I came here on May 12th trying to get a replacement Social Security card for my daughter. I forgot…read morewhat happened, but they had to schedule me specifically for an appointment. So after a month, I came in yesterday for my appointment and I thought I had all the documents I needed to apply for a replacement Social Security card. But turns out Rafael told me that I needed more verified documents like my child's report card showing the date of her birth and name since I did not have a student ID card. At first, I was a bit irritated because when I made the appointment, the gentleman (who I made the appointment with last time) didn't tell me I needed a specific documents and what I had on hand, he said it would be fine. But thankfully, Rafael was nice enough to explain what I needed and if I come back to him, then he would try to squeeze me in. And I told him, I'm going to go home right now and come back within 20 minutes. When I got back the security officer, Corbin was really chill and friendly. I can tell by his aura that he's a cool dude and I'm glad he's working there because I think he brings happiness in that environment with his vibe. Anyways, Raphaël saw me & signaled me to go to the window. I gave him everything I found that he asked for, and the process went smoothly. I really appreciate him because he turned my irritation into satisfaction. I'm glad I handled business because now I don't have to worry about it. And for those that go stand in line in the morning, very early to get a ticket, you don't have to do that anymore because there's a QR code on the front door where you scan with your phone and your automatic in the queue. All you have to do when they open: you scan the barcode and you get your ticket, real simple and easy. Anyways, this location was chill and the workers were cool. All I gotta say is be nice and appreciative and you'll have a great day doing things you don't want to do, lol.

Well, today I made the mistake of going to this office. After taking a number, I waited…read moreapproximately 1.5 hours before hearing an announcement over the loudspeaker: if you took a number without an appointment, you would only be sent to the window to make an appointment. At that point, I was just two numbers away from being called. I asked the security guard why there weren't signs posted near the kiosks or a notice on the electronic board explaining this beforehand. He said they were short-staffed. I replied that perhaps they should at least advertise that people need to call ahead, instead of wasting the public's time and their staff's time. I then told the clerk I wanted to wait for a manager to discuss the inefficiencies. After another 10 minutes with no response, I left. This office is beyond ridiculous

Glass windows everywhere (as if the place was a bank) makes it super hard to hear what the employee…read moreyou're meeting with. Had to almost yell to hear each other. Employees are typical government employees; seem like they couldn't care less about their job, unfriendly, cold. Not rude or anything, just very robotic. Several signs up saying firearms aren't allowed. This is a minor peeve of mine, as the 2nd amendment gives me the right to carry a firearm which SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. There's no law or statute that the sign references, so it looks like it's simply a policy of Contra Costa County, and last I checked, CCC doesn't get to override a federal constitutional law.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker embedded with a police department crisis response team, I want…read moreto recognize the outstanding response by Antioch PD officers during a recent mental health crisis involving a suicidal 13-year-old child. The officers were calm, compassionate, professional, and treated the child with dignity and empathy throughout a very high-risk situation. They quickly recognized the severity of the crisis, requested medical assistance immediately, and maintained remarkable composure during an emotionally intense encounter. In my field, I know how difficult these calls can be, and these officers represented the very best of crisis intervention and public safety. Thank you, Antioch PD, for your professionalism, humanity, and care.

I have been introduced to a web site design genius that has created fantastic web site for my business. I have earned business from local bar and restaurant. I have been introduced to so many new people that I can use myself and for my business. The Chamber members go above and beyond for everything. They made me feel welcoming and made sure that I was introduced and acknowledged as a new member. Mixers and parties they arrange are fabulous. Ambassadors are fantastic and I am happy to be part of it. I like the fact that everyone cares about growing and making our city the best that can be!

Had a house fire. Within 2 days we were tagged for cleanup by the city. My truck on the street that…read morewas never a big deal almost got towed. At first I was pissed, how heartless can you be. None of the cleanup and restoration companies could have this cleaned in the time I had. So we cleaned it up. Went to city hall to speak to the building dept. And they felt awful. They admitted it was handled wrong. ( A government agency admits wrong, yes read it again) I was shocked. Then they issued us a special permit so we could start demolishing and not wait the 2 months for a contractor. And being I am pretty good at building things and understood the process told me I could act as a owner builder. Shocked again. Didnt know that. I am going to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you City of Antioch. Amazing service we are very grateful!
