My experiences with the Goodyear Police Department have been extremely disappointing, but this most…read morerecent situation has significantly changed my confidence in the department and its commitment to serving and protecting the community. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. On a previous occasion, I contacted Goodyear PD after an injunction against harassment was violated, and I felt that no meaningful action was taken. In another incident, I was threatened at a Walmart while my children were present by an individual who had a firearm. Again, I contacted Goodyear PD and was extremely disappointed with the response and lack of action. Most recently, I was assaulted by four individuals at a Wells Fargo Bank. There was video footage of the incident, including evidence showing another individual putting their hands on me, yet once again, I feel that the situation was not handled appropriately and no meaningful action was taken. What has made this experience even more frustrating is the lack of communication and follow-up. I attempted to contact Officer Kane, who was involved with the case, to request an update and ask questions. I also reached out to his sergeant. I have left voicemails and communicated with other staff members in an effort to receive a response. It has now been approximately three weeks, and I have yet to receive a return call. As a member of this community and as a victim seeking assistance, I should not have to repeatedly call and leave messages simply to receive basic communication regarding my case. When residents contact law enforcement--especially regarding harassment, threats involving a weapon, or physical assault--they should be able to trust that their concerns will be taken seriously, properly investigated, and followed up on. At this point, my repeated experiences have caused me to lose a significant amount of confidence in the Goodyear Police Department. I believe there needs to be greater accountability, improved communication with victims, and additional training to ensure officers are properly responding to and investigating serious incidents. Law enforcement carries an enormous responsibility to the community. When that responsibility is not fulfilled, there should be accountability and a process for addressing those failures. Residents should be able to rely on their police department when they need protection and assistance, and unfortunately, my experiences have left me feeling that calling Goodyear PD for help is ineffective.

The thief was caught on camera & they even had a close up of his face. They phoned in the investigation and the thief was never caught. Case closed. "Sorry" is what I got from the detective. I have awful neighbors. One neighbor had 4 dogs that would bark hysterically outside 24 hours a day & night, non-stop. Speaking to my neighbor did nothing. So for 3 years I called the police & they did nothing too. Thank God he moved. One officer called me after one call, "I hear the dogs barking, your neighbors are home but they are not answering the door so I can't do anything." Such a great effort. For 5 years I've called the police about a neighbor who consistently does handy work on his front drive way at late hours 10pm to 4am. You'll hear power washer, drills, saws, generator, etc The police always pull up, roll down the window & tell him to stop. Soon as they leave my asshole neighbor starts his power tools again. Like what's the point? They don't give out tickets for disturbing the peace? They only give out tickets for speeding vehicles.

My mom was dealing with a medical issue and was transported to the hospital and was delirious. When…read moreshe got to the hospital they couldn't verify her identity since she didn't have her ID with her and couldn't give the doctors her name, so she was booked in as a Jane Doe so when I called they said they didnt have her there. I called the other local hospitals and they also said they had no record, and the ambulance company couldnt tell me where they took her due to HIPAA. After over 4 hours of trying to find out where she was with no new information I called Avondale PD for help. Officer Murti came, called the hospital she was supposed to be transported to, who said they did have a patient listed as a Jane Doe. He took her ID, went to the hospital and confirmed it was her and called to let me know. He was very professional and helpful. Thank you for helping my family while we were dealing with our crisis Officer Murti!

Thanks to ADOT closing down I-10 and diverting ALL traffic off of the interstate and into the lovely metropolis that is Avondale/Tolleson, there was a major traffic issue all throughout this area. It took over 1 hour to get from Fairway drive to 75th avenue. Completely unacceptable. At the Van Buren & 99th intersection, I witnessed the following: Wrong way driving by multiple drivers The intersection was blocked by multiple cars, semi trucks, and even vehicle transport trucks. Wreckless driving by multiple people Multiple near collisions Sure enough there ended up being a minor fender bender in the far right lane. No visible damage to the vehicle and the drivers were not visibly injured. Here come the Avondale police...about 4 cars driving through the blocked and backed up intersection and also wrong way driving to get to this fender bender. Nothing was done about the clearly visible traffic issue. Not one driver was stopped, cited, or given a warning for wrong way driving or blocking a major intersection. This was outright unbelievable. Where I'm from, there are cities that will cite you $500+ for blocking intersections. This was unbelievable. They just ignored all these issues that were clearly visible and causing unsafe roads!

A big thank you to Officer J. Cruz for his professionalism, kindness, and quick action once he arrived. Although there was a delay, he apologized, took my concerns seriously, and handled the situation with care. I truly appreciate the way he treated me. One area that could be improved is the non-emergency call response. I tried to discreetly signal that I was in distress by asking for a pizza, but the call taker repeatedly told me I had the wrong number and didn't recognize that I might have been asking for help. While I understand not everyone is familiar with these types of distress signals, I hope the department considers additional training so staff can better identify callers who may be unable to speak openly. Thank you again, Officer J. Cruz, for your outstanding service. You definitely deserve a raise and a promotion for addressing the situation at hand, right away once you arrive.

Hello my name is Sochy Calles Castillo, I wanted to reach…read moreout because my dad was detained yesterday at the circle k on Lindsay and Baseline. He was blocked in by undercover officers who asked him to walk to towards them and then he was handcuffed, following that they began a search on his truck and dismantled his truck and even had a dog search it. All of this was done on the basis that someone had just been arrested and gave out a description that fit my dads truck. He was let go but he was detained there for about 2 hours all for it to not be him and of course they found nothing. Then a female officer said "we and the dog didn't find anything, we hope to not detain you like this again" As if my dad was this big drug lord, when he's just a landscaper who was just getting off the phone with my to go heat up his lunch, he has diabetes and after the whole situation his blood pressure and blood sugar were high. This behavior just seems odd and uncalled for. Then we went to the Police station the lady was very quick to try and dismiss me with the usual "I dont know everything" before even letting me explain the situation or express my questions... i even started with "I dont know who to go to, so im hoping you can direct me to the right person" She gave me so much uncalled attitude and was no help.

I'm extremely disappointed with the response I received from the Gilbert Police Department after a…read morefrightening road rage incident on Sunday, April 26. My grandson and I were in the Fry's parking lot at Baseline and Gilbert when a man aggressively pulled in front of us and nearly caused a collision. I honked my horn to avoid being hit--something any reasonable driver would do. Instead of correcting his behavior, the driver stopped his car, began yelling, got out, flipped us off, and made threatening gestures toward both me and my grandchild. He then sped off recklessly, even hitting a curb as he exited. I immediately contacted the police and provided a license plate number along with a description of the individual. The officer's response was shocking. Rather than addressing the dangerous and threatening behavior, I was told that in the future I should avoid honking my horn because "it can make people angry." That advice shifts responsibility away from the aggressor and onto the victim, which is completely unacceptable. I was also told that there was little they could do because the vehicle was registered to a woman--despite the fact that someone else was clearly driving. No effort to contact the owner, no indication of follow-up, and no reassurance that this dangerous individual would be addressed. This kind of response does not inspire confidence in public safety. When someone is behaving aggressively and threatening others in broad daylight, especially around families, there should be accountability. Instead, it felt like the situation was dismissed entirely. I expected better from a department tasked with protecting the community. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling unsupported and concerned that it may take someone getting seriously hurt before action is taken.

That's minuscule! The MAJOR issue, was "law enforcement" not knowing the LAW. Then the other officer telling her. 'You can't film inside of a store, that's where their rights end'..... so the question is. Y'all are recruiting officers, and putting them on the street to enforce laws they don't even know. Then a sergeant is called, and he thinks making someone uncomfortable is a crime... he should've gotten out, heard the statement, went to the ladies and said, "what they're doing is writhing their constitutional right" and walked off instead of in so many words telling the guy he's weird. Police chief also said, 'they're human and make mistakes' police can't make mistakes, when police make "mistakes" people die, people get hurt, not to mention, people can get wrongfully convicted. I follow things like this because I was lied on by the police in norfolk, Va. never was in trouble before that, but that taught me that no matter how well you do in life, police will harass you and trump up bogus charges just cause, so I have a distain for police in general, they violate our constitutional rights everyday, but we're suppose to follow the law. Fuck that. We need more auditors to show how much of a joke policing is
