they actually have helped me with

So once again blinding police lights reign upon our street (64^th and Deframe). I wonder as I watch the commotion down the way if my neighbor is once again trashed and will I be faced with all my vehicles totaled as I sleep. I wonder, since he missed driving thru our home and killing my family last time, if these lights are for him? It wasn’t enough he destroyed everything I had including the vehicle I just bought, he was inconvenienced by the loss of his own oversized truck. How tragic really
