As a former member of a law enforcement agency, I am pretty well versed in what law enforcement officers (sworn and unsworn public servants) can do, should do, and are expected to do. Throughout the last months of 2024, every single person I have spoken with about our local law enforcement support has said very very negative things about response time, courtesy, professionalism (when and if they were dispatched and finally arrived). To me, this is more than sad. It is unacceptable conduct on behalf of those involved in receiving calls for assistance - from any "public servant" in any capacity. Especially since those they "serve" pay their salaries!!!!! Law enforcement was developed to uphold the sacred CONSTITUTION of the United States of America - not withstanding the Preamble to the Constitution. Anybody read that lately? "...In order to form a more PERFECT union...establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty to OURSELVES and our posterity, do ORDAIN and establish this Constitution for the United States of America..." My Dad, an unsung, incredibly humble late critically injured U.S. Army foot soldier fought against EVIL, tyranny, injustice, genocide, and pure hate - all to allow us the freedoms (that only come from protecting them) that we now have...but I ask you...for how much longer??? How much longer will we be granted our freedoms (supposed to be protected by laws and it follows, law enforcement) if they are not reasonably enforced and protected??? How much longer? What is this county, city, country, and world to become if corruption, lawlessness, insurrection, discrimination, hate, and unwillingness to enforce and uphold our laws meant to preserve our way of life, last??? Ask yourselves! Think about it! Really! And last, but not least, WHAT kind of legacy are we leaving (our example) as to what is acceptable conduct for generations to come? Are they even going to have a safe, decent, quiet, clean country and TRUSTWORTHY government (which includes law enforcement agencies) to look to for assistance and help in times of trouble? What will they have? Tell me, please! WHAT WILL THEY HAVE??? Are we "...Pledging our allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic, for which it stands...ONE NATION UNDER GOD...INDIVISIBLE...WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL...??????" ARE WE????? read more

The male sheriff here are always searching you in jail. It's not a good feeling to have male cops searching you often. Wasn't a good experience to have men touching me. Not to mention a lot of them have mega polluter Ram Cummins trucks which is bad for the environment. read more

If you guys are scared of a puppy just because it's a pit bull you need to turn your badge in, me and my dog were surrounded by six sheriff officers, and all of them gripped their gun as soon as they seen her in the bed of my brother's truck I was being abused. I called them for help and I was arrested. they gave me no reason why and they never read me my Miranda rights. read more

This county and its law enforcement is a joke!!!! My daughter was jumped at a day use campground in riverkern and it took the sheriff 2 + hours to respond.... This is outrageous and they should be ashamed of there performance and the fact that they let the offenders have enough time to leave the scene!!! DISGRACEFUL!!! read more

I'd just like to give a "HUGE" shout out and an official THANK YOU to the unprofessional officers at the sherriff department who, amid a medical EMERGENCY, instead of protecting and servings, insisted on belittling and bad mouthing me (calling me girl, drug addict, and a slue of other unnecessary comments). ALL THE WHILE completely ignoring their "hypocrite oath" and over stepping the bounds of their job description. The EMT, however, were wonderful, polite, and showed a general concern for the stranger they treat; an biased you can't train into a person. This ONE insident just goes to show the true level at which these untrained, juvenile, and ethical officers regard anyone not wear a badge or of said stature. It's SAD. What kind of respectable individual (nevermind the situation) treats another person as subhuman; a neglected dog for lack of better words simply because said individual needs assistant. These officers acted in this manner in front the general public; a probably who most likely had more compassion for someone (a stranger) in need than than all the above mentioned as a collective whole. read more

I have been here more than I would like to be trust me. At least 4 times in one month, that's a crazy amount of times for anyone person. Anyway, mostly people come here to get a sheriff to serve court orders to the other party(defendants). You have to pay a fee for different requests, see the fee schedule. Also I would advise that you bring cash and not use your card because you will be charged extra $3.00 to use your card and one time I came and because the power had went out their card machine wasn't working for a few days and they said they were still waiting on bright house to come and fix the issue. That day I didn't have enough time to leave and get money from the bank and return on time, they close at 4pm. Another thing I'd advise is coming as soon as you can; when you have a court order for them to serve depending on what it is they all are time sensitive and have different time rules. Must be served at minimum 5 days or 16 days before court hearing for example. If you don't turn it in soon enough the sheriff may not deliver it in time for your court hearing and you will have to start completely over to try and get a new court date with new fees. You must turn in a proof of service to keep your court date. Again they open at 9am, close at 4pm same as the courthouse, but I would do everything first thing in the morning or try to come before 3pm. This is an expensive way to deliver some paper but the alternative is getting someone at least 18 to do it for free or using a professional server; I went with the expensive axx sheriff process so that I would just get it over with and not involve anyone I know or try to find a stranger willing to do it. read more

See all

The sheriff have always been helpful and kind. They do their job and some go the extra mile. Thumbs Up to our sheriff. Everyone else who doesn't like them or have negative comments, don't break the law and you won't have a problem. read more

I called a unit out to my residence because I felt that there was a prowler around my fence. The deputy searched around my property and did not see a prowler. My neighbors and I have had previous issues with incidents such as this one, however the deputy acted very nonchalant about the situation. He claimed he would try to keep an eye on the residence and he thinks he knows that guy that has been lurking around the neighborhood at 3 AM. I do not understand how this was helpful at all and showed me that if he did find the suspicious character nothing would be done about. Thanks for protecting and serving. read more
