The officers at the station kept giving me the same excuse over, and over again. Didn't even bother asking for a picture of my son. At least 4 times I was told it was because of his age. It really irritates me to the very core that this department hasn't yet been reported for poor conduct. So it's safe to say my next move will be to ontact the news.

Thank you for keeping our community safe. This is a…read moreretraction to the previous review I have left under the profile with my legal name. I could not log in with that same account so I am creating this one link to my Facebook page. There were some details left out when I had contacted the police about my situation and I think it was some confusion as to why charges were not pressed yet on a take case. As far as any officer that was incompetent, he where dealt with by protocol and are no longer on the force. All the officers this community are good people and deserve respect. With this retraction I leave on this note, apologize to the Crawford police department for the 1 star review I had left & cannot seem to log in to take down. I felt like I had been done wrong. But in all honesty they are good people and doing your duty just as they are supposed to. God Bless & be safe out there

I used to feel safe when I first moved to this town. But not anymore. On more than one occasion…read morethey have proven to be incompetent officers on duty. For instance I was being harassed by my abusive ex husband, and they would not do anything to help me. I ended up having to go through a district attorney to get a protective order. On another occasion I was raped in my own home and I'm sharing this with you because I want you to know how serious this was. After having a rape kit done and going through a lot of emotional trauma and physical pain I got brave enough to try and face what happened. Only about two days after the incident occurred and was told by Officer Brian Porter that the evidence would deteriorate and wouldn't be any good. Even though it is protected somewhere safe under lock and key and is good for 2 years. He's very cold about what happened towards me and basically treated me like I wasn't being honest about what happened. He basically said it was too late. When the statute of limitations on rape is 10 years,Now I don't feel comfortable coming forward about what happened and don't feel like the authorities can keep me safe or take me seriously! This is also a police department that hired a child molester as a police officer and was later let go from the force when it blew out of the water all over the news. It's really pathetic. On another occasion I had called about screaming intoxicated teenagers in the parking lot vandalizing the apartment in my neighborhood on a Saturday night and didn't even have anyone on duty in town to come take care of the incident. Another police officer from the surrounding community had to come out and it took at least an hour before him to get there. By the time he did they had already left. This is a perfect example of abuse of authority. Whatever happened to protect and serve?? It is truly sad and truly sickening. Disgusting display of public service. Once I even had a panic attack on another occasion and chief clay Bruton/Bruten (whatever) arrived on the scene and proceeded to scream in my face when I was trying to calm down from my panic attack. I have a serious panic disorder. It's not right for police officers to harass citizens. In my opinion the county needs to launch a full investigation on these people and possibly even replace them. There are too many things they have done that is really unsettling.

Before they got a warrant to enter my home, they came in with me so i could finally pee (they had keot me detained in the sun on my porch) and many of them (not just the two we had agreed upon) followed me into my house (with no warrant yet), and when i said the rest needed to leave bc they had no warrant one of them grabbed my arm and assaulted me in my hallway. So, for calling about a simple verbal argument my bf is now in jail, my house is torn apart, i was in the heat for hours, and i have a sore arm from physical abuse. Ill file a complaint but it wont go anywhere and Ill move away bc we have no rights here!!!! Im also gunna try to sue bc my rights were BLATANTLY violated.

Not community oriented and impossible to get thru to anyone.

They all displayed a genuine concern for the public's safety and welfare. This was my first ride-along with the KPD, but in past years have observed the L.A.

At least he didn't pull a gun & shoot me. I called 911 & reported it (AFTER seeing a SMALL sign saying not to pay anyone saying they were a lot attendant but if you did call 911). The 911 Operator could've been friendlier but no biggie. I really didn't expect a officer to come out but with-in 15mins or so one did (WOW!!). I'm sorry I forgot her name but she was very friendly. She said she had looked for the guy on the way in that she'd been trying to catch him for the past few weeks. She said she'd keep looking in the area for him. I couldn't find a email address on their website so I came here. Thanks to the officer for being so professional!!!!!

I don't see how some Ppl are even allowed to be cops.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation,…read moreconceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate--we can not consecrate--we can not hallow--this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. -Abraham Lincoln - Itasca Police Department

We tried to clean up the best we could, but Kip's overnight bag was stolen by a lot lizard at the Texaco, so he had to wear my Calvin Klein's, three sizes too small the rest of the way home. Freckles was drenched in #2, so we stuck her in back in her cage, where she immediately set to screaming for the rest of the ride. It was under these circumstances, Kip trying not to barf because he is sensitive to smells, that we had to drive the last one hundred fifty miles. We got pulled over in Itasca, and the cop gave us a ticket for going 8 over. Sorry I was a little heavy on the gas, officer. I didn't want my hubby back to rehab with another bout with bulimia onset by puking his guts over I-35. Thanks for the empathy. I hope Itasca got a new dirt road with my money.
