take far too long to respond to issues…read more Twice I have had to report an incident - separate issues. Location of incident is no more than 10mins down the road (in Alexandria) After waiting 3hrs, I drove up to the Station myself as after calling several times to find out when someone would come to the address - could not get a response. When I went into the station, they were NOT busy !! Another incident when they attended a situation of robery in the street, where contents were left all over the street, I called the office to our place over the road where a bike and other items were dumped at our driveway. He seemed very uninterested in having to take a look and just said, does not look like stolen items !!! I knocked on doors myself as I knew of some homes where they had kept bikes on their porch, and it did belong to one of those people !!! Had the officer done his job as he should have, and when those people had called about their stolen bike, he should have told them about the bike I alerted him to ! When these people called the station, they said nothing of it to them, just took their report. BAD FORM - Redfern Police Station Really BAD FORM !!!

I used to live in Redfern from 2019-2020 at Iglu Student Accommodation which is just besides this…read morepolice station. During my tenancy at Iglu, I faced numerous threats made by residents who use drugs, physical threats towards me captured on CCTV, as well as assaulted me on 16 December 2019 by throwing burning cigarettes and touching me. I approached the police officers working in this "police station" on numerous occasions then to request for help and to get an AVO, and was refused point blank to file a complaint or be given any assistance. The police even lied to me that they don't issue AVO's from this particular station - which is nonsense! One of the officers even said "so what, many people do drugs in Australia, it is not a big deal!". Iglu's management even showed copies of my passport through a RA's phone to one of the residents threatening me, and the police were less than helpful even then. I would also like to mention how Iglu's management tried to scam me of my bond money and deleted footage of the assault on me to cover up evidence, and my doubts are true that the cops at this station get some form of benefit from Iglu's rotten management to turn a blind eye to their malpractices. I do not recommend this police station to anyone as the officers working here are corrupted, lacking in morals and are basically wasting taxpayer money by sleeping on their job. They are more interested in other practices, rather than their job duty of protecting vulnerable people and the public at large. Don't hesitate to report their misconduct to the ICAC if you felt that they are abusing their power and lying, as such police officers contribute nothing but bad morale and repute to our country and society! Although it has taken me over 2 years to put down this review, I hope those reading this know that the cops working at Redfern Police Station care a damn about their job and will never help you even if you are in the worst of situations!
