Phoenix Police Department

1^st house was broken into while I was out of town alarm went off police and neighbor were called neighbor waited for them they never showed, when they finally came 3 days later after me calling every day they didn’t want my security camera footage told me to look in pawn shops for my items what a joke just don’t say anything if that’s your response imbecile. still haven’t heard from detectives
2^nd I was attacked in the alley behind my house called 911, they never showed filed a report at hospital while I was under morphine. I don’t even know what I told them. after reading the report I had told them what house they ran into, they didn’t look Into it, later after a rash of mailbox robberies I find out they lived where I told them and they did nothing. the post office police caught them, yeah postal police…
3^rd 6 cars were broken into at my condo complex they told me to report it online.
Criminals run rapid in this city and they could care less. I see 5 patrol cars pulling over one car. the services in this city are a joke, I’m done with the incompetence of the city policemen they should all be fired totally useless. Do your Jobs so geniuses like Nate can have a job or Just have your pictures taken with kids to show an illusion of safety, I hope you never have to deal with PPD when you’re the victim. I Just hired a private security company to patrol my complex. maybe they can take are of the meth heads in this city

Professional, patient, and ready to help. Sounds like they got a bunch of bad reviews from dolts/​criminals/​crazies who think they know the law, and really, really don’t. cops aren’t there to act like your babysitters or servants, or listen to your Jerry Springer drama. Take it from a criminal lawyer, the phoenix pd cops know the law. They don’t care enough about your crazy a$$ to risk their jobs lying about you or lying to you. Too bad people think they are smart because they watched «cops» on tv and get arrested regularly.

Since moving here four years ago, the police have allowed stalking, harassment, stealing from my property, trespassing and a noisy neighbor to throw insanely loud parties outside our bedroom window while my husband was going thru chemo. They refuse video evidence and literally stormed our home at 3am because some idiot they were following parked a stolen car in front of our house. They have lied to me (apparently trespassing is ok even if you have signs because you lack a fence in your front yard and its ok to break into someone’s house if they believe you have property of theirs inside, both told to me by phx pd), and I’m pretty sure they have lied about me! I have been shot in my legs multiple times while unarmed (I now have painful scars) and was forcefully removed from my house and handcuffed while they were serving me with a restraining order from someone related to another I had an order on and both were waiting down the street to gain possession of my house. The police were actually trying to help these people steal my house!
This is only a smidgen of what I/​we have dealt with since moving here. The Phoenix police are domestic terrorists with no accountability. I’ve tried getting assistance, no one cares!
Do not trust this police department. They are rogue and corrupt and take the sides of criminals, probably because their criminals themselves!!!

You guys SUCK! Always picking and choosing what you’re gonna charge people with. Two of you losers towed my truck when any other cop would have let me have it picked up. Now I can’t get to work or pick up my children for visits. It’s about humanity you jerks. And the rude Latino officer who calls about the the impound hearing deserves to go straight to hell. I curse all of you with the 7 bad years of luck you have caused me with your «officer’s discretion». 14 other officers in the past did not tow me for obvious humanitarian reasons. You two have NO SOULS! You will not succeed or prosper any further as a result of this bad luck curse. Be damned.

I wanted to say thank you to the City of Phoenix Police officers that were working downtown last night for the Marine Week exhibition at 1^st & Jefferson. The officers were amazing… They took the time to allow my two year old son to sit on a police motorcycle, show him the lights, and interior on one of the police Tahoes, and take pictures with my son. In spite of the incredible military equipment on display… All my son talked about all night. (While wearing his sticker badge) Was the hospitality of the Phoenix police officers. Thank you for making his night! GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I reported death threats my ex gf was receiving from her ex bf and Phoenix PD did nothing about it. Now they’re back together and I just got a picture after he punched her in the face. I’m currently stuck at Fort Bragg, NC, but I swear to god if they fail to act again I’m going AWOL to handle this myself.

i am a 58 y/​o female totally disabled with a service dog. i was tackled by a phoenix so called peace officer on August 15, 2014 as I stood up from my wheelchair. This is after he took away my service dog and told me I would never see him again.
he interrograted me for hours, would not let me take my life saving medicine. he refused to hancuff me, read me my rights or speak with an attorney.
He accused me of being intoxicated and disoriented. I don’t drink.
this akll transpired as a result of an intoxicated Discount Taxi driver did not follow the appropiate procedure to bill my Amex card. she through my belongings out of the car, I was afraid she was going to throw my service dog or me out and run us over. I called the police and no one helped me. Amex told the driver and the police from my cell phone, they never received a request for payment. I was advised to have it resubmitted and requested the driver and the police officer to do so. After I had defacated in my clothes as the security guard at the Arizona Biltmore would not ask the officer if I could get a diaper, I had had enough. Internal Affairs or anyone has done a thing. he is still on the street. I almost lost my license to practice medicine. I not a thief. this prevented me from getting housing. No one to sue the police, so im doing it on my own.

My experiences with this department are from actually volunteering at the police department and I have a close relative who has worked there for 9 years. They have a sergeant and detective in HR who seek very young applicants or those without too extensive of a history (jobs, moves, schools, etc…). If you have a child with an officer or were previously married to one, you will be thoroughly dragged over the coals by one female detective there. It’s probably a personal problem for her. This type of hiring decreases their workload. This type of selection sometimes results in great employees and sometimes, not so much. Do you want a 21 year old with no work or life experience helping you or someone with a little more practical life experience? This profession should focus on hiring people who posses empathy, just my opinion. I found that at the precinct where I volunteered, you had great officers/​employees and bad, really bad ones. The police department is short staffed and has a questionable hiring department, so the level of service the public will receive is hit or miss. Make sure to commend the officers/​employees that give you great service and report the ones that do not.

I just had a great experience with the Phoenix police. Officer Glidwell (badge 8684) and Officer Zintak (badge 8934) were tremendous today. My fiancé’s car got hit last night in a hit and run in front of my house. This morning my neighbor spotted the car in someone’s garage only a few streets away.
These two officers arrived in a matter of minutes from the moment we called to report it. They set very clear expectations for us. They were polite, friendly, and efficient. They were able to obtain a confession from the suspect. I’m very very appreciative of them today.

Called the Phoenix Police regarding a home burglary at 4:00pm today. It’s now 8:10pm and still no officer. I called the non emergency number to follow up and the call is STILL «in queue». Seriously?!

Apparently in the city of Phoenix, Child Abuse is fully acceptable as long as there are no marks on the child.
Despite it being a yet to be 2 year old being punched by a grown, 40 year old man.

Best Officers Ever!

The patrol officers /​beat officers are great. I miss Chief Jack Harris. He stood up for the officers and encouraged neighborhood cleanups. Our most recently terminated chief (Garcia) was horrible and brought down morale among the officers. It was 115 degrees in the summer and the j.a. Garcia wanted the guys in polyesters. Ever hear of flammable and sweety? Most of the officers want to do good quality work. You have lib judges slapping hoodrats on the hand with «naughty boy 7 years for shooting an officer and robbery». Stuff like that makes things discouraging when trying to do your job. Anyways, I gladly welcome our new Chief Yohner, promoted from within and things will hopefully go back to normal with a more caring /​compassionate attitude towards the officers and more pro-​active policing.

so here we are… i have never had any problem with PHX PD except for the fact that they break traffic rules everyday… but i wake this morning at 5am to go to work and find on my car 2 tickets from PHX PD written both at 3:01 AM however each was written by two different officers, Jack #8773 and Tomco #8723 (i hope they show up to court) one ticket was for parking the wrong way on the street that is fine i will pay that, the other ticket is for parking in a restricted area in front of my house (parking on the street is prohibited from 7 am to 4 pm for the school on the street) so how is it that me parking there at 3AM is prohibited i dont know if these cops want to continue their love affair on duty please quit your job you werent so quick to respond to the man shot dead on that street last year but are writing tickets at 3 am for bullshit.
i truly hope karma catches these officers.
WORST POLICE FORCE IN AMERICA and maybe the world

Yesterday I had the privilege of spending the morning «Behind the Badge» touring and experiencing the department, F.A.T.S. (where I squeaked by one decision-​making scenario and failed big on the second), 911 Communications (thanks particularly to Barry) and the Crime Lab (with patient Randy, who answered my many questions). Public Relations Officer Jennifer Eastman was so generous with her time, knowledge, and arrangements. In the afternoon I «partnered» with an officer she herself recruited, from Mountain View Precinct, Officer Peter Bennett. He too was more than generous explaining aspects of his responsibilities as were the citizens of his precinct who occupied us in assorted ways. I am personally grateful for those named and a score unnamed who allowed a «mature» woman to experience all she did.

I respect the men and women of law enforcement so despite my following review let that be known.
Phoenix Police is always hit and miss as far as customer service. You have some officers that don’t want to do anything (Lazy). They will literally respond to your call just to say there is nothing they can do especially when it comes to mental health citizens.
They literally would rather be REACTIVE rather than PROACTIVE.
Look if you receive a call about an individual who is disturbed and someone calls in wishing that that individual be checked on. DO IT !
You can get back to your local QT and hang out for a real call later.
Phoenix Police officers are some of the most unprofessional looking I have seen in law enforcement. Officers with tatoos all up and down their arms ?
Reputable security officer companies don’t even let their officers show up to the work place like that.
Oh well, God Bless the men and women of law enforcement and thank you as always to Phoenix PD for at least responding when I need them.

After my review of Salsita’s 6, I’ve come to have faith in the cumulative point rating system.
SImply enumerate the various categories and let the chips fall so to speak.
Phoenix Police Department.
Five stars for my arresting officer and how interested he was in my life — asking a ton of questions — seeing the real me as a person instead of just another perpetrator.
He seemed genuinely concerned about me, and under any other circumstances, I could totally see me and him as besties.
You just don’t see that kind of caring any more.
Another five for his using nylon ties in lieu of those pesky steel handcuffs.
And yet another three for his super clean backseat. I thought it would smell like puke or crack dealer or something.
Where are we, thirteen so far?
Minus five for the butch officer who fingerprinted me and failed to acquiesce to my request for a hairbrush and some product prior to the mugshot. I looked like Nick Nolte and Gary Busey’s illegitimate child.
Another minus five for the Madison Street Jail facility and its ‘open’ toilets in the holding tank. If you have shy bladder syndrome, this is not the place for you after a night of prodigious drinking.
And I’m going with a negative two for what I think may have been an egg Mcmuffin they served up for breakfast, although I’m not really sure what it was.
Overall, I’d say this wasn’t as bad an experience as all my friends let on.
And, it does give me the chance to get to see if Philips and Associates are as good they say.
Where’s that leave us.
Yeah, no, pretty sure that’s one star.
Hmm.
Probably won’t repeat.

When will Phoenicians see the correlation between falling house prices and their shithead excuse of a police department? Soon, I hope.
Short list of things that are not getting fixed. In a few years, the whole city is going to look a lot more like Maryvale, and white flight will just make things worse.
1). Bad drivers, speeding and busted lights on cars not getting tickets
2). Noise — this is the single biggest reason listed in the Census that cause people to move; and the loud pipes and mufflers on every dumb Hells Angel-​wannabe Harley, monster truck and shitbox Civic are also not getting ticketed.
3). Clearance rate on murders is around 50%. That is not acceptable in any US city.
Add in the recent kidnapping inflation statistics, the «retirement» of Jack Harris and all of the dirty cops, and congrats, you’re fucked!
Lots of info here —
Ex-​Phoenix detective charged with narcotics theft from evidence room:
Here’s an ex-​Phoenix cop charged with FIVE bank robberies (why stop at 4?):
And here’s your typical sexual assault winner:

Look, for anyone complaining about the men and women of Phoenix PD, I hope you never find yourself having to deal with Scottsdale PD. I am an extremely fair person, but Scottsdale PD is ridiculous. They will harass you, berate you and treat you like a second class citizen for no reason whatsoever… who knows, maybe they get off on it. And I’m not some criminal a hole either complaining just to hear myself complain. Phoenix PD is different, and I cannot say I have ever been mistreated by any Phoenix police officer I’ve ever come into contact with while at work or when I was just recently pulled over. The officer treated me like a human being.
So, 4 stars for Phoenix PD. –46 stars for Scottsdale whose officers treat everyone like rabid dogs.

Phoenix PD is the shit.
I’ve had the rare opportunity to watch someone get tackled, fight a cop, and then get the shit tazed out of him. I’ll never forget watching a 6 foot something 300+ pound black guy dropping to the ground like a sack of bricks. and then shaking and convulsing.
Rule #1 don’t rob circle K and then try to get away from cops with helicopters and dogs. They will get you.
