On the 8th of August an incident that was very personal to me could have gone very badly for one of…read moreyoung ladies I was with. The ramifications could have been life changing in a negative way. The officers involved John Moos, Martin Siller, and Marcus Pope deserve recognition for the invaluable and professional way they handle the incident. Because one of the young ladies was in a blacked-out rage, due to alcohol, it was hard to see the respectful, kind, loving person she is. Like most of us she has her demons. That night they got the best of her. To the officers: Thank You!! The three of you were very kind and gentle with her. Despite her insulting violent behavior you showed amazing patience. Her behavior was arrest worthy but you chose to take her to Buckley in stead of jail. I feel like your supervisor, co workers, families, and the public should know about the outstanding job that night. It may have seemed like a routine call to you. Hell it may have been the easiest thing you did all night, but to me......it mattered. So once again with heartfelt appreciation... Thank You!!!!!

I'm giving 2 stars solely because the officer who came out to help me was genuinely kind,…read moreprofessional, and the only redeeming part of this experience. The front desk interaction, however, was shockingly unhelpful and honestly pretty condescending. The woman working there was unnecessarily rude and dismissive from the moment my mom tried to ask a simple question. Instead of offering any actual guidance, she acted irritated, gave us attitude for no reason, and basically told us we could be there for hours and to just "use a phone" because they weren't going to assist us at all, after we had already been waiting about an hour. It was a pretty basic request for information, not a difficult situation, which makes the attitude even more baffling. Thankfully, the officer who came out afterward completely changed the tone and was helpful and professional. But if the front desk is supposed to be the first impression of the municipal court, it's not a great one. A little basic courtesy would go a long way. Right now, it feels like you're an inconvenience just for walking in and needing help.

I'm giving four stars because of the food but I learned a little something sitting on the inside…read morelooking out. Coming from a guy who hasn't had a good track record dealing with authority my entire life there are those that I have to give credit where credit is due. I sat with some pretty colorful people in my short time there that had me sleeping with one eye open. I couldn't do what they do and keep a smile when I seen and heard the rage coming from all around, day in and day out. I had my moments as well but held it together without too much confrontation. These men and women who deal with not just the crazy but the insane deserve a level of respect that I don't think they receive as often as they should. We're all human and we all have a breaking point but it takes a special person to hold it together when it seems most of the people you deal with on a daily basis hate you. That's putting it lightly from my short experience there. It wasn't cool, at all. I hope I never have to go back but it was an eye opener. If I ever have to deal with an officer who seems cold and hollow I'll remember why and try not to be the reason and just be reasonable to the best of my ability. I might not love the police but I can respect them. Herding cats isn't easy. Jason Harju

Wow, I called the police out here about a month or so ago to report some additional damage that had…read morebeen done to my car. The officer that they sent out here a lady, asked me if I had any enemies and I told her about an incident that I had had at the senior living complex prior to moving to this location. She seemed to be more interested in that than she was the the additional damage that was done to my car. I asked her if she wanted to see the photographs of my car prior to the damage that I had been reporting, she said no. Spent quite a long time researching me, and left here without filing a report. I assume she was trying to protect the person I was having problems with prior to moving to this location. She seemed more interested in that person's reputation that my safety... UNBELIEVABLE. I no longer feel safe where I live.

The police spent SO MUCH time talking to me, understanding the situation, and making sure that EVERYONE was okay. In the end, they got me help while still being compassionate and attentive to my needs. I was impressed by their professionalism and compassion, and I was so grateful for their actions that night. And yes, they fully encouraged the use of Cahoots. I just wanted to post this because I feel like police get a lot of bad rep, but there are legit reasons for needing them. And Springfield (OR) police are some of the best! I want to show my support and maybe encourage others to see their positive attributes.

While driving in N. California on 101 just before the Oregon border, I encountered an intensely…read moreaggressive driver. So intense my 6 year-old twins were in hysterics, and I feared he'd run us off the road, as well as the car in front of me. The aggressive driver continued to weave, and accelerate to bumpers in between the other driver and myself. I get to Brookings, 30 minutes later, go 37 in the 35 mph zone and finally get some space between the driver and myself for the first time in the 30 minutes. This is where the Brookings police / Curry county sheriff's office came in. I saw them in my rear view mirror and was so relieved. Their lights came and I thought finally, someone was doing something to help us, and the frightening scenario was over... However, the officer continued and pulled behind my car pulling us over. The officer said someone had called me in as racing on 911! I said "with my 6-year-olds in the car?" and thought he had to be joking. He then proceeded through verbal aggression, to threaten me, say I'm "a danger to my children", and when I was so upset and shaken I couldn't find the car's registration and insurance right away, he continued the verbal aggression by insinuating it wasn't even my car, like insinuating I stole the car (it's my husband's). The officer had already looked up my info from my license and had to have seen my last name and address matched the owner, my husband. My kids were horrified I was going to be taken away, and I was horrified I was going to be taken away. This officer continued to intimidate me and threaten me, especially when I questioned the validity of the of the "racing" call, he told me I was being "irate" and demanded that I "needed to stop". It just so happened the aggressive driver I'd been fearing for the 30 minutes prior slowly pulled past me, as I sat on the side of the road with the officer. I think it was obviously the aggressive driver who made the "racing call". Halfway through the officer's intimidation's, my kids (one in actual shock the other in hysterics) in the back seats, asked the officer why he was doing this, instead of helping us. The officer said because "their mother put them in danger". Right from the start I asked the officer if he saw I have Zero speeding history... a question he ignored, but of course he saw when looking up my license. I would never race, let alone with my children. I am a 37-old-mother with no criminal history, no speeding record, and my own mother died in 1994 as the after effect of a drunk driving accident years earlier. In the 30 minutes or so, the officer mentioned I was driving a Tesla with a tone of disgust, literally at least half a dozen times. As if It was my driving a Tesla in the first place, as the reasoning behind the aggression. In the end the officer pointed out that the speed limit had changed from 35-25. He continued the threatening of me by saying again I was "endangering my children by going twice the speed limit" in doing so. I fully admitted i missed the speed limit changed for .4 miles of the change in town from 25 - 35. I tried to explain I was truly watching my speed and thought I was only going 2mph over the 35 speed limit. I was so focused on the real aggressive driver, I missed the brief change. Even so, the math of 37 being "twice the speed limit" as the officer accused me, doesn't add up either. All this officer wanted to do was bully and scare my children and I. I called the Sheriff's office, spoke with the sheriff himself a few days after the event. The Sheriff listened to the tapes and said the officer was in his right place, and refused to admit any wrong doing on the officer's part. The sheriff stated in a voicemail he left me: the reason my children were audibly upset in the taping was because I had been a reckless danger to them. I left it at that. I paid the ticket I had been issued, although I was told showing up in person and speaking to the judge would almost certainly resolve everything, in terms of the ticket I was issued. We frequent S. Oregon coast as well as the Northern Redwoods. We've stayed as a family in Brookings, we have friends there. We're currently looking to buy a home in between Bandon and Eureka. However, my kids had nightmares of this event with this aggressive officer for 6 months. The event happened in May. I still have PTSD over the event. I'm extremely scared to set foot in Brookings again. I truly feared the officer would throw me in jail, and take away my children 330 miles away from where we live in Portland, and during a pandemic. I also feared the officer physically hurting me. I am now scarred of Brookings, and want nothing to do with it, this town I've been visiting since childhood. The law there made me feel I was going to have my children taken away. When in the end, all the officer could throw at me along with the allegations of "endangering my children" was I went 37 in a 25mph zone.
