Deeply Disappointed - Urgent Need for Mental Health & Domestic Violence Training…read more I'm writing this review with a heavy heart. The Long Beach Police Department seriously needs comprehensive training in handling situations involving mental health crises and domestic violence. From my experience, the officers lacked the empathy, awareness, and appropriate response needed in these extremely sensitive and often dangerous situations. Instead of de-escalation, I witnessed judgment, indifference, and in some cases, retraumatizing behavior. Survivors deserve to be believed and supported--not dismissed. And people in mental health distress need care, not punishment. This isn't just about one bad officer--it's a systemic issue. Long Beach can and must do better. The community is watching, and we need a department that's trauma-informed and truly committed to protecting all its residents. Do better, LBPD.

I needed the car towed and ticked...i had called around 10:04 pm , called after and hour once more . They didnt not show up until 2:49am what I ended finding out... I called to follow up since I couldn't wait up any longer . I found out that they let the person move the car with no citation . I was appalled and I followed up with the sergeant of the LB police department. Unfortunately he was no help either ... since I didnt say I needed her towed and cited .. thats the reason they didn't give them a ticket . Honestly who knows what the proper words to use to explain what you needed from the police department. I guess it was my fault since I didnt say I needed her cited as well. I feel really disappointed with the LB police department and have lost real confidence in them . If they handle a non emergency like this I can't imagine an actual emergency. Be careful out there , it feels we are on our own !

Since moving to Long Beach, I have never had to deal with the police as much as I do now -- and…read moreunfortunately, my experiences have left me feeling unsafe and unheard. I have a restraining order from Las Vegas, and after multiple violation reports (close to 12), I had to advocate for myself just to get a detective assigned. If I hadn't called to follow up, I never would have even had one. I've only spoken to the detective once, and while I understand restraining order violations can take time, the lack of communication and support has been discouraging. On another occasion, I was physically assaulted in broad daylight on Broadway and Hermosa while with my daughter. There were witnesses, video footage, and the man was arrested -- yet I've seen him twice since then. That experience left me shaken, and the fact that I've run into him again has only made me feel less safe. There is also a man downtown who frequently harasses people, including me. I witnessed him chasing people with scissors and threatening others. Despite being arrested, I've seen him several times since. When I called the police about him threatening me, the officer who responded (Officer Leraas) was dismissive, condescending, and made me feel like I was wasting his time. He even said, "I don't know why you call either," which made me feel even more unsafe. He also insinuated that I may have done something to deserve being assaulted, which was completely inappropriate and offensive -- no one deserves to be attacked, especially in front of their child. Even when I escalated my concerns to a sergeant, I was told that "both sides could have handled it better." But I am not the one in uniform, trained to deal with stressful situations -- the officers are. I expect professionalism, empathy, and at the very least, to feel that my concerns are being taken seriously. Instead, I feel like the LBPD does not prioritize public safety or the well-being of victims. It seems like crime is getting worse, and the way officers respond reflects poorly on the department. I understand they cannot always arrest someone on the spot, but they can absolutely make victims feel heard, respected, and protected. Sadly, that has not been my experience.
