My husband and I were rolling into town, driving through late at night while traveling. Our muffler…read morefell off, leaving us stranded. My husband is disabled, and I don't have any idea how to repair this. My husband flagged down one of the patrol cars and they were happy to take the time and help us safely string our muffler back up until we could get to the shop in the morning. Cannot say enough how thankful we are for their help

A few weeks ago, I went to the police department to submit a public records request for some (BWC)…read moreBody Worn Camera footage which is considered a public record under the CA Public Records Act and was given extremely poor service by Officer Mora. .1 By law, you can request public records anonymously and at first she was trying to say that it's not true and was shaking her head back-and-forth. .2 by law, you can request a copy signed and dated of the public record request as a receipt to show that you submitted it and they literally had a giant stamp that they can date it right in front of her on the counter and she refused at first to give me the copy/receipt of my request and made a big issue about it until I requested a supervisor and then finally after 15 to 20 minutes minimum of waiting she finally came out with a copy for my record. go through all the hassle and make their department look bad and shine in a negative light. All she had to do was make me a single copy and stamp it??? If you're going to work for the public and get paid by tax dollars and be the point of contact at the department when a citizen goes in and seek services we expect a little more! Moving forward, they also denied me the public records. I was asking even though it's not part of an investigation. I mean the transparency, what are they hiding or ashamed of that they were saying behind closed doors??? The people are watching and expect you to do better and hold the PD to higher standards!!!

Love coming to the city of Monterey to change the scenery from the every day hustle and bustle…read more There's so much to do here from Visiting Cannery Row and it's shops and restaurants. There's Dennis the Menace Park for your little ones or you can paddle around the lake on a swan. If you're a seafood lover, the Monterey Fish House is a popular choice for lunch or dinner. Reservations are recommended if you don't want a long wait. If you have a sweet tooth, there's a Ghirardelli candy store and you can try one of their famous milkshakes. If you'd like thrift shopping and finding antiques and treasures, make sure not to miss their antique stores throughout the city Driving around 17 mile drive is also a good choice for a relaxing drive along the coast.

These guys are amazing. It's obvious they handle emergencies and fires but we witnessed them in…read moreBreakwater Cove handling a sea lion over-run. We love sea lions but they can be very dangerous to boats as they can easily sink a boat based on their size. The fire boat had a sea lion who took residency during one of our sea lion over-runs and the guys did a marvelous job not only getting the sea lion to move but also making sure that boats close to theirs were free of the sea lions. They did it humanely and with professionalism. These guys handle all kinds of incidents and are to be commended. By the way, we always notice their responsiveness is consistently ahead of the Coast Guard during emergency calls. Monterey Fire Department is incredibly responsive. The sea lion incident shows another side of their job. Very impressive!!

This is obviously not a tourist location, but we stumbled upon it as we were taking a walk one…read moreevening and it's a nice area close to San Carlos Beach and we got to see upclose a bunch (a lot!) of seals and sea lions as they settle in/rest/whatever their routine is for the night. They made a lot of noises "talking" to each other and swimming around close to shore, and moving around and jostling for the few places to "dock" themselves on the pier. It was very interesting and fun to watch. The USCG station obviously isn't about that, so there are a lot of large boats and other seafaring vehicles, but I don't know much about them, but they were all quite impressive. Not the cleanest pier, and definitely some interesting individuals in the evening, so wouldn't go after dark (and no reason to), but overall, it's a great looking facility and we enjoyed our walk.
