San Leandro Police Department

These Guys do a Great Job of Keeping The Streets Of San Leandro Streets Clean. The Oakland Police could learn a lot from SLPD. I’ve called Oakland Police before and they never respond unless there’s a Shooting.
You call SLPD and they have an Awesome response time. They are usually there in minutes .
I used to work for the City Of San Leandro in a past life and had several interaction’s with SLPD and individual officers in an official capacity and always had great interactions with them .
They do a job I don’t envy. They deal with Dangerous and Just Plan Human Garbage that no regular person would want to deal with.
With the City Of Oakland and all of its Crime and Murder Problems Slpd does a great job of keeping that element out. With Oakland being a neighboring town.
These guys don’t get the Praise and Respect they deserve.

I came here for a fixit ticket. I was there at 9am when it opened and it took about 3 minutes. I parked by the vehicle inspection spot right in front of the building. The policewoman who came to inspect my car was very nice and helpful.

San Leandro police department is the best. I had to call because my neighbors kept accusing me of doing things I am not doing and continue to overstep boundaries. I felt unsafe and it was time to have the authorities involved. I called and they determined it was appropriate to come by and investigate, officer Fletcher was on time, fast, efficient and able to assess the situation quickly. He got it and offered suggestions of what to do next. I felt safe and heard and that I truly have not done anything wrong. So thank you so much. I feel fortunate to have a quality, fast responding police department. I have not had any problems since.

As a petite 58 yr old woman with health problems I naively thought I could turn to the San Leandro Police to help me with a scary situation with a tenant renting a room from me.
After being intimidated and frightened by this man, the police came and questioned me, intimidated me, and accused me of ridiculous things. The two young bully officers made a bad situation 100 times worse. The tenant wanted to permanently leave and I wanted to go inside my house, thinking the situation was resolved. I have No police record or anything remotely suggesting I am a «dangerous» or criminal type. I am retired on disability and make a small income selling items online. The two Young officers absolutely overreacted (I suppose they wanted an arrest under their belts?) cuffed Me and took me to jail. (they arrested the tenant as well even tho he had agreed to leave). The cuffs were extremely tight and hurting me, but I had to wait for almost an hour to be fingerprinted by a recruit in training, who did it over and over again while her supervisor laughed and joked. I was then put in a cell until the next Morning when my son got off work at the emergency room where he is a doctor, and posted $ 15,000 bail. Did you get that — $ 15,000 ??? I had an Extremely traumatic night worrying about my pets and the fact that the officer did Not let me lock my back rooms or make sure the pets were ok. (There have been 2 home invasion robberies in my neighborhood in the last 4 weeks) These officers are dangerous and this police dept is like a Nazi nightmare where they can take you out of your homes and lock you up for no good reason. Be careful not to even look at them wrong. They are Inexperienced, completely untrained in human interaction, and a terrifying force. How do you distinguish them from common thugs?
By the way, if a 58 yr old white woman gets treated like this, I cannot Even Imagine how much exponentially Worse it is for minorities. This experience was a real eye opener and I am glad my naïve beliefs in the police being our heroes has been crushed.

I had fallen asleep in my car parked around the corner from my daughters house in the Estadillo Estates neighborhood of San Leandro. Around midnight I was woken up by Officer Ordaniaro, he was patrolling the neighborhood and did not recognize my car. When he ran my name it showed that I had a very old warrent from a city in Southern California. Officer Ordaniaro was very polite and professional, he listened to what I had to say and have me the benefit of the doubt, he was very respectful. They were required to take me to the jail and wait until they heard from the city holding the warrent. Officer Ordaniaro was apologetic and promised that I would be site released. He was true to his word and did everything in his power to make sure that I was site released. By far the most pleasant interaction with a police officer ever.

Walked in for a copy of police report. Very helpful but a bit intimidating. Wait was short, didn’t have the info needed so officer gave me direct number to call. 1 star deduction from slow process of my accident case.

I would give this place ZERO stars if Unilocal would allow me too but…
As a previous victim of an altercation in which San Leandro police responded too, I would like to say that their police didn’t handle my situation in the correct SOP matter. As a member of law enforcement now I realize how aggressive they were towards me and how they had given me no chance to speak. They pointed their weapons at me before I said one word. Overall the training needs to be more tough on these officers. Though I am not a police officer in the east bay I’m sure they all follow the same state protocol.
& don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to talk down on the whole San Leandro police force as one, but if I were a more of an aggressive subject it could’ve been a situation that would’ve ended up on the news. I respect law enforcement and I know personally that it’s a tough job that can eat you up some days but don’t take the aggression out on innocent subjects, it’s not fair to treat them that way because you as a first responder should already know that the first response is the most important response. & that was a few years back.
Fast forward to present time 12/​Aug/​2015. I went into the station with my boyfriend so he can file a claim when we walked in there are 2 glass offices one for traffic, one for who knows, but no one greeted us & when we walked up to the desk my boyfriend gets some rude woman who had no concern on our needs & said the officer who handles claims is busy & can’t help us today AT ALL. My thoughts were «hello wtf you can’t even ask what type of claim he’s filing, maybe forward us to an assisting officer or even give us a contact card or a direct website to file the claim» instead we were told to come another day & a general San Leandro police station website to figure out how to navigate it by ourselves. What the hell is her damn job if she can’t even do protocol steps to assist the civilians of San Leandro. Again nothing against the police force staff as a whole but these individuals should receive advance training on the job.
That’s all I have to say other then that, keep the streets safe & always Assist, Protect & Defend Always.

Just had a strange man harassing my customers and employees in an effort to get taken for a ride. He also claimed to have no identification, so I called the SLPD nonemergency line. They showed up in less than 10 minutes and professionally addressed the situation. Thank you, SLPD.

Mr. Ed Reinhardt. Police Service technician #1095 has been serving a great service to san Leandro city. He has found my dog today and call me right away and my dog has been reunited with my children that has bring lots of joys and happiness to my family.
We just want to say thank you to him for a great service to the city.

Neighbor threatened me for parking in front of her house and said she was getting her gun. I called PD and let them know I was in my house and taking my gun out of the safe in case she came over so I could protect my wife and small child. When they showed up they took me outside and I was put in cuffs. It was 0730 I was dressed in nice work clothes as a 40yr old white male. My gun was out on the kitchen counter with a trigger lock, they picked it up and the magazine fell out. They took my magazine and left me in cuffs for 30 mins. I was able to watch them with the neighbor, they didn’t cuff her or look to see if she had gun ready. One officer went to uncuff me and the Sergeant said to wait at which point he yelled at me and said to quit eye balling him. Totally unprofessional, his excuse for it was I endangered his officers because I said I was taking my gun out and they had to drive faster in the rain. Nice to know my neighbor saying they were going to shoot me wasn’t a reason for them to rush. They said I overreacted because a lady wasn’t a real threat. Morale of the story for me was to not tell the dispatch I’m taking my gun out, which endangers cops more. Not what I expected from public servants.

My son attacked me so bad I needed an ambulance. When the police arrived, instead of talking to me, they only got my 14 year old son side of the story. They also talked to my mother who is a raging alcoholic. So after 18 beers in a couple of hours, she was wasted. Not once did they get my side of the story only listening to my mother. No paperwork for me and they didn’t give me a card or even their names. I had to run after the woman cop to ask her name and very rudely she responded her name was Woods. The other officer was Robertson. After all this, I get a call and was told he was admitted to a hospital without my consent. I am going to file a complaint against these two officers.

Hi my name is Ernesto Morales. An hour ago I was pulled over by an officer right were the division for Oakland san Leandro begins I was driving to home depot for materials and next to there was two youngsters doing gang signs and traing to star something with me I pretend not see nothing and that’s when I saw that the passenger had a gun and was yelling at me so I decided to take a red light instead of waiting to see what was gonna happen. I pulled over by seven eleven and the officer pulled right behind me didn’t even let me explain nothing until after writing me the ticket. He didn’t even bother to called another officer to check on the youngsters he simply said I didn’t see nothing wrong and told me I could tell the judge. I found this very unprofessional and ridiculous an am not saying all officer are the same there are some good ones out there am yest like what ffff really.

I grew up in the tough streets of Chicago and the officers were 500% better than these small town rude, ill-​mannered cops in San Leandro. Maybe if they get put in Chicago, New York or Detroit, they’d learn CHARACTER. «RACISM» is the motto of the department and the crime rate has climbed in this once nice neighborhood, You always see the officers riding a bike getting good exercise or sitting in their cars pulled on the side of the street, or calling and harassing residents who pay enormous taxes to live in this city.

Filed a police report against some crazed business that decided to continuously harass me for writing a bad Unilocal review on them. The officer that was helping me was super helpful, so I’m glad I didn’t have a bad experience like so many other Unilocalers posted for San Leandro Police. Came in on a weekday and there was a few people ahead of me, but it didn’t take long for an officer to come and greet me and get assigned to my report. He was completely understanding of my situation and made copies of all the harassing emails/​accounts/​online postings/​business information filing/​etc. I came in feeling a little pissed off and annoyed, but left happy and relaxed thanks to the officer’s attention and concern for my matter.
Note: The building is facing a main street and is a short walk from the main street. There is street metered parking but it fills up fast. There is a parking lot right next to the City Hall building that you can park at that is a quick short walk to the entrance of the police station.

What a shame!
The police parked next the the meters waiting for it to turn red to issue tickets.
I did not know you are so desperate to finish your quota for traffics tickets.
Shame. Shame shame.

These LEO’s are the worst. SL has the high crime rate inthe Bay and I wonder why??? I guess what do you expect when you have LEO’s who act like tough guys just to get over on you.

Don’t be black and have locks out here these saltine will make you look and fill like your the Ultimate scum of the year fuck me

I went to the police to make a domestic violence report on a thursday. I can say that the officer that helped me at that time was on top of it. Before I left the department, the officer told me that for the domestic abuser to be charged and or arrested I need to work with the PD, in other words if I help them they will help me. After I left, the policeman called me a few minutes later letting me know he went to the house of the abuser for arrest but no one was there. Which I greatly appreciated.
A few days later the domestic abuser tried contacted me. So I contacted SL PD to inform and a dispatcher told me to come to the PD to show them the contact that was trying to be made. Which I did. After an hour of waiting, an officer showed up and I explained to him my situation. I then explained that there was a restraining order in my hand against the abuser. I knew the abuser was home from the messages that I had received and proceeded to tell the police officer that I wanted the arrest to happen now! I signed a parent consenting to this a few days ago?! When all was said and done the officer said he would go to the house in about an hour and give me a call…
Because the abuser new where I lived I refused to go home until i received that Phone call that the arrest had happened. …But the call never came! As a result of the negligence to do there job I slept in my car out of fear relying on them to protect and serve as they are suppose to. So as the officer from my very first meeting told me to help them and I followed every instruction that I was given to proceed with my case that in return they would help me? But it seems as though that is not the case!

I have had two experiences with the San Leandro Police and I just don’t get it. Couple years back, I was rear ended by a guy with only a medical cannabis card for an ID and completely stoned. I called SL Police for assistance and they told me to report it to my insurance. They could care less that an unlicensed driver clearly under the influence was out and about driving and hitting objects such as other vehicles!
Next, I was pulled over in the Safeway parking lot downtown and was told that I blew through the four way stop at 55 mph. Not only did I stop, but I waited for a pedestrian to cross the intersection and other cars went before me because they could see I had to wait for the pedestrian. I really do not appreciate being criminalized so the city can generate revenue. They really should be investigated.
I have lived in San Leandro for 27 years and I am considering renting my home and moving. I just have a complete lack of faith in the SL Police and their commitment to «protect and serve». With crime on the rise and the police being reactive as opposed to proactive, it’s just not worth it anymore.

Courteous, prompt and effective are the three words I use to describe the SL PD.
