I've been a constituent of this station for a decade, with several interactions with them as resident of a fire zone. My most recent interaction was today when I called to report a dangerous incident involving a fellow community member. The desk deputy listened to the issue, knew my area, and helped me understand how to handle future incidences. He also reminded me of how to be a better community member just by his example of being concerned, supportive and objective. (I forgot his name, sorry! I keep thinking Petrillo, but that's just because I'm a Golden Girls nut) I'm giving 5 stars not just for today but over the years they've been good Judys to the my family and my community and I'm saying that as someone that's had a family member incarcerated at that station. read more

I just want to appreciate them again for helping me to call my brother in Spain. Thank you! Thank you! Mojgan. read more

I'm with everyone that believes the lack of leadership and respect this station has for residents in the area. I have dealt with them during the fires, shootings, trespassing, racing,... You go to the station & same as Jessie R shared- you stay there waiting for hours. You can hear them in the back. One time, I even wanted to take a video since one officer came out just to pick up her uber eats order and went back inside. If you keep reviewing the performance of this station...you certainly find more issues. It's very sad. https://thecurrentreport.com/mitrice-richardson-investigation-former-lost-hills-captain-who-hid-video-accused-of-sexual-assault/ read more

Lost Hills Sheriff Station - Shootings article - Police Departments Near Me - Calabasas, California

No wonder these people only have 3 stars who monitors and controls these Sheriffs up at Lost Hills? Had the single worst interaction with these guys yesterday. More embarrassing on their part if anything. I've been in Calabasas my whole life. Had a sheriff at the gas station off Lost Hills that was buying a drink, profile me, follow me out of the gas station, waited until I drove off and pulled me over immediately at the McDonald's. Now these guys are not dumb they do this for a living. They know when someone's impaired, nervous, or just has a real disability almost right away when they approach people. The deputy pulled up to my window, gun drawn, opens the door and pulls me out. Cuffs me, puts me in the back of the cop car and then resumes with 5 other deputies that showed to rip my van to pieces. As I watched shocked, with my wrists literally strangled by the cuffs for about an hr. I tryed several times to call out of the window so he could at least release the hold on the cuffs, at which no time did they pay attention. Which my wrists are still marked black and blue at this moment. They wanted so bad for me to be a criminal, have a warrant, or be DUI is was disgraceful they wouldn't let it go. 5 sheriffs on me for this. He said I was acting alittle unnerved, which caused him to believe I was DUI. Which i explained if u walk up to a car on a simple traffic stop with your gun drawn, I'm pretty sure anyone will give that reaction. He explained about the field sobriety tests, which I happily accepted and said I'd go even further. Let's just cut to the chase and give me the breath test. Which he said he had to conduct the field sobriety tests as protocol in order to get there.. Like I thought, I call their bluff they did nothing. I explained to him right off the bat forthcoming that my van hadn't been registered yet because it needed a lot of work which I recently had done, and was in the process of getting it smogged so I could complete it. Which he's more than welcome to tow if he likes. The law is a the law. I didn't beg him to not do anything. I accepted it. However, his only clear concern was to find out why I'd been arrested, 25 YRS AGO!!!!!!! And if I had any drugs or guns in the car. Whatever he could find to take me away to jail. I was never combative from the start. Did exactly as he requested because he had his gun drawn. I was never under the influence of anything. My license was clean. My record is clean. And nothing illegal was in my car. Like I told him. I wanted out of that cop car. No need to be in it in the first place. The cuffs were strangling me which left marks on my wrists, and literally had me convinced they were either planting drugs in my car or were going to find anything they could to take me away. They conducted NO tests other than a couple flashes of his flashlight in my eyes. Basically ransacked through me and my possessions and then left me there on the side of the road when they finally gave up & figured out they had nothing. If he thought I was DUI, then do the tests. If I fail THEN put me in the cop car. If I say no I'm sober but he strangles my wrists and throws me in the car anyway w/out any proof, that's a problem. If my registration is expired then give me the ticket or tow it. But what happened yesterday was something completely different. read more

I am stupefied. Sincerely,Lieutenant Reynaga, I am stupefied. The amount of miscommunication, lack of communication and outright failure of leadership in regard to ingress and egress of the residents of Monte Nido area during the Franklin Fire was so unbelievably upside-down that it almost feels intentional. If you actually made a show about it, it would have to be an SNL skit. These Sheriffs weren't in danger doing a hard job, they were sitting on their asses all day long playing half traffic cop. Our job was to get our kids to school, get to work, take care of our animals and elderly parents and be able to return home again. However in light of the stressful situation they could have been helped by the Sheriff's ORDERS made it exponentially worse. Many in our community were brought to tears as ANTI logic was applied to the road closures trying to get in and out of our homes in Monte Nido. Monte Nido was NEVER under a mandatory evacuation, that should be made clear. We went from seeing a RAGING fire from Piuma road on day one, a day when road closures could have made sense to have been closed, but the road was wide OPEN both ways into Monte Nido for everyone, residents and non residents both for the most part. BUT sometimes it was a rule to stop and give an ID, and other times it wasn't. Then Thursday rolled around. After 3 days the power came back on and the fire was largely contained, it was 45 degrees outside, there was almost no fire, it was effectively over. However this is where the logic, insanity, and ignorance of the government and Sheriff's that have no business running an ice cream shop really shines. I should attach the pictures I took. As I said, the fire was mostly out, there was no wind and the chinooks were handling the hot spots and it's 50 degrees, and less at night. However I took my kids to school like I did Tuesday and Wednesday at 8am and at 830am they would not let me make a right at Las Virginas which we all know who live here is BULLSHIT. There was no fire, no hotspots, no crews cutting lines, nothing, no emergency vehicles of any sort were anywhere on the road, and the best part, people were leaving and coming down the road like it was wide open? If it is so dangerous, why are people able to leave on that road? Why weren't they forced to leave the way people were entering through the backside? The reason? Whoever is making these decisions has absolutely no idea what they're doing, at all. So? I wasn't able to go home, get changed and drive to LA for a meeting in time, the back way is always open too, which makes zero sense, but it takes an extra 15 minutes which caused me to miss my meeting that cost me money. Later that day, Thursday the 12th of December, we left to pick up our kids at school and the Sheriff at Mulholland said that the closure had been lifted 25 minutes ago and we should be good to return. When we approached Lost Hills sheriff's a mile down the road the Sheriff there told me they still had a hard closure for everyone and we couldn't go back IF we came out. If we came out. LOL. The guy was actually super nice and as confused as I was. He informed me he received no such news 25 minutes earlier that anything was open and told us we could not return, that was about 230. He then said I don't know how good the information is but I am told at 5pm today we're leaving. So we left and decided to do X-Mas shopping and eat out to come back well after 5PM as we were told it would all be open then. We came back at 730PM and the most insane thing of the whole week happened. We got to Las Virginias and the sheriff was gone, so we made a right turn. We got to Mulholland, and the Sheriff was gone, so we continued on. When we got to Piuma to make a left we were flagged down by the sheriff with one eye. He asked us what we were doing. What are we doing? With my wife and two kids in the car? Well, we're going to loot of course, what does he mean? My wife pulled her ID and said we live here, our street is there pointing down Piuma to Crater Camp which you can basically see. He said nope, you can't enter. My wife almost started to cry, what do you mean, I have hot dinner and my kids in the car, I just need to drive there, you won't let me, "NO, I will arrest you in front of your kids". He said that. These people are Pieces of Shit. This whole thing showed us who the Sheriff really are, a bunch of low IQ morons. It was literally the blind leading the blind. I don't know who is responsible but you should make yourself known while you attempt an explanation for your inconsiderate and inept judgement calls. You have zero regard for people's children, aged parents, animals, taking kids to school, going to work to pay for it all? Did you think about any of that? No, you didn't, you didn't even think at all, you can't. You close and open roads like drunken pirates trying to walk a straight line, you are the terror in our hoods. read more

Amazing help from the two phenomenal officers on Sat night when our 18 month old grandson got locked inside the new VW SUV with no anti locking feature while key on front seat.

They deserve huge recognition for their phenomenal service Thank you again!! Rene' and family read more

Lost Hills Sheriff Station - Some bs - Police Departments Near Me - Calabasas, California

Really nice officers and they help schools like Lindero Canyon Middle School prepare for drills and all in all are an awesome station!

If I could leave negative stars I would. I came in asking what to do about my stolen plates and the woman in the office said it's not her jurisdiction and she doesn't have to answer my questions, and that I needed to go to the sheriff station in la to report since that is where somone who stole them was using them. I had to drive all the way to downtown la and the sheriffs there could not believe it, apologized for there incompetence. She didn't even let me file a police report which is why I went....." Fellow officers stood by and did nothing. Not suprised, let me remind you all this sheriff station was Found guilty for murder of a young female and had to pay a 9 million dollar settlement to the family. You can look it up on Google. Enough said clearly this place is BEYOND CORRUPT read more

Embarrassing, my whole family were in law enforcement, sheriffs in other states, my uncle, my dad, what a shit show now, asked for someone to come over, we were not taken seriously. read more

Many years ago my neighbor would not allow police on land to check a dirtbike trail. The cops were angry. They gave the guys wife a ticket out of revenge for doing 28 in a 25mph zone. We all believe this was a revenge ticket for a land owner exercising their constitutional rights. read more

Stay away at all costs. This sheriff's station is an embarrassment to law enforcement. No, I didn't get in trouble or cause trouble. My experience is that a majority of the sheriffs here are bullies. I have heard them tell a teen in trouble " I cant wait to come back and taser you." Where I grew up I had great respect for the police, not for this station though. Go anywhere else. They will make your life miserable. read more

I was being picked on by a motorcycle deputy for having a nice car 618146 is his employee number I was navigating on my phone he pulls me over then starts to look all over my car telling me cars loud when i just drove it off a dealership it's a performance car yes it's loud like a Lamborghini is then starts telling me stories of people reckless driving so I felt like I was to pay the price for these stories he gave me a really big nasty ticket after I was being very very respectful obeying the officer and I get treated the opposite not only that he told me to stay away from this area as if he owns it and threatening to arrest and impound my car if he saw me driving again I have a clean record and Iam a responsible driver clearly I wasn't speeding as it shows speed on ticket anyway I got major anxiety after he said that I have not been back in the area ever since I'm scared to go anywhere near the area I'm filing a complaint asap read more

Even 1 star needs to be deserved but this is not the case for this department. If you ever need any help from this place just find a way to resolve your problem on your own. "Serve and Protect" are just two words that do not reflect the work that the Lost Hills Sheriffs Department is supposed to do. But they can easily make your life miserable. I do not think they even read the reviews because they do not even care what people think about them, they are "above" community's opinion. Dear officer Adamson, you continue making my life stressful and miserable. Looks like you keep following me to write me another ticket (I have 5 already, 3 of them were issued for the last three weeks). You don't even give me enough time to fix the issue (no front license plate). I'd really appreciate if you would help me to make holes on my front bumper and put the front license plate that I carry in my car) or give me an advise where can I go either on Sunday or after 8 pm during weekday to fix the problem. Yes, I leave every morning at 6.30 am for work and I come back at 8 pm every single day except Sunday. And simply I don't know any places. I'm a mother who works very hard to survive in this country. read more

Lost Hills Sheriff Station - Ticket that had been issued on Mother's Day! Very nice gift - Police Departments Near Me - Calabasas, California

This is the worst police station ever. They don't do anything when you call them. So unprofessional and rude as well. I'd rather call the criminals than call the lost hills sheriff station. I'm so beyond disappointed. read more

Professional. Courteous. Quick to respond. Helpful. Whether to report a crime or to have them check out suspicious persons lurking about or loitering - they are quick to respond and show that they do care. They truly want to catch or prevent criminals who target stealing from cars, and although this has been reduced to a petty "slap on the wrist" crime, Lost Hills Sheriff show true interest in protecting the people in our community as they drive through our communities morning, day and night. They are A+ in my book and I appreciate all that they do. read more

Deputy G. Hoffman is amazing. He is reasonable and just with his decision making. In this hate filled world, this deputy's attitude alone allows us citizens to view law enforcement in a positive light. Also, he's so hot!!! He can pull me over any day. Thank you for your service to the community sir! read more

10/27/15 upon finding the fork, the purp threw at me approx. 70' from where he had thrown the plate, he's statement to deputy "do nothing" forbes was that he was startled to see me and threw the plate folk, n chicken somehow against all physics the plate thrown 1st at me, I moved so he broke the patio glass table approx. 15' away, the fork 45-50' away in a different area where I ducked to avoid being impaled, and chicken tossed above his head had actually reached orbit and didn't fall from space until the next day upon the trash in my patio where myself and two other deputies already had searched after the incident and the fork that I thought was a knife becuz of the dark handle and the shiny sharp end was discovered 45-50' in the direction where I ducked for cover and his intended target (me) after he missed me the first time. Having now found the fork and now very upset about the possibly tainted chicken that was left after the incident. deputy De Mateo knocked on our door and was so very rude by stating he did not care what I had to say and that he was only here as a courtesy to the purp whom wants this all to go away! No! You don't almost injure me with a plate, miss, then try again with a fork, then the next day, or sometime that night throw possibly tainted chicken in my patio knowing I have elderly dogs, that even spicy chicken would have gotten them sick and say, "I would like this all to go away" and call deputy De Mateo to serve your Message with not so much as an apology! This is a violent man I am living next to in my personal experience. Deputy De Mateo was as arrogant and ignorant as Deputy Forbes the night before. For the other deputies that assisted me, I thank you-perhaps anyone of you should have taken lead because these two deputies are a disgrace to any victim! After De Mateo laughed at me as he stood at my door stating he didn't want to hear what I had to say, I asked him what was so funny because we were not laughing, we are two women living next door to a maniac and now have to watch for the safety of our animals! I shouted this bullying is over as I am calling his Watch Commander! Then Dep clown De Mateo stated that we should get a restraining order on the guy next door as soon as one can! Oh, now you are trying to help?. I had to threaten to call the Watch Commander? I am not intimidated, Dep de mateo became visibly pissed then starts asking my friend and myself for our I.D's and names, I told him mine, and I asked my friend she wasn't under arrest and therefore does not have to give this dep de moron crap as he has made it clear and stated HE DOES NOT CARE what I have to say, I asked him for his card, he refused to give it to me, I asked dep de mateo for his name, he refused to answer, I had to read his name tag. dep. de mateo with two other deputies arrive for a non emergency reason to offer the purp advice. Dep de Mateo, you are too ignorant to give advice and it is not your job unless you take that undeserving uniform off and go to law school and actually work for a degree! I slammed the door as my demand for him to leave were ignored. Then I heard Dep de mateo talk with the purp nicely with such urgency in his voice to get a retraining order on us, "the victims!" I yelled out of my window and said to de mateo, good job deputy, you tell the bad guy to get a restraining order! What a stellar officer of the law you are! I then hear him say only becuz he was caught, "and I told her the same thing." Dep forbes n De Mateo need to be reassigned to parking meters. I called Watch Commander, Sgt. Covarrubis whom was a huge difference! And having his title is completely deserving as a man of great integrity and patience. He too thought it was odd that Dep de Mateo was out of line to respond to the neighbors house to give advice, this is not what they are to do and was not in his job description and to be left to the courts. SGT. COVRRUBIS sent two additional deputies to see me as the FORK was FOUND and a new piece evidence of possibly tainted chicken left after The incident and search from the original responding deputies whom searched 10-15' upon the trash and perimeter in attempt to locate the fork yielding negative results and yet appears the next day suspiciously and with concerns placed there to poison the family pets/or at least get them sick. All facts of the incident coincide with my report and I felt HEARD and not dismissed. I was welcomed to lodge complaints regarding the unprofessionalism and mistreatment by dep forbes, and de mateo for their unusual actions. Watch Commander, SGT. COVRRUBIS sent Dep. Koerner and Sgt. Rod Loughridge #443234 whom performed their jobs with professionalism, and walked every step with me with Pride, and were thorough in their investigation wanting to actually know what transpired. These officers of the law were exemplary and a role model of how others ought to perform. Additional charges of attempted battery were issued to the purp!!!!! read more

I've visited the station for several different reasons. I've brought in my expired prescriptions for disposal. I've stopped in when I was being followed by a lunatic and they did research on the vehicle's owner and set my mind at ease. I've brought them cookies as a holiday gift. Everyone I've spoken to is kind, helpful and courteous. I feel comfortable knowing these dedicated officers are watching out for our community. Especially the J team. Way to go!! And thank you for all you do. read more

I came here for fingerprinting - no I wasn't being booked! There are not too many places you can get fingerprinted by an actual law enforcement agency, so it's great that they offer this service. They're not a business, but I do wish they were a little more considerate. When I called to find out information, they were too bust to deal with me, which I didn't appreciate and was told to call back later. So I did and scheduled an appointment for the following week. Unfortunately for me, they only offer fingerprinting services during normal business hours, so if you're one of the rare people who work a typical 9-5 like me, you have to take off work to get this done. So I did. And I came to my appointment 5 minutes early. And the fingerprinter wasn't there. They had called out. So someone else could just do it right? No. Only the designated fingerprinter. It wouldn't be nearly as bad if I wasn't working or working and getting PTO. But I wasn't, which sucked. Then I had to reschedule for the following week. So I came back. Took more time off of work. And this time I had a completely different experience. Everyone was helpful and friendly. My prints came out really well and I didn't need them to be redone (which I hear is a common thing), and despite having 4 cards that needed to be done, it didn't take very long at all. Everything ended up being fine after all. Thanks Lost Hills! read more

Where to start...the "officers" are frighteningly uneducated in how to perform daily basic law-enforcement duties. They frequently violate basic procedures, and then try to double-back and cover their own mistakes. It is very disheartening and frightening to be aware of just how lackluster their performance and training really is (especially when you take into account the extremely small size of the department) and I hope improvements are made on the department's part to teach their so-called "officers" proper conduct and proper procedures. Mitrice Richardson is one clear example of how their incompetence has damaged the community. From personal and legal experience, I can tell you that the death of this woman was caused by the direct and blatant incompetence of the Lost Hills "Sheriff" Department. Either take the necessary steps to know how to conduct yourselves like actual law enforcement, or stop milking the city of calabasas for money and shut down all operations. THIS IS A MOM&POP OPERATION WITH GUNS. read more

Deputy Mejia was such a help regarding our issue. We need more deputies like him!!! He was very calm, and professional besides going above and beyond to help those who walk threw the door! Good job read more

They lost a star from my previous review, mainly because they no longer accept unused medications. A phone call revealed that "clinics used to put their meds in there instead of paying, and as a result, the public was finding the bin completely filled up." So now the DEA comes by every six months instead. Not great. Sigh. read more

This police station is very unprofessional. Someone hit my car and I called them. They said they would send someone out, I water 40 mins no one showed up. Called them again they said there were emergencies in front of me. Long story short nobody showed up to do a report. I seen multiple officers just driving around and sitting at the gas station but they were to busy to come help me. So the next day I go to the station to file the report. I sat in the front for an hour if not longer and no one came out to help me!!! How is this a police station I don't get it! What a joke! read more

Called for information about an expired tag ticket. The officer was friendly and helpful!

I have great concern about this station. There appears to be a lack of common sense, a lack of respect and a lack of regard for human life. I have had too many interactions with this department on behalf of my now deceased intern Mitrice Richardson who was released in the dead of night on September 17, 2009, while in an apparent mental health crisis. While the arresting officer Armando Louriero did admit in an email that he arrested her because he was concerned that she was acting "ditzy", he failed to refer her for a psychiatric evaluation. He and is fellow officers had her place her belongings in her car so when she was released she had no phone, no money and no car as it was at a tow station on PCH. How they expected that she would be able to get to her car in her mental state and on foot remains a mystery. What also remains a mystery is what the officer who followed after her when she was released? Why the detectives on the case removed her body against the orders of the coroner also remains a mystery? The pornographic mural which depicted images of a naked African American woman is a mystery? What is not a mystery is why this case is not solved.

The previous post was NOT posted by my wife or myself. We were living under hostile conditions while renting a room from what can only be described as some whacko. I never knew he would take it to this level. After giving notice to terminate our lease, we were met with lots of dissention, so we tried to stay elsewhere when we could. I had left pieces of paper lodged in door jambs, desk drawers and my computer. He went thru everything we had. Where I really screwed up was that I left all my "sign-in" and "password" list next to the computer. I have been told from friends about odd FB messages, E-Mails, and I also have stuff that is missing, etc. HE is the ONLY one who could have posted this crap. He knows the whole story. SO- Lost Hills Sheriff have been there to help us on several occasions, and as first responders and were vital to the situation. When we finally moved, the Sheriffs were there the whole time keeping the peace and for that we are grateful. The Landlord tried to get hostile on a prior visit and has gone out of his way to manufacture and manipulate people who are our friends and family who thankfully, did NOT buy into his BS. This dude is not playing with a full deck. I would publicize his name and location but our attorney has suggested that we do not. Thanks!

I went here to get a traffic collision report. The guy at the front desk told me if would take an hour- something that only takes 5 mins to print off per the lady in records. It did only take about 10 mins, however the guy was very rude inquiring why I was getting the report, and being rude about the details of the incident. He also decided to give me grief about how my license didn't reflect my new address- I just moved. I think their customer service needs to improve, while they also need to get rid of their egos when helping out citizens. Horrible experience. read more
