I recently called for help. I was attacked by somebody with a knife and was face with the knife…read more I was treated like a criminal. I was harassed interrogated and left on a third story parking structure after me telling the police officers that I just had an aneurysm and embolism in my heart, and if they could please help me get to my car I had several heavy and a dog that I rescued in my arms they drove away three cars, three police cars and left me in that parking structure. I was horrified by the time I got to my car, I was profusely sweating and was out of breath. I called the department and let them know what it happened. I just can't even believe this is the conduct of the sheriffs when I called for help and was treated like a criminal in my hometown the police officers definitely didn't behave in this manner. I personally have had friends that were sheriffs and this is not proper conduct.!

On 5/29/23 I was the victim of an out of control reckless driver on Marguerite near Vista Del Lago…read morein Mission Viejo. The driver was seen by multiple witnesses traveling over 100MPH before colliding with my car twice (once in the rear, once on the side) causing multiple injuries (19 rib breaks, punctured lung, multiple punctures to spleen, nerve damage to left arm/hand, concussion). These injuries nearly killed me! The reckless driver claimed he was going approximately 55 in a 45 and was recommended to receive a standard speeding ticket in the report! Even though in the report multiple witnesses saw him traveling nearly twice that speed and the wreckage showed he was going much faster than he claimed . He was also driving on a restricted NIP license, had 11 other infractions in 2 years a DUI and reckless driving offenses!!! This doesn't even address his sealed juvenile record! Why was he only recommended to receive a standard speeding ticket by OC Sheriffs (his offenses and injuries he caused met the requirements of a much heftier violation). This kid is a habitual offender with a pattern of bad driving and bad choices behind him! For public safety he should not be on the road!

Absolutely terrible experience with the Orange County sheriff department this evening, 8/13/26!!…read more My hubby and I were returning home from Rancho Capistrano winery where we were supporting our local business who is going out of business. My husband had one glass of wine with dinner. The Orange County sheriff department set up a DUI checkpoint this evening in San Clemente just off the I5 south (Pico exit). We were unfortunate enough to get stopped in this absolute debacle. It was a disorganized, discombobulated nightmare that ended up robbing us of our evening and left us thoroughly disillusioned with the astounding incompetence displayed by the sheriffs department. The sheriff department harassed my husband from 9:08 to 10:08 PM before I finally decided to leave on foot since they had taken our vehicle and keys. They refused to breathalyze my husband, who repeatedly implored them to breathalyze him, as I am a doctor and carry a breathalyzer with me in our vehicle. He would never have gotten behind the wheel had he not been fit to drive. There were 6 sheriffs present, each of whom ignored our pleas and continued to humiliate my husband. After they saw me leave on foot into the dark of the night, they finally allowed him to be breathalyzed, and he blew a 0.02. What an absolute travesty to see our tax dollars squandered in such a despicable and senseless manner!! We are aghast and expect accountability!!

I was arrested for "trespassing" while trying to pick up my legal mail from my old address--the…read moresame address that's still on my driver's license. Instead of doing even the most basic verification, deputies took my ex's word at face value and decided to throw me in jail. I ended up sitting in custody for four days over something that clearly wasn't a crime--proved by the fact that the charges were dropped. That tells you everything you need to know about how poorly this situation was handled. This wasn't law enforcement--it was lazy decision-making and a lack of proper training. No common sense, no investigation, just straight to arrest. Situations like this shouldn't happen, yet here we are. If this is the level of judgment being used, it's honestly concerning. People's freedom shouldn't depend on whether an officer feels like doing their job correctly that day.

Biased and Unfair Treatment by Officer Stephens on Alicia Parkway…read more I'm writing to formally express my deep concern about the behavior of Officer Stephens, who stopped me near Kite Hill on Alicia Parkway and issued a speeding ticket--despite the fact that I was not speeding. As a proud service member of the U.S. Army, I've dedicated myself to protecting this country and the freedoms we all enjoy. It was both disappointing and disturbing to be treated with clear disrespect and what felt like racial profiling. Officer Stephens made inappropriate comments, including questioning my appearance (specifically, why I was wearing earrings) and spoke to me in a dismissive and demeaning manner. He did not allow me to speak or explain anything during the stop. His conduct was unprofessional and, in my opinion, discriminatory. I strongly believe Officer Stephens is in need of immediate diversity and sensitivity training. This type of behavior undermines public trust and reflects poorly on the department as a whole. I hope this complaint is taken seriously. No one should be made to feel targeted or disrespected based on their appearance, background, or ethnicity--especially those who serve this country.

The Newport Beach Police Department is one of the finest in the U.S., and that's something to be…read morevery proud of!!! They keep our city 'one that many call home, and many visit from around the world" SAFE!!! And of course, how can we post a review without, stating that those summer uniforms are the best!!!!, Who doesn't love those uniforms. Yet on a serious note. I agree with the poster below... most of the officers here are amazing, yet there are a handful, that clearly don't do the department any justice. My only complaint (as silly as it is), is their Facebook page. It's not engaging with others. It's cold and not welcoming. I also follow the Huntington Beach PD on my facebook, and there is such a huge difference in the way they (HB) interacts with their neighborhood (via facebook). I really think Newport Beach, needs to take a page from HB. To become neighborhood friendly and not so standoff'ish, this would only benefit the department and our beautiful city. That's it, that's really all I wanted to say. STAY SAFE out there, these are crazy times.

I needed to relay the situation to a family member that lived out of state and it was nerve wracking to say the least. The officers were there for hours waiting for the coroner and explaining to all kinds of nosey people with somewhat inappropriate questions. I have a handful of cops in my family but I don't get to hear about the slow days per se. LBPD contracts with a service called TIPS. They send counselors to calls where someone is impacted by a traumatic situation. These people along with the officers were amazing and they stayed till the last person walked out and I locked the door. Of course if I get a ticket from LBPD in the future I'm def coming back and taking some s away.
