They were super helpful when I forgot my car key and my car was stuck near Target. Nonetheless I walked home and returned with the right key

I was resting at park in Brea and an officer told me that I was camping and it was illegal for me to stay at the park. What kind of bull shit is that. The sign says park open from 7am to 10. I was there from 9:30 till 11am. I asked how was I camping and all he said was that he believes that I was camping and it's a misdeamor. They should train the police better. I was very upset how I was treated. read more

I am so thankful for the best PD there ever was. I've been the town bug a boo asking for my place of business to be patrolled at night due to the escalating crimes and vandalism. Packages have been stolen from the front door of my business, my ring camera and solar floodlight stolen, and just yesterday an empty lock box was cut by the guy in the photo. I called Brea PD right away and asked for patrol to check on us throughout the night and the kind Officer Wendling took my report right away. Thank you for your service and for continuing to keep watch. I still get nightly patrols and that makes me feel so much safer. Guardian angels in Brea for sure! read more

Brea Police Department is one of the finest departments of chronically educated men and women in blue I have come across in my pathetic decades of existence. Why? Do inspect multi-degreed Chief Conklin directing from above allowing citizens a peaceful existence in affluent, hilly, Brea (definitely does not smell like Tar Town anymore). Personally observed BPD using humor and tactical wisdom instead of commiserating, blaming or "orchestrating theatre" e.g. perp singing "I'm a little teacup" on the fly. LOL. Officer called out code 5140 funny. Thanks to BPD for tendering service with wisdom, kindness and humor. Special mention to Corporal Conner 6'5? (does he play b-ball?) for getting it done, efficiently and gripe-free. Awesome. read more

I was walking with someone when we came across an older gentleman laying on the ground. We got to him, picked him up and had him sit on a bench. We guess that he had Alzheimer's, he kept saying he was okay but couldnt focus and another passerby noted he had his shoes on the wrong feet. He could barely stand. We were worried and called Brea PD. They picked up on the first ring, the dispatcher asked me a few questions about the gentleman and it seemed like they knew who he was. An officer (last name started with a C) drove up within seconds; before I was even off the phone with dispatch! He definitely knew the gentleman and started chatting with him about being out extra late today and looked for wounds on him in a gentle manner. This cop was like 6 foot something and just seeing how he could be so caring and careful was touching. He picked the gentleman up, told us that he knew exactly where he lives and left. Response time was amazing, dispatch was efficient and the officer was wonderful. Good ending!! read more

Brea police are pretty cool, for OC cops. Being part of a motorcycle club/group, I tend to get crap from police/CHP relatively often. Brea PD has been pretty cool though and their officers don't bother me as long as I am keeping cool with my riding and other actions. The station itself is right next to the Brea Mall. The ladies who work the desks up front are always very nice and helpful, and the officers are always professional and reliable. I have gone in there many times to have tickets written off, even if it wasn't Brea PD who gave them to me. The officers are just that cool, so Ill pay the extra $$ to have them sign off fix-it-tickets any day of the week! Brea is a pretty safe city to live in. The police help maintain that safe feel. read more

The men an women at the Brea PD are professional, quick to act and kind. I have contacted them on several occasions which range from emergencies to requests for extra patrols and always find them to be very helpful. I thank them for their service and appreciate that they risk their lives every day to help us maintain law and order! read more

Met an awesome police officer and civil servant. Officer Todd Schmaltz! A true definition of how a police officer should be. Real professional and if we had more officers like him, communities would be safer and citizens respected. Very good man!! Thank you officer! read more

My fiancé recently went to the Brea PD to report a catalytic converter theft. The lady clerk who helped us and took the info was extremely polite, informative, helpful, and professional. Thanx Brea PD! read more

Our car was broken in to in this parking lot at lazy dog. The "manager" on told us that the cameras outside didn't cover the area of the parking lot where our car was parked. He suggested we call the police since there was nothing they could do. We thought Brea was a safe neighborhood until now. We are now waiting outside, alone, and in the dark since that was all the "manager" could offer us. We waited in the dark, possibly being stalked by the perpetrators who broke into our car in the first place, with no help or even reassurance from dispatch as to how long we would be waiting in a dark, empty parking lot we would be waiting to file a simple police report. read more

Have to say I haven't been this terrified during what amounts to FELONY STOP (only things missing: orders given by bullhorn, backing up to sound of voice and placing the lotion in the basket) since a series of harassments (come to think, hashtag metoo) in MY.OWN.NEIGHBORHOOD when I travelled by bicycle in 1999. What did I do that takes priority over Amber alerts? Rode my moped on Carbon Canyon the Day before Thanksgiving...just the route Google Maps told me to take. Used to give a good share to local Brea businesses going to Goodwill, Farrell's. just buying burgers and gas in town, #no more. read more

Super nice and efficient. A Brioso #1562 was so nice and eager to help us! We went in to file a report and she seemed to really care about our situation. Thanks officer Brioso!!! read more

Horrible experince I was walking on Brea blrd around 1am because I work at yard house which is on Brea blrd and birch when the police stop me for no reason I think they were looking for some gang member or something they were very rude and unproffecional I can't believe Brea has this kind of public servers. When they finally found the guy they let me go I was so scare I didn't even know what was going on they didn't say anything not even and apologize for the mistake. read more

I got pulled over yesterday after work an mind you I got pulled over and accused of being on Meth or hard drugs like this!! I was shocked! I never ever have done or seen any of these kinds of drugs ever! I'm a 48 ye old mature lady just living my life like a normal law abiding citizen. What I did have was a cup of coffee and a sprite! Not even alcohol!!!! They said my eyes were dialated and I didn't believe them and I said nothing. The field sobriety test was passed but my rapid heartbeat and so called dialated pupils is why they wrongfully arrested me! The medics came and suggested I go to the hospital in which I should have! My blood pressure was thru the roof and I forgot to take my blood pressure meds. Oh and I don't smoke either! I have been known to have a fast pulse. Of course anyone in a situation like this would be nervous when you are surrounded by bullies! Oh they didn't even get a female cop to frisk me it was a male Cop and he touched my private areas. I will be suing them and I was polite and said after they gave me a breathalyzer test which read 0.00 for alcohol yet they were not satisfied with that and then handcuffed me and took me to the station where I was re given a field test again!!!!! And the man said I have good balance well of course so! I was stone cold sober! Then they gave me a blood test and booked me! How embarrassing! I should have gone to the hospital since blood pressure was high and let the doctors take care of me and give me Blood test there which is more accurate and get results immediately and I would be clean! I was super honest with them and gave them my doctors name in Texas where I came from Months ago . I suffer from High blood pressure and PTSD and depression in which I take legal medication for this. They said they will send me something in the mail regarding results in my blood test and my reply was " and y'all will Find me innocent". I was wrongfully treated and wrongfully accused. Where is justice in this world ?? Oh n they take your iPhones and laugh and snicker and go thru your photos and text messages and fb and other thing and figure out your passcode and then if they see that u see they are doing that they lock u up in a tiny dirty bathroom There are cameras and they saw my private parts and I was the only female there . I was treated worse than Texas cattle ready to be killed and enjoyed. These people are sick and twisted and I am Going to sue ! I am An innocent lady just plain Jane lady and they singled me Out oh and I was having a sneezing fit due to allergies and the officers didn't care said oh Meth! I'm a very old Fashioned lady from Texas and I don't know about all those weird drugs! I will hire a lawyer on contingency and if this gets aired on tv I don't care ! I am INNOCENT! I'm in the era of clean movies and Disney and never seen these weird drugs that I was accused of!!! I'm A grandmother too! I take blood pressure meds and yes those make my pupils dialated! These people need to be trained! THEY I'm Sorry are ignorant . read more

DESTROYED MY CAR!! Boyfriend was arrested while using my car while I was at work so he can pick up our baby from day care while I work. I got a call from police while working saying my boyfriend was arrested and my car was put in "storage". Also they said they took my ID out of my car and left it at the police station so I can go pick it up so I'm able to get my car out of "storage". The next morni KOng before work I go to the station right as they open and ask for my ID. They dont have it of course. I explained an officer told me that it was and that I could cone pick it up at any time. They said the officers that arrested him were off that day. Oh how nice. So I asked them if I was able to use my expired drivers license to get my car out. I only had 1 hour to get My car and get my baby to daycare and get to work. They said I would be able to. So I leave to the tow yard. 5 minutes out they are calling me saying "oops we forgot to give you the release form for your car". Well ain't that something.... So I go back and I have to pay $110 dollars for a dumb piece of paper. on this paper was a list of everything that could possibly be in my car (I.E. registration, insurance, ect.) So I know they were going through my car to find those things since they checked them off. I go and pick up my car and my vents for My air conditioning were broken. also all the paperwork that they were looking for were thrown all over the floor of my car. a complete mess. I'm disgusted that they treat my car with such disrespect. horrible unreliable service from brea PD. I'll be filing a complaint as well with them. honestly though can't expect much from them anyways... read more

I am a latino gentleman, moved to brea 3 months ago. Ever since ive lived here ive had police cruisers pass by my house daily , park across the street, and when I walk my dog to the local trail I have police either cruising by or parking very close to me. I havent been approached yet but thats prob not gonna last. The feeling that gives me is indescribably uncomfortable. Ive often felt racism in my life and it honestly makes me feel the same way. hopefully im just being paranoid.... read more

They do not rate one star, they have attitudes and are not citizen friendly. They do their best to intimidate people rather than being pro active, they need a class on how to win friends and deal with people. Somewhere in time the city will wake up and bring in some proactive officers and they just might fix all these negative posts. A similar situation happened to me on my property today and their poor attitudes will get them reprimanded, if the chief and city manager read enough of these maybe it will make some city council members roll some heads. read more

A police force that is about its community. Officers that make you feel comfortable in talking to them. I've had many encounters with Brea police. I've had to ask them for help with civil matters. I've interacted with Brea police officers at community events and even had an arrest once. Every encounter end with respect & appreciation for the officers and their handling of each. I'm grateful for our police force and their work. read more

Unprofessionalism, rudeness, and discrimination at its finest covered by the claim of following protocol. Show me another person who needed to get fingerprinted after showing a valid CA Drivers License, Birth Certificate, SSN card, and credit cards just to have their vehicle released to them... I'll wait. Instead of apologizing for accusing me of stealing my own identity and saying my credit cards were fake or stolen because I did not want to show them my credit card numbers, the watch commander, tells me that I should go to the dmv and take a new picture (I look exactly like my ID according to every other place where one is required). He also says that I am not 5'4 and that I am 5'6 based off of his visual speculation. Complete and utter bull! I've been the same height since I was 15. I just had a Dr.s appointment on November 6th confirming my weight and height which matches that of my CA Drivers' License. This was first time coming to this city and to have such a negative experience just makes the entire city look bad. read more

I made a report earlier today believing my purse was stolen from my car. I did not expect getting my purse back. However, officer Jessica Ernst helped me to find the purse, among other things, by calling the business near which I lost my purse. It turned out that I left my car trunk open with my purse in it and a good citizen saved my purse, closed my trunk, and left my purse with the nearby business. Feel embarrassed for my carelessness but extremely happy and grateful to Officer Ernst and the good citizen! Love Brea and love Brea Police. :) read more

I was blessed today by Police Officer Daniel Moon, I called the Brea PD asking for support with some trouble I was having with my 13 year old, I wanted to have someone talk to her about where some of the things she has been doing will lead her if she keeps them up, I was given Daniel Moon's phone number, he allowed me to bring her in and took the time to talk to her and share his experience with her, it is so important to be willing to try to help this generation make good choices before they have to make an official visit to the police department. read more
