Apparently in Glendora, being out after 11pm is enough to earn yourself a personal escort. Nothing…read moresays "law enforcement" like a patrol car exceeding the speed limit to catch up to you only for them to stay glued to your rear bumper, flooding your mirrors with headlights and tailgating so aggressively that one wrong move could cause an accident or for them to have an excuse to pull you over. I wasn't speeding. I wasn't driving recklessly. I wasn't doing anything suspicious. Yet the goal seemed obvious! Apply pressure, create anxiety, and hope for a mistake. Maybe that's considered policing these days. To me it looked a lot more like intimidation than public safety.

If i could give this place zero stars l, i would. An inmate tries to call me. I get prompted to add…read morecredit card information for 10+ minutes. Nothing is connected. I hang up. I then call Glendora police Department, they route my call to the "jail" section. It rings for 5 minutes, no one picks up. I call back, let the officer know what's going on, he tries to connect me again, and also says they don't ask for credit card information via phone, wtf? I call back and say, "Can you at least transfer a message that i am trying to get a hold of someone?" They say, "No, we are not allowed to do that." I say, "how else can i get a hold of them? Can i just come down and see them?" They say, "Yes." I drive down there, then they tell me i can't see them, that the "jailor" is on the way to the courthouse, and it will be another hour and a half. At this point, i am wondering what part of The Matrix i am in. Literally, a whole bunch of officers, but absolutely no what to communicate. I am not sure if this is an idsue with every police department or just this one. I feel terrified that we have these people running things and "serving or protecting" anything. I am truly baffled and feel bad this is where all the tax dollars go. On top of all this, i say that the inmate needs medication, which i have. Shouldn't you at least check on that? Maybe they need it. Their response was, "we check every hour on them." Good lord. God forbid someone dies in their custody needing medication, which could be easily provided by someone who knows them more than they know their job. God save us all...awful.

The security really doesn't do their job, pure laziness but despite that Noemi Ramos did her job with pride and pure profession. I'm here today making this review because I feel she does her job with respect and out of everything I have went through in my life I really appreciate her and what she does. Working for the county is not just about processing people through, with Noemi I really felt like she cared about my future and I cannot thank her enough for simply being kind, professional and non-judgmental. Thank you and thank you for all the services you provide here within these offices. Some of us really do care about our lives and our future and from the bottom of my heart appreciate Noemis kindness and professionalism. Happy Holidays!

I first contacted the fire department to inquire and they said I could take up to 10 bags. Upon arrival nobody was around except a shovel and bags on the side for me to shovel what I needed.

I said I have paperwork from the DMV and she didn't believe me, and wouldn't ask about the paperwork; I need the inspection first to get my DMV documents. I asked if I have my paperwork then what; she says "we need an appointment, it can be 3 weeks out." I said "let me schedule an appointment." She says "not without your paperwork." This is already a long process and I can't schedule an appointment 3 weeks out. So it's impossible to get anything done. I said "I'll figure it out then, thanks.." and she hung up on me without a goodbye. Terrible service.

I went here a few weekends ago for a pancake breakfast at the Sierra Madre Fire Department. It was…read moreso lovely. All the firemen were so nice. You could view the trucks and the children could take photos inside the cab of the truck. It really was cool! They even had balloon animals for the children. My family and I went together, we were greeted by several people while handing out tickets to them. Then you proceed to the food line! We received some monster sized pancakes and sausage. All VERY delicious. Everyone sat inside the pristine garage where the trucks/engine are kept. Several of the Captains were present at the pancake breakfast. Which was really cool! So everyone could meet the Captains, the Engineers, the Firemen, and the Medics that work with them as well. If you ever get the chance to stop by at an event they are having, I highly suggest doing that! They are all very nice and welcoming.

We saw the fireman from unit 41 climb the steep trail later we saw search and rescue both teams like it was nothing. I should say now that I am terrified of heights and this was my first time on this trail with my boyfriend and our two dogs. (Not involved in the dog bite incident). On our way down I was paralyzed by fear. This is no joke at this elevation. I was panicking and crying but trying my best to forge on because I knew if I didn't keep going I would be stuck there for hours. We see a helicopter leave and a minute later we see them decending behind us. We try to let them pass and they ask me if im okay. I tell them I'm scared but I'm ok physically. They offer to walk down next to me and I grab the chance without hesitation. They took their time walking next to me and making me feel at ease. I was in full panic and anxiety attack mode but with the help of my amazing bf who never left my side and these dedicated and compassionate men who took time out of their day we made it down the trail safe. I have the utmost respect and gratitude beyond measure for their help in immediately creating a shield of the edge and blocking my view of the steep drop down. Advising me on how to properly manage the terrain and calming me down with small jokes along the way. Their patience is outmatched and the call was above and beyond their duty. I cant say I will ever hike that trail again but I have a newfound appreciation for the men and women of service who are dedicated diligent kind compassionate and empathetic. My hats are off to you guys!! If my memory serves me right especially to Diaz Turner and Arroyo sorry if I got it wrong but you guys are epic!!! Thank you for assisting this "timid" hiker the nicest way of saying terrified and panicked beyond belief. Lol
