I have been waking up with anxiety attacks all night. I will be going to the ASO office and speaking with somebody. Also getting checked out due to my heart. I was literally going home from work, tired. Almost was home and they pulled up with cameras and K-9 and I sustained injuries all because they thought I had drugs in the car

Yesterday morning about 940 am, Sunday March 31, 2019, I picked up a friend on Hwy 200 and…read moreproceeded N down SE 1st Ave. downtown close to Harry's..., heading to church. I didn't feel like I was speeding but sure enough there was a lady police officer standing in the street and flagged me over, pulled me into the Remax real estate office parking lot. I felt sick as I remember belatedly, that the speed limit was 25mph!!..which had surprised me one day when I noticed how low it was...ANYHOW. This lady police officer, I think her name was Rodriguez...stood on the passenger side of my truck and I gently reached for my registration/insurance above my sun visor and then looked at her and said "I am getting my drivers license out of my left front pocket"..and she thought I said "I was HOT"..which meant I had a gun....instead of getting ALL EXCITED..like some cops on YouTube, she calmly said "if you are carrying its no BIG DEAL, I would just ask you to stand out of the car"..just like that...no PANIC...." Imagine that..? And she took my license calmly as Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, said politely "give me a moment please" and went into her cruiser...checked me out. Reminded me that the speed fine for 36 mph in a 25mph was $200 some odd Bucks!!! Wished me well,....smiled broadly and pulled the next guy over....she let me go!!! So, what is my point? WE NEED MORE police officers like this!!! Thanks so much for doing a stand up professional job, reminding me of the law, being polite and earning my RESPECT.

Giving 4 Stars b/c I had to come here twice to get a Courtesy Report filed in another state for ID…read morefraud, otherwise, they'd def get a HIGH FIVE with Stars to match! Friendly (yes, & I don't work here), helpful, accommodating receptionist. Officer Harmon took awhile to get here; she was out & about. Nice, friendly, but re-directed me to another state to file ;/ Officer Sgt. Hughes also took awhile to get to the office, when I returned to file the Rpt, since the other state wouldn't take my info, without something originating from the State in which I live. He was courteous, friendly, efficient, professional. The CR took all of 10mins max to file... so thank you, Sgt. Hughes! I can finally get this going! Easy access, Reid @11th Street. Shares the same block as the Palatka FD. Parking on a grass/dirt lot across the street, if Visitor parking is full.

I was "pulled over" while riding my bicycle at 6 MPH. Cop says" I could not see your reflector…read more All of my reflectors were on the bicycle. But still...who cares about reflectors on bicycles when there is theft? Murder. And all sorts of ugly things going on. Obviously, a rookie who hasn't been trained better. It says I'm from San Francisco...I do not know why. I didn't put that there. Must be some Yelp nonsense. I am here in Ocala, FL, talking about some lame rookie pulling me over on a bicycle. OF COURSE, HE LET ME GO crime solved today!!!!

I don't think I can find the words to say how grateful I am that not only the kids got this opportunity, but the parents as well. I am truly amazed at this police department. How they "do it" is beyond me! Let me tell you why... Do you know the population of St. Augustine, Florida is right at 14K? WHOA! I know...right? It seems bigger than that. But you know what?...that means they have a very small police department since the population is low. Let's think about that for a minute...HELLO!...this is a tourist town!!! Doesn't it seem like you always see an officer somewhere? Next question...how many people do you think visit St. Augustine every year? Yep...I guessed a million too! But it's 7 million! Yes, 7,000,000 people! How does this police force keep up? They are humpin'..that's how! They have a very small force and it goes without saying they are understaffed. The next time you see a St. Augustine police officer take some time to thank them for all they do because it's not easy with these numbers. They are good, but numbers are thin. As for the station, it is very small. But we truly enjoyed learning about day to day operations there and learning how they juggle their schedules to make it work for the people (you and me that is). After all, someone has to always be on duty to protect and defend. We all thought it was cool to see the interrogation rooms, the evidence lockers and especially the vehicles. The bullet proof vest were a big hit too. I, and we, appreciated the educating tour of the police department by Officer Samson, the time he dedicated to us and making us feel very welcome. Thank you!

Daily you will find yard debris, etc., all over the county roads, all coming from tractor trailers not covering their loads, cars / trucks pulling personal trailers not covering their loads. Cars getting damaged due to this negligence. Sheriff does not see an issue with this. The sheriff (Vincent) does not see handicapped space issues a problem. People using them without placards, non-handicapped using them all OK with him.

The men & woman who work for this Sheriff's office are dirty as the day is long. We have had several instances of local kids (who have family in the department) come by and break into our cars, our shed and the Sargent state they won't do anything about it because who the kids are related to someone in dispatch. Even with clear video showing the kids faces and them calling each others real names.. the officers state they won't do anything, won't investigate the breaking.
