San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Lemon Grove

I give this station 5 stars because Deputy R. Powers and Deputy E. Paulson rock at their jobs. They listen carefully and take everything everyone says seriously. They are able to distinguish right from wrong in a heartbeat.

We have a trespasser living in our garage and the sheriffs wont remove him or his husband.
The man is doing so many illegal things and they wont take reports from us, or give a ticket to the guy.
We’ve called at least 20 times because this trespasser has attacked our dog, raised his fist at us, stolen from us, been in a fight in the street outside our house, and MORE and the sheriffs just say ‘hes a resident’ NO HE IS NOT HE HAS NO RIGHTS TO LIVE HERE AND HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR PETS AND THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY! hes smoking weed and cigarettes in a room that has 3 gas appliances. We’ve asked the guy to leave and he wont. We tried to file a restraining order and when we give them our address they hang up on us. I don’t feel safe. Whatever happened to protect and serve? Now the guy attacking dogs, doing drugs and stealing gets to stay in a house free of charge and use our utilities and it just seems the sheriffs are awarding him … i hope to get away from the sheriffs here and maybe then, one day i will feel safe in my own home.

Our alarm went off tonight and we raced home. 40 minutes had passed and we were the first ones home. We waited for the sheriff’s office– nothing– We eventually saw nothing amiss outside and decided to go inside. When we called the sheriff’s office, they said they had cleared it 30 minutes ago– but they never called us to let us know it was safe to go into our homes! Last time our alarm accidentally went off and we called to tell them we were ok, they showed up 30 minutes later and hadn’t got the message. I’m sad that I don’t feel safe in Lemon Grove.

My mom’s car was hit & run in a parking lot causing $ 3,000 worth of damage with a $ 1,000 deductible. There was a witness, but no plate numbers. So my mom got the sheriff involved and he was great. We didn’t hear from him for a couple days then he said from the car description and the blurry CCTV footage he was able to track down the yellow SUV who admitted that he hit her car but that he was under the influence of medication and didn’t know what he was doing when he left.
I don’t know what happened in the meanwhile, but what I do know is that the insurance has returned the deductible and his insurance is accepting responsibility. Whew!
Good work tracking down the dirt bag!!!

Well I also tried to file Fraud Reports. Like in several. I also called the Sheriffs office and they came out to my home, but refused to take a report. My house had been broken into and everything, including my cloths, food, tools, computer, all my cd’s, dvd’s. personal papers, jewelry, everything, and I mean everything was taken. My windows were broken. They did nothing. the next day when I discovered someone had ordered credit cards and used my bank account, I went to the station to make a fraud report. They refused. I was told if I did not leave right away, I would be arrested. «for what? The sheriff then started taking off his handcuffs and walking towards me. «Oh…» I started to leave and turned and asked if I could have copies of the reports I had made earlier when my bank card was stolen and all my money taken out of the bank. He just about jumped over the counter… I ran. This is a very scary place to live for me. but at 65 years old. where do I go? I own my home and I feel I have no protection at all.

Not sure what to say about this place but that they have some good looking officers and the response time is pretty quick.

I had to file a Fraud Report, called the Sheriff’s Office, very courteous on the phone, arranged to meet me close to home at the store front office.
A supervisor met me, then Community Officer Paylor, took all the info from me, report was filed in a short time and she was professional and informative.
Picked up the report at the station, again the service was fast, informative and pleasant.
Sent the documents needed (including the report), problem solved and my a account was corrected.
Thank you SD County Sheriff’s Department.
