the WSPD is the sorriest group of people i've ever met. since i moved into my apartment i have had…read moreto deal with a drunk in my building harassing me and my friends, partners, and family i had over. and by harassing i mean, trying to shove his way in my own apartment, banging on my door, threatening to unalive and hurt me, he has followed myself and friends out to our cars and stood next to or behind it refusing to let people leave, blasting music to shake my floor and refusing to turn it down. the first time i called it was when he tried to shove his way into my door and get in my apartment, i ended up pepper spraying him and called the WSPD. they tried to charge me with assault instead of him. i have made numerous complaints since and police have not showed up, knocked on the wrong door then just left, and the dispatch is extremely rude every single time i call. i had one dispatcher try to tell me id be arrested for misuse of police if i kept calling for noise complaints and threats. so if yall are in a situation where you're being harassed or stalked, just go ahead and handle that yourself don't even bother calling the people that are supposed to "serve and protect"

This is the most inactive, insensitive police force I have ever encountered. I hate writing…read morenegative reviews for public safety personal as I greatly respect them for he dangerous work they do, but I have interacted with the city police twice now in nonemergency situation and been given short, unhelpful, and downright rude answers. If I call the station, it is because I am trying to report something that will help prevent future problems for our police force. Things like a man seen beating a woman in an alley or a traffic light at a major intersection that isn't working and cars nearly hitting each other because the traffic volume is too high to treat it as a four way stop. Winston Salem, I promise not to call with useless pieces of information, so let's stop treating my calls like I am an ignorant person who has no right to tell you where you might want to put a modicum of your attention. If my money is used to pay your salary I ought to at least get the right to report public safety concerns without being brushed off and hung up on!

GPD are as apathetic as most police departments. The dispatchers for the non-emergency line pretty…read moremuch mock you. Even if you call 911, those responding officers are worse. They don't believe anything, they are condescending, inexperienced, naive, and have no training regarding mental health. #acab

I arrived to conduct general business and the ladies at the front window were very pleasant and efficient.

Visited the Davidson County Sheriff's office Monday to submit my concealed carry application, which…read morewas easy and efficient. The positive experience actually started the Friday before when I called ahead to make an appointment (which is mandatory). Surprisingly, they had a slot available for Monday afternoon, which I gladly took. The lady on the phone very kindly walked me through the process, explained everything I would need (including where to find the paperwork online in advance), and gave me directions (their new address apparently leads some GPS users to an open field). I arrived about 10 minutes early Monday, but the receptionist immediately took my paperwork and money ($90 cash, ATM across the street at the gas station), and told me to have a seat until they were ready to take my fingerprints. I was in the Sheriff's office for maybe 15 minutes total. Maybe. The lobby area, which is where I stayed except to do fingerprints was super clean and inviting with comfy places to sit. The different areas (reception, patrol, detectives) are very clearly marked overhead, which is very helpful for dummies like me! My only minor gripe is that there isn't a public restroom in the lobby and I very badly needed to get rid of a Red Bull. Oh well, as I said the process was very quick and I was out of there in no time. Thanks everyone!

I enjoyed open house at the new location, 9630 Julian Clark Avenue. All of the staff members were…read morefriendly as they always are, unless they're standing in front of me while I am in the driver's seat. The building is spacious and everyone has space to do what needs to be done. I received an explanation of the intake room as well. My prayer is that I only enter that building or any other police-type facility as a visitor. They served pizza, snacks, cupcakes, cake, fresh, individually brewed coffee, and goody bags for the kids. They also had a video playing in the break room showing their old digs where they didn't have enough space. We all had a great time VISITING and touring the new police station.

About a week ago I called the MPD to report seeing 2 cars with identical rear license plates on…read morethem. The plates were Texas plates, and Texas requires a plate on the front and the back of any vehicle. The person who took my call and my contact information said someone from MPD would call me back shortly. In a while a "wireless caller" called me, confirmed who I was, and basically had me repeat what I'd told the original person at MPD. He said he would "check it out" and "get back to me with any questions". Never heard another word, and the 2 vehicles are now parked side by side at 107 Chase Water in Mooresville (28117). The picture below shows the 2 cars and the 2 identical plates. MPD was very unprofessional and apparently didn't do anything.

over the several years we've lived around here I've had the opportunity to talk to the police on…read moreseven or twelve occasions and while it hasn't always been fun we've never a bad exchange. we had a couple officers out to dispatch a rabid animal one weekend when animal control wouldn't send a tech in a truck. before that we had officers show up with hands on their holsters asking for names and addresses and what are we doing in stern tones and insisting we move verrry slowly when producing identification after I'd accidently leaned on the alarm button. another time a half dozen vehicles came down the street with all the lights on looking for a fellow who had recently committed an armed robbery; we were told rather abruptly to get inside and stay there until the situation got resolved - not super polite but appropriate to the situation... other interactions include questions about street parking, overtaking liquor-sickles, noise ordinances, other parking, the posting of private property to deter unwanted and unwelcome visitors and stuff like that... so yeah, it's hard enough dealing with the criminal element and the willfully ignorant so how about we all just try to get along..?
