I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and moved to the Salinas area a few years back. Reading the…read morereviews for the Salinas PD really surprised me. If you think these posts are depiction of a poor force, you need to travel more and experience what other communities and countries endure. The PD is poor because you called in a loud music complaint - (probably one of many they receive nightly). And you can't provide an address, really?Right there, bottom of the list. My guess is if it was that important you could have figured it out. The PD wasn't there to stop a motorist from running down a pedestrian? Guess what... happens everyday in the Bay Area and PD can't be everywhere all the time. Yes, I agree traffic enforcement needs to be stepped up but more importantly, people need to take responsibility for their actions which includes being aware of what's around them. Put down your cellphone, put your make-up on at home, leave the burger in the bag till you stop the car. Distractions feed the problem. In closing I'll offer, what prompted me to visit this Yelp page was an experience I had last evening while out with friends. We were in a local pub and in walks 4 Salinas PD officers. Of course the mood was silenced as most people looked. Turns out they weren't there for a problem, they were there to be visible and prevent any potential problem. They worked their way through the crowd, stopping to talk to people, shaking hands, then they walked out. It was a good thing and I believe most people in the pub that evening would agree with me.

They found the person up the street outside their vehicle and gave them a sobriety test. Wrote them a ticket for DUI hitting hydrant and leaving. And release to someone there on scene.

Is there anyone interested in suing the County of Monterey Tax Division/Traffic court?…read more I was hit with a $300 civil assessment penalty for not paying on time after I was hit with a speeding ticket by a fill in commissioner and lying cop named Officer Crouch. I tried to pay this ticket every week and as soon as it hit to 30 days late they sent me a letter. It seems the County or Monterey is in a massive money grab. I know I am not the only one out there. Also, my account manager hung up on me because I asked to speak with a supervisor. I would rather get an attorney than pay these people for trying to get money out of the public.

We keep getting calls from the number 831-755-5000 asking us to call back at 831-755-5042. A…read morewoman's voice says they have information for us and ask for us to call them back. Then the message is repeated in Spanish. She never addresses us by name and it is hard to understand her. I believe this may be a "spoofed" number, meaning that although the Caller ID number is indeed the number for the Revenue Division for Monterey County, I doubt that the caller is actually calling from there. I hope the county will look into this as we've been getting these calls for over a year.
