I like to give credit where it's due. Although most police officers in the City of Philadelphia…read morehave a lot to be desired, I had a recent encounter with one of Philly's Finest. I was in line to make a turn from Winter Street in Chinatown onto 11th traveling north. Traffic was jammed, and when I finally caught a chance to turn, I probably followed the car in front of me without a proper full stop. Then I crossed Vine St Expressway as quickly as possible. I police car that was sitting on the side immediately followed me and with lights on. I pulled over and Officer Wang came to my window. I already had my license, insurance and registration in hand. He was MORE than courteous and explained to me what he witnessed. He could have given me a substantial ticket, which really would have ruined my day and cost me a fortune, but he was KIND enough to let me go with a strong verbal warning. He wished me a good day and left. If every police officer acted like this towards the public, we'd all be living in a much, much better place. Kudos to Officer Wang from the 6th District. Professional, courteous and kind.

On Tuesday April 14th, 2026, there was a troubled (or homeless) man at William McKinley elementary…read moreschool 2101 N Orkney St. who had a dog come into the garden of the school. He was told the dog couldn't be there so he began to curse and insult everyone, and they had to call the police. For about 20 minutes they tried to lure the dog (who appeared to be friendly) to their car. There were 3 police cars at the scene (There's a "Citizen" app video that was taken by me). They tried lassoing some sort of rope around his neck to use as a leash, but they failed. I'll soon be moving so I have several pet crates for my animals when I do. As I kept watching, I realized that ACCT Philly weren't going to be there soon enough, while the situation kept getting more and more tense by the minute. So I went to my home across the street, got the biggest cage I owned and brought it to the police to grab the dog. I'll be as honest as I can be, most people didn't think I was an innocent bystander, they assumed I had something to do with the guy. They acted like the cage somehow showed up out of nowhere, not even a "thank you". Yes you read that right. They didn't ask me if I wanted my cage back. Must've thought I have load of things to hand out. But the worse part about it is that the McKinley school principal was there, the vice-principal also and they DID NOT acknowledge me or thank me either. For these people, it was business as usual. This is what our world is coming to. I solved a situation for dozens of people whose work was halted for. I did it because if that dog had bitten someone, the first thing police will do is SHOOT. There were children in that school. Someone could've gotten hurt. I'm sure that the homeless man got helped, the dog was rescued and here I am without a cage now I need to buy a replacement. I feel like I was totally invisible and completely disacknowledged. I called the police 26th precinct and they had no knowledge of the incident. Guy tells me "I'm certain your cage wasn't used to get this dog". I was appalled!! I put the cage there and the police took it and the dog was led into it. Eventually the guy said "ok, well... it must be at ACCT Philly". I had to call animal control to see if my dog-cage is there. They left me on hold forever and I need to call again tomorrow I feel I was robbed of a dog cage that costs $80! This is what the police has come to.

To all- My son (8) and myself ( single mother), have been in the community of Abington for 4 years…read morecoming from Texas. we love the area. Recently, in the last year or so my son has told me about a cop friend of his, Officer Dan P. (Will not say his last name fo obvious reasons). i asked him how he knows this officer and he told me that the officer has on several occasions given him a "cool kid patrol ride" after his school activities, typically him and friends play at the park until 630 or so (short distance from the house). Recently his behavior has been reclusive and tempered, when confronted stated "Officer Dan is not who I thought he was, and he no longer thinks of him as a hero as Dan would call himself.

The policeman ( I apologize as I did not catch his name as I was in distress) promptly came to my home get the report. The police department is doing a great job and even giving away free faraday bags to protect car keys to combat the national theft problem. I owe them food, drinks & more :). Crime is decreasing, and we are tackling the drug problem and addicts- most need some form of housing to get them off the street and like NYC we need clean up crews to clean the entire city and also need more garbage cans so people do not pollute. The mayor should address these issues and this will continue to keep Philadelphia in the rising real estate and city range.

They hold you off just because they're cops and are expected not to be liked. After calling them to report a stolen phone, they told me to call 911. I called and was told an officer would call me back. 20 minutes go by with no call back and I call 911. They tell me I have to wait longer than that and they cant tell me how long it will take. Immediately after I get a phone call. They tell me to come down to the station because it's not an emergency. But y'all told me to call 911? I go to the district and they of course don't help. About a week ago, a woman screaming on 16th street was reported to the district. Police responded (probably an hour later) to a sound block and no signs of suspicion. The next day, it was found out she was killed on that very same block the call was made. Whatever your situation is, these cops won't take you seriously. You're better off handling the issue yourself. Don't rely on them even as you take your last breathes.

And the apartment he was trying to break into had a young girl by herself home alone. They were completely incompetent and gaslighting saying, "what do you want us to do? He didn't break in?" Maybe get off your lazy ass and go talk to him! Not only were they completely dismissive but so was their Sergeant. We pay WAY too much in taxes to have such a shifty police department! We also have a tenant that was drunk driving and they let him pull into our building and let him off. What!?!?! Who does that! He could kill someone!!!! And then when a tenant was passed out and urinating in our laundry room, they came and took her word for it: "she messed up her meds." This woman clearly has a history of substance use and needs help! Not to be enabled, which they're too lazy to do their job, they let anyone off. It's going to take a major catastrophe or law suit for these idiots to get it together. They are terrible!

Man how I don't miss Havertown's finest, nor the meter checkers( Rent-a-Cop). Now I am not saying…read moreALL of them are shysters but they do have some out there looking to hit a said quota. That or they are just flat out lazy to do their job right. I had just gotten a ticket in the municipal lot located next to Hoopty's Pizza claiming I had an expired meter. Now first off there are no longer meters in this lot, along with a majority of lots in the Havertown area. What there is now is a kiosk located at every entry point where you pay there. The way this works is , in case you don't know, once you find an available spot there is a number associated to that spot. This is your spot you are paying for at the kiosk, after you pay they issue you a receipt with the allotted time you have. Final step is to place said receipt, (a proof of payment) on your dashboard in plain view. Step 1: check , my number is 46 Step 2: check, $.25 cents for a half hour. (checked in at 8:47 am, expires 9:17 am) Step 3: check , placed in plain view showing payment. Now I was pretty hot about this , I had to take pictures of this . Now the first is Evidence A, and second is Evidence B. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I give you - Evidence A: What we have here is a ticket issued to me showing a Parking Meter violation at 9:09 am. Evidence B: The lazy attendant that can't see, or read showing I was well in the time frame of legal parking. I presented this to Officer Hagan (Havertown's finest) to handle. He did , he also apologized for the lack of effort put forth by the meter attendant. I found some kind of pleasure in making him STOP what he was doing , get him out of his rhythm , just for someone else error. Solid 2, until they invade Wawa and hang out by the coffee stations.
