They are exactly what you would expect from a small town Midwestern police department. You have a…read moresergeant (at least I think he is a sergeant, I actually have no idea what is name/rank is. He was so unremarkable that after looking at a picture of the Northbrook PD, there were at least 4 different officers that could be him) who pretends to be compassionate and understanding, but you can see the insincerity gleaming from his tiny beady eyes. He is the kind of guy whose life revolves around the police- probably has a part time job working as a cop in another city, maybe teaches "criminal justice" at a community college, consistently gives out the most speeding tickets each month, all while drinking himself to sleep each night so he can forget about the fact that his wife left him and he never had a son to play catch with in his empty back yard. You almost feel sorry for the guy, but then he opens his mouth and you suddenly feel the urge to thank the woman who broke his tiny grinch heart. While I can't say anything positive about most of the officers, I must give credit where it is due. The star is solely for Officer Kim (ignore the fact that I had no choice but give at least one star). He actually deserves 5 out of 5 stars and is by far the best officer I have ever met. Unfortunately, Northbrook PD has come to my place more times than I care to remember. However, Officer Kim was the one stand out member. Unlike the rest of this motley crew, he was professional, acted with integrity and deescalated the situation easily (which is a lot more than I can say for the sergeant above, who only made the situation worse and straight up lied to the hospital staff). Sadly, no one from the department will read this and even if they did, it wouldn't matter because my opinion won't change anything. Regardless, I still want to say that if all policemen were like Officer Kim, maybe people would actually trust the police instead of looking at them with disgust. I know I would.

Let me start off with saying it's extremely sad that we have racist police in Northbrook. Their job…read moreis to serve and protect people no heist. I'm a black woman who drives a very nice car. I work in Northbrook so I'm there a lot. I have been followed by the police sooooo many times for absolutely no reason. I have seen them pass a white person and then get behind me. Today no was exception. The cop was just sitting watching people pass by. The moment that he saw me, he immediately pulled out. I said to myself " watch he get behind me". Guess what he did! After passing three other cars that had white people in them. I wasn't speeding or anything. Just because the color of my skin I have to be heist daily. He didn't pull me over because, he no cause to do so. I'm feed up! I should be able to go where I want without some cop messing me. It's so many other things that they can be doing. Besides messing with me.

Located a few miles north of Milwaukee right along the freezing-cold shore of Lake Michigan is this affluent suburb which has a nice Custard Stand, a good hot dog shop, and then a Mall which absolutely everybody goes to. It's a fancy outdoor mall with a lot of fancy stores and a Trader Joe's in it and it makes the traffic and parking around that area absolutely nightmarish. Despite this I do think it's a really nice suburb and probably one of my favourite areas of Milwaukee. I've had some amazing concerts up here as well - and I mean really really good ones.
