I pulled over safely and I had my driver's license ready but my insurance and registration were on the back of the plate because I am a car dealer. Sergeant Macdonald was very respectful and thorough with her inspection of my vehicle and credentials. The reason why I went out of my way to write this review is that I feel like police officers in general probably don't get recognition by the public. I want Sergeant Macdonald and her department to know she is doing a great job!

The other told me that basically they did not want to transport me to the hospital via the ambulance because they thought it was a waste of their time. After my pain did not let up, I got in my car and painstakingly drove myself to the hospital. There, the doctor informed me that my gallbladder was infected and I needed to undergo surgery asap. Driving myself to the hospital endangered me as well as every other driver on the road. Moreover, had I listened to the so-called "professional" paramedics, I would not have gone to the hospital and might have suffered serious damage, even death. I called to complain, and the paramedics' supervisor heard me out. I appreciate that, but he seemed more concerned that the paramedics did not follow procedure and administer a field EKG than that the [white, male] paramedics blatantly disrespected me. I will never use this service again, nor recommend it to anyone I care for. Moreover, I very much hope that they clean up their sexist act. Hey guys, guess what? Sometimes women actually have real problems. This is why people, particularly women, die of completely preventable causes--the medical pseudo-professionals we rely on for our care refuse to take us seriously.

In my case, at the end of a very long week I loaded up the car with documents looking forward to a weekend with my husband and travel to a wedding. Opps! I failed to lock the front door. OMG! The patrol officer(s) noticed the "lights were on but no one was here". They "held the fort" for four (4) hours. WOW! Who does that? No one anymore, unless you are in a town where everyone cares. Thank you, Paula Grohs.

I walked in and security advise me what to do. Empty everything in a bucket and walk through the metal detector. The police officer was nice and told me where to go. The lady at the first window helped me. I forgot her name but she was amazing. Answered all my questions and provided the clarification I needed. The only thing sucks is I have to wait maybe a month or two until I receive the ticket to even do anything about it. Other than that, hopefully I'll never have to come here again, lol.

This review is purely for the paramedics/EMT's and ambulance if you live in the city of El Cerrito,…read moreit is NOT about the firefighters. El Cerrito residents: As of 2023, if you call an ambulance and ask to be taken to ANY other hospital except Alta Bates in Berkeley or Richmond Kaiser, you will be REFUSED! El Cerrito ambulances will NO LONGER bring you to the County hospital in Martinez or John Muir in Walnut Creek, even though it's in our County! Even if your health insurance ONLY covers John Muir, the ambulance staff does not care and will NOT take you. And they will CHARGE YOU JUST FOR COMING, EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE. Even if no blood pressure, no nothing, you will receive a bill for $550 and change. How come they don't charge old people for getting them off the floor, but charge a younger disabled (paralyzed limb) person for walking into your bedroom? Plus they treat you like some kind of criminal. And they love making inappropriate comments to women. Questionable billing practices: they sent me only one bill. I called the billing department and explained I was charged even though no services were performed. The billing lady was shocked and I assumed she took care of it. Then, A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, I get a bill from a collections agency. No second bill or warning or anything. Other Yelpers are reporting the same thing. If you're on Medicare, remember Medicare WILL NOT pay for an ambulance unless you're taken to the hospital. So, I guess the EC Fire Department wants to make their money and if you don't go to the hospital they know Medicare won't pay so they charge you, a sick and disabled person. I wonder how much more it would have been if I had let them force me into an EKG, even though my problem had nothing to do with the heart? Up-selling at its finest! SHAME on the CCC Fire Dept administrators! Praise for the ACTUAL firefighters risking their lives.
