My father also called them regarding stolen clothes and a 2m HAM radio. The radio was recovered, but I wished they had investigated my house and circumstances more thoroughly. I once got a speeding ticket for 56 in a 30. I wrote elsewhere about that being a flagrantly inaccurate accusation. I also got charged with a peeping tom charge that I didnt commit. I have written about this elsewhere. My Dad, grandfather, and uncle on my mom's side were members of the military. The police aren't the nicest people in my opionion.

What a bummer, right? That's what I thought, but no way! I'd stop by here anytime. Vickie & Kathy are so pleasant, really helpful and your "go to" for just about everything!

It's clear users are using this specific location to generalize a review of the Plano PD as a…read morewhole. And while I don't want to trivialize other users' experiences, I also take it with a grain of salt because it's one perspective without giving opportunity for other side to give their take on the situation. Plano PD can only do the things within the confines of what they're able to enforce. Many times they go above and beyond but don't presume that should be the expectation. So when another reviewer says that Plano PD couldn't do anything for their situation with uncle, it's probably the system that's tied their hands. They can't enforce a law that's not there so you're expecting something that's not for the police to handle. Then with another reviewer's situation with being blocked. Sorry but enforcement of violations trumps inconveniencing you. Also, for the family member with mental illness. You don't wait till it gets to that point and expect the police to know and fix your problems in a volatile situation. Need to be proactive especially if it's someone you supposedly care about. Don't rely on others to put in the work. Generally I will say Plano PD has been great. I see way too many infractions that I care to count though that would've been nice if the police would've caught. I wonder if I have video evidence of these infractions if the police can do anything about it after the fact but I guess that's a slippery slope of law enforcement. Still, it's quite annoying when people cut me off countless times and that in and of itself is frustrating but at least use their blinker when changing lanes!

The Plano Police Department deserves a zero rating! They're a joke! My family and I went to Plano…read morePolice Department in 2020 to file a case against my uncle for harassment and threats. The plano police department claimed that my uncle did not threaten us and did not harrass us even though I provided evidence that he called us multiple times and left multiple voicemails. I also played a voice recording of my uncle making death threats, but the police department didn't take it seriously. The Plano Police Department should be sued and reason why the department didn't take our case seriously because of our race. Let's be real here!

Your alleyway can be blocked by whoever and nobody enforces that. They replaced some of the main water lines which screwed up everyone's property main lines which forced everyone to spend 20k to replace their pipe. The construction is just STUPID!!!

I must admit,I understand why people want to move to Allen. Its managed well, with thoughtful…read moreadministration and a conservative approach to government. I paid just enough attention in civics class to pass the test. Im only half way kidding. I do know the rudiments of city,county,state and federal government. However, I haven't been as involved in local government during my life, as I probably should have been. Do you know how and why your city government works the way it does? The reason I attended tonight's city council meeting was to monitor the activity surrounding a bond issuance approved by voters in 2016! Now, you would think if the bond was approved that long ago, those items would be complete or well on the way. Not! I think you will be surprised how these things work if you look into it. I encourage everyone to be more active locally. That's where the rubber meets the road and I personally think the local governmental activity is going to be more important going forward than ever. After a citizen blitz of support activity over the last few months, the council unanimously passed a resolution to issue the bonds from the 2016s election. This included money to expand the library, road improvements,acquisition of more park land and building of fire house #6. yea! Again, I'm very surprised how this worked. In addition, the mayor issued many proclamations including, welcoming other cultures to our area and urging citizen participation. Recognition of the 13th consecutive Allen High School wrestling team State Championship! How do you do that? One of the most significant and touching moments was the recognition of a 911 dispatcher who had previously been commendated for saving a life over the phone in 2018. Last night she was recognized for saving a life on her way home after her shift ended. Wow! Ovrall I was impressed with the performance of the Mayor and City Of Allen Elected Council,the full house attendance of Allen Citizens and the spriti of community present. If you havent been involved,observed or even know about your lovcal government,there is no time like the present to... Go!!!!

Collin county is using the new electronic voting machines. You still need to have a photo ID regardless of whether you have your voting card with you. The new voting machines allow you to do a "do over" if you don't like the way your initial picks print out. I'm told you get up to 3 re-do's. I did not test this option since I got it correct the first time through. No hanging chads on this peice of paper! After printing your ballot you walk over to a second machine for your actual choices to be counted. A locked safe connected to the machine stores the paper ballots, which can be used later for audits and recounts. Regardless of how you vote, please vote so you can be heard! Otherwise, don't complain. Early voting is February 18-28! 7/2020
