Los Angeles Police Department

Ok so I had my stuff stolen some Weeks ago today i got a call from the detectives frOm Van Nuys Police Station with some of my thinga back ! Thank you so much for finding my stolen items! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, truly! My school kit was paid for from the Veterans Affairs GI BILL for my school. I knew it would take some time to recover anything if anything at all. I know how hard it is to catch anyone stealing. Thank you so much for catching or at least getting a fraction of my things back! I don’t know how else to thank you! You are the most caring police department I have dealt with since my rerun back to the country since my return back to ht USA. Thank you thank you thank you! I hope the best for you all and that you are appreciated as much as I appreciate your service. I know this job is not an easy job and I thank you for your service.

Company. The Van Nuys police head quarters is one of the cleanest stations out there. The area is called the Plaza or Mall. Besides having a ton of homeless people around it’s a safe place. I seen a couple of officers hand out food for some of homeless people I just happen to ask the officer why he gave them about (10 to 14) people food. He simply replied they are human and in need. I told the officers they did a cool thing.

One of my neighbors has no respect for others. They make parties with extremely loud music at least every other week.
Today is the worst. It is so loud, The house walls are shaking and you cant hear each other inside your own house, with closed doors and windows. I tried to reason with neighbors, but they are constantly drunk or high and very hostile.
I have been calling LAPD, Van Nuys office for the past 6 hours. I have been transferred to «supervisors», «chiefs» and other officers, yet they sent no police. They keep saying they will. Last conversation was around 1am at night and the «chief» said they are too busy, because they are responding to a police shooting. So I went ahead and started scanning the open waves of police radio, checking the news… NOTHING. No police shooting at all. They pretty much blatantly lie to people.
Whatever respect I had for this department is gone. They are now worse than Time Warners customer service.

This review is for the community section of the LAPD van nuys dept.
I called to set up a time for an officer to come speak with my preschool kids about safety. An officer called me a day after and set up a time. It really makes me happy to see that the lapd is concerned and willing to take time out of their busy schedules to come visit my students. The kids are very excited about the visit and I am as well. Thank you again

I stayed there last week and the service was great. They put me in the drunk tank at first but when I yelled at the other inmates that I was in charge now they pulled me back out and gave me my own comfortable cell. The floor and bunk is made out of some rubbery material so that visitors don’t hurt themselves. They offered me food several times, even when it wasn’t mealtime but I only had a sandwich and a juice. That mystery meat is always a hit. When I asked in the morning at what time I was expected to check out, Officer Hernandez told me the paper said 2:45 but realistically like 3 or 3:30pm. I told him that I was gonna get too bored by then so please let me go back to the drunk tank so that I can find someone to chat with in the meantime and and so he did. Officer Hernandez is a cop with a good heart and actually honest unlike the assholes who took me there (namely Lopez and Davis). Exactly at 3:00pm, I was out and on my way home to face the consequences. Don’t drink and drive folks.

I had to file a report and police officer at the desk was very rude, unprofessional, kept cutting me off without listening to my actual report as if she was talking to a suspect. Very disappointing and sad

So I am driving home to Burbank through Van Nuys area because I used to live close to there and I I really liked the area. That is until I got pulled over by a police officer who told me that he caught me talking on my cell phone up to my ear. I knew that it was against the law, but it was like for 4 – 5 seconds and no harm was done and everybody was still alive. Still he pulled me over and wrote me out a ticket for driving while talking on my cell phone.
Are you serious officer? Don’t you have far more important things to do and worse criminals to keep an eye out for? Plus come on, it’s the Christmas holidays so even if you did have the right to pull me over, you couldn’t just let me off with a warning instead of giving me a ticket? I guess I met my Ebenezer Scrooge/​Grinch for this Christmas. Oh, and he had on his sunglasses the entire time so he could see my eyes but I could not see his so screw you once again officer. You can take the ticket you wrote out for me, wrap it up in a small box or something like that, and shove it up your butthole and keep it there till next Christmas when you can pull it out and give it to somebody else for going with the flow of traffic or talking on their cell phone or doing some other minor crime just so that you can fulfill your quota of giving out tickets and earning that BIG extra pay just so that you can go out and buy more donuts and coffee so you can get more fat than you already are.
Just a warning to all who live out here in LA, if the very people we look up to are going to hassle us for minor offenses such as mentioned above, then everybody in LA should either walk, take public transportation, or stay home. Just something to think about.

I was at the Van Nuys Police Station because of a late registration and a fix it ticket. I fixed the registration and then brought the ticket to the court house to pay the twenty-​five dollar fee. I was feeling ill. Nothing catching but very sick. S/​O Sardaryan noticed my distress and ask if I was OK. When I said not really, he let me rest my arm on his and walked me all the way back to my car. The only way I would have reached my car was with the help of S/​O Sardaryan. What a wonderful Officer.

No entiendo esto oficina de policía tiene un número de teléfono y no lo contestan eh llamado mas 10 vese y no tengo ninguna repuesta supuestamente menta están para servilo de ayuda pero no contesta cuando uno lo llama :/

officer Jester clearly has some problem with the gay and transgender community. I would think with all the bad publicity the LAPD has gotten lately they would crack down on men like him but, I guess they continue to let officers act however they please. I am disgusted with his behavior has both human being and as an «upholder of the law». LAPD really should have some training on how to treat people.

I trekked out here with a friend to give her moral support as she reported a stolen phone, and I left with a terrible perception of police officers at this station.
My friend has misplaced her phone, and then found out via the find my iphone app, that the phone had been taken to computer repair store to be unlocked (and therefore stolen).
The station faces the middle of a courtyard and not directly next to any parking, so it can be a little tricky to find, especially at night.
My friend reported a stolen phone, and the officer flippantly replied, «How do you know it was stolen? Did someone hold a gun to your head and take it from you?»
It gets worse.
A Hispanic woman came in shortly after us to report a missing person — her 14 year old daughter. She was ignored for a while because «no se habla espanol,» but then one officer approached her and condescendingly said, «Your daughter’s missing? Why? She doesn’t listen to you? Does she listen to dad? If it was my daughter, I would’ve kicked her out.»
I cannot imagine being a worried mother, coming to the police for help, and having to put up with this. It is no wonder that disenfranchised, minority groups do not feel like law enforcement is on their side.
I understand that a stolen phone, and maybe even a runaway teen, aren’t as important as a double homicide, or drug busts, but police officers should be held to higher standards as they serve vulnerable people and populations.
Luckily, we worked with much more helpful, kind, and courteous officers for the rest of the case, mainly from the Olympic branch of the LAPD.

Twice I’ve tried to call to report a neighborhood crime (separate days… weeks apart), and both times the receptionist transferred me to the «communications department» whom never answered the phone. Once I waited for 18 minutes while the phone just rang, and the other time I had to move on with my life after 13 minutes. The 1 star is for the lack of response, and disrespect of my time.

This review is for officer Martinez. What an exceptional person and true definition of what cops were supposed to embody which is integrity, respect, and courage. Me Martinez literally changed my entire view of the police from negative to positive. If you ever read this officer Martinez thanks again for being you and giving me faith in humanity. Your kindness meant more than you will ever know.

answer your fucking front desk phone!!!

I had to deal with police many times in many arias. My personal experience that Van Nuys police department is The Best. I had over 10 cases with them: from reporting domestic violence to recovering stollen cars. And let me tell you. The are the best. All of them. From front desk officers to detectives. Thanks to all of you. They doing there job and doing it perfect.

Woke up in a cell here not too long ago after a night out on the town with my buddy Jack. The arresting officers were very nice. I knew I was up the creek so I wasn’t trying to get out of it. I told some jokes. They laughed.
They gave me a ride to the station in their car, which is a lot more roomy and comfortable (minus the handcuffs) than the F***ing Prius cabs around here. They were also nice enough to give me a private cell where I could sleep it off and avoiding any unwanted midnight corn holing. When I woke up I was put in a group cell where I spent about 22 hours. The food was pretty good, though I probably wouldn’t go back for it. And they had the TV on so I could get caught up on some of my daytime dramas. It wasn’t the Four Seasons, but then again, I’m not Ashley Judd.
Only negative was that the commode was in the middle of the group cell and I think I was the only one in there not combating a case of violent diarrhea. 22 hours of basking in the smell of other men’s filth made that first breath of freedom that much sweeter.

A little hard to find but there is a parking garage you can use. Police station is near the library and court house. Came in to file a report today. The officers were very nice and helpful. Station was not to busy.

I think that this police station is pretty good. They do the best they can they also have one of the biggest jails in Van Nuys CA. I went over to visit a client that was arrested at the Van Nuys Jail and he said that he was being treated well. I’m a bail bondsman that works at Big Boy Bail Bonds, Inc in Van Nuys right across the street from the Van Nuys Jail and I go to this station almost everyday and post bonds at the jail. The jailers are not the best to work with but they also try the best they can considering they are locked in the jail with a bunch of mad inmates. Over all this place is ok. Best part about it is having my bail bonds office be right across the street from them.

Its not as fun as the County Jail Facilities and not as clean either but it gets the job done. Right in the heart of the valley the LAPD get the job done while the jailers inside are hen pecking slowly at their computers. Thank you LAPD for what you do and get some typing lessons for the jailers at the comps.

The officers were helpful and were able to direct me to were my friend was being held at. I’ve never been at a station before but it was clean and not at all as intimidating as I thought it could be.
Also, they were nice enough to give me info to help recover my friend’s car for the tow yard.
They did what they can in a very polite and professional manner.

Not that the notoriously inefficient, incompetent, and questionably racist Los Angeles Police Department needs anymore haters on the bandwagon, but let’s just say I write this review to one officer in particular to give him one last middle finger (aside from the one I gave his smirking face outside of court) and to let everyone know…
LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT GETTING ANY. MORE. OF. MY. HARD-​EARNED. MONEY.
So much for filling your quota, buddy.
Backstory…
I was busted for turning right from Van Nuys Blvd onto Moorpark Avenue between 7 – 9 AM in the morning. The sign telling you not to do that is hard to see if you’re not familiar with the area and are just looking for the right street your GPS told you to turn on. No, actually, it’s right at the intersection, right at the VERY corner where you’re not supposed to turn. Nice little ticket trap there, City of Van Nuys. I missed the sign because, again, I was unfamiliar with the area, and there was a pickup truck tailgating my ass and no doubt would have hit me if I slowed down to read the sign.
About 15 – 20 feet after I turn, this lunatic officer jumps IN FRONT OF my SUV and starts waving his arms like a madman, and then berates ME for not watching where I was going. WTF?!! Last I checked, streets are for cars, sidewalks are for WALKING PEDESTRIANS. He goes through the motions asking for my license and paperwork. I comply and then he points out the sign to me. I quickly apologize, politely explain it was an honest mistake and offer to correct my error and turn back onto Van Nuys (there was plenty of clearance from a nearby sidestreet). He just says, (and I quote!), «Well you’re already most of the way through the street (umm 15 feet past the stop sign?), so you might as well just keep going.» Again… BIG FAT WTF!!! So first you bust my ass for breaking this preposterous law, then you tell me to continue to break the law!!!
Anyway, I wasn’t about to pay this ticket — even the officer admitted I wasn’t doing anything dangerous or wreckless, but rather «inconveniencing the citizens of Van Nuys who petitioned for that sign». I ended up delaying my court date twice due to some emergency family issues so even though I was busted last November I just went to court last Tuesday and guess what…
THE F*CKER SHOWED UP.
OMFG. Wow. Don’t you have a city to protect? Don’t you have, oh I dunno, drug dealers and gang bangers to bust rather than trying to squeeze whatever money you can from someone who missed a sign that didn’t even endanger anyone?
ANYWAY, as luck would have it, even though the judge agreed with my logic and agreed it was dumb for me to be penalized for what was really a harmless error, he still told me that the law is the law, and that yes, I should have put the convenience of the citizens of Van Nuys wanting their quiet little street over my safety and the safety of the driver tailgating me.
…ok, fine. But still, no way I was gonna pay that $ 280 ticket. That’s more than your average speeding ticket. F*ck that.
I opted for community service instead. For all things, if I’m gonna have to give my time and money to ANYTHING, I’d MUCH RATHER give it to my local neighborhood than to some greedy assh*le cop’s pension. And I will say it again…
So much for filling your quota, buddy. While you were trying to get me on a sign there were probably shops being robbed and people getting hurt. And you STILL didn’t get any money from me. So you can run and tell that, HOMEBOY.
