Alameda County Sheriff’s Office

I would give ZERO STARS if I could, ALL of the «GOOD RATINGS» seem fabricated, I’ll bet they’re FROM THE DPT. I am a war veteran, fought and bled for FUCKING WHAT?! These swine have harassed me for years and I’m at my end. I am currently contacting Eric Swalwell or whatever his last name is, I WILL find SOMETHING we can do to PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE MONSTERS.

Patrolman are in need of training: 1) received a death threat and was told this is protected under the 1^st amendment; 2) showed copies of stolen checks and and it took calls to the DA and detectives plus 6 months to get a single police report.
If I’m broke and dead, you know why. seriously!

Useless. Only way to describe them. They don’t listen and they don’t try. Stupid and useless. Good luck Alameda.

Normally I view the police as trying to take my money on behalf of whatever principality they serve. I was pleasantly impressed with the professionalism and helpfulness of the Alameda County Sheriff’s Dept. I had car trouble at Oakland airport and couldn’t seem to find any help. I was parked in the drop-​off zone and feared I might eventually get towed or worse, towed and fined. Eventually I found out I needed to contact the Sheriff and they arrived almost immediately. If I had been any danger to the airport I want these guys on the job as their quick response was impressive. I assumed at best they would call me a repair truck, but they took the trouble to try jump starting my car and it was just the battery so it started right up and I was on my way. Kudos to these two officers for giving me a positive encounter with the PD to share, thanks again guys.

Time: 10:15am
Purpose: Visiting a friend who I haven’t had a chance to talk with during the year.
Staff: Friendly officers and staff willing to assist you any way possible. Don’t hate when that Chevy blue/​glod truck pulls up when you’re sitting in a bus stop or red zone. They’re doing their jobs and you shouldn’t be there in the first place. AC transit is contracted with the agency so behave on the buses or you will be taken in by the sheriffs.
We’re heading to early luncheon feels good knowing I won’t encounter trouble on our way.

I’ve talked with a few deputies over the years and they have always been friendly and professional. This is in stark contrast to the San Leandro PD. It’s strange and disconcerting how two law enforcement agencies very close in proximity can have such different workplace cultures and attitudes towards the community they protect and serve. IMHO, ACSO seem to help wherever they can. SLPD only helps when they have to. Keep up the great work ACSO!!!

If I have to deal with a police officer, I would favor the men and women of the AlCo Sheriff’s department over any other. They tend to be some of the nicest, down to earth, all around great people, and top notch as far as police officials go.
I’ve dealt with AlCo Sheriffs plenty of times in my life, and have always had the best experiences. Recently, in my area, there has been a lot of mischief going on, especially in terms of car and house burglary. I have seen officers respond super promptly and catch the perpetrators on more than one occasion.
If more departments were run like the Alameda County Sheriff’s, we’d be a lot better off.
