This review is the opinion of the writer about the experiences he had with a Sheriff Detective John K. Kau in 2010 and 2011. My son became a opiate addict because of back problems and it escalated to actions that caused the breakup of his relationship with a woman who had filed for a Civil Harassment Restraining Order against him , my son filed a competing request for order. Enter Det. Kau, who as we neared the Trial Date, we found that the Girlfriends ex husband would testify against her describing actions by her that would exculpate my son. The ex girlfriend found out he was going to testify and made threats to him that made him NOT testify. Without detailing the law regarding this criminal action by the girlfriend, Kau was advised of these actions and DISREGARDED probative evidence of this attempt to prevent a witness from testifying . This was the 1st of many such actions by this Detective who all along made poor illegal decisions about my son and his actions, simply stated he was the opponent all along, of myself and my family. My son was accused of stealing two pistols from his grandfather. Kau solicited the help of Soto, a nickel relative and the two tried to convict my son of Burglary. Soto would follow my son around stalking him and finally stalking my home in Carmichael and report to Kau the whereabouts of my son . This incompetent and I refer to both parties above; harassed , behavior that serves no useful purpose. The Detective had the authority to act, and the complaint against him are a matter of law the other is a matter of vigilante justice supported by Kau. A Civil Harassment Restraining order hearing was filed against Soto for stalking, harassing me and my family. Trial was held and with a burden of clear and convincing , I fell short getting the order 70/30, but the ultimate insult was that my son had complained that Soto has sexually harassed him in the past. At the time I dismissed it as sarcasm towards Soto, the relative. I could never understand why Soto pursued my son so tenaciously, let the COPS do their work, it was a little weird. I began to believe there might be some merit to the sexual allegations. When I told Kau about it ( the one who told me to file for the Order), he dismissed it as unworthy of his consideration. I could list many illegalities performed by Kau, but the focus here is on arbitrary law enforcement, the kind Kau performs. Finally at Trial Kau testified as witness for Soto, (now his buddy, they still dine together and he does his taxes)stated that I had told him that my son might have been molested by Soto. He said it in a disparaging way as if I had slandered Soto. I was represented by an attorney and he would not let me talk; I would have said that any parent that has been told by their child true or not true that there child had been molested and did not address the issue is a piece of defecation, much like a Detective who is told the same thing and dismisses it as unworthy. Further, if someone accused me of untrue molestation I would sue them into the stone age for Defamation per se. All I heard were CRICKETS . read more

I'm totally disgusted by Sac Sheriffs Dept. Has handed my case. Being a victim of Violent Aggravated Battery, with Attempted Murder threat put on mine and my family's life if I pressed charges and had my attacker arrested. Violent Assault on a disabled person while on severe medication, and no thing has been done about it, it's like they don't care that a disabled person couldn't fend off his attacker. Wtf Really! I've been laughed at by LT Ryder when I filed my complaint, taunted by Sheriffs Deputy's, told to forget about it, and laughed at, and told by Sac County Detectives to forget about it, and move on, pretend it didn't happen, cause it didn't happen. That's just sickening to me, how Sac Sheriffs can turn their back on a crime like this, with the injuries that I've sustained my attacker should be in JailWorst part about it is there's Audio/Video of the Violent Assault which Sac Sheriffs Dept has sent the Audio/Video to Forensics Specialists to run Biometric Test, and confirm voice analysis of the Violent Assault on a Disabled Person. A new crime has been committed against me, my Fk n Attacker has posted pics of the Violent Assault while on severe medication online on a website. Whom have told me to report this to FBI & Sacramento Sheriffs Dept. So I filed a new report to the Sheriffs Department by walking in to report it, no report was filed, only fk n scribbled on scratch paper, r u kidding me with this BS. Do your job, before you don't have a job to do! So 6 days later I finally get a report only after I brought a witness in with me. Still no arrest was made, fk n Sheriffs Department just doesn't care, about me or any disabled person who has been harmed. They still haven't brought my case to the DA! as of 8 months now. So now I've involved the DOJ! I bet you do something now Fk n Assholes. By the way this has caused me to seek legal action against the Sacramento Sheriffs Department. Bet the media would love my story! Since I have proof of a cover up from the Sacramento Sheriffs Department. read more

I called the Sheriff Department to report Christina Nino while she was living with me in a shared apartment. I found out she was stealing from local businesses to pay her portion of rent, smoking meth, neglecting her children, and had open warrants for felony embezzlement. She had been convicted of fraud and has gang affiliations ("sex'd into a gang" known as the Broderick Boys). She was stealing from payroll companies and a movie production I worked for part time down in L.A. I called the Sheriff from my apartment where some of the crimes had taken place. Rather than investigating, they arrived and threw me in the back fo their patrol car while they tried to get, "her side of the story." I was assaulted by officers, never arrested and told to leave my apartment. They told me, "We dont care about her crimes! you need to leave the property and file a report in the morning!" When my mother, girlfriend and lawyer tried to do that, they refused to take a report claiming they had already addressed the matter. While the sheriff scratched their heads the suspect fled with nearly 20k in stolen cash and goods from fellow Sacramento businesses. All thanks to the brilliant profiling done by the responding deputies and the North Highland Station refusing to take a report. The report was finally filed, almost 6 months later! Thanks for judging a situation through stigma and social norms rather than evidence and logic. You guys rock! read more

Sacramento County Sheriff Deputies do their job well when it comes to major crimes like murder, gun crimes and domestic violence. However, when it comes to other criminal acts, the deputies obstruct crime reporting. The deputies, instead of taking the report start arguments with victims, misleading the victims in order to not do their job in preparing the reports. The Online Reporting System is even worse, every time I have used the online system to report a crime, the online officers obstruct the report by rejecting the online reports constantly. The online officers are given a report of a criminal act under the California Penal Code and they turn around claiming they dont do Custody Orders and arbitrarily reject the report with no recourse for the complaining party. Sheriff Scott Jones needs to hire more conscientious deputies who help the victims of crimes instead of the work dodging deputies that he has on the force. This is the capital of the State of California, and if law enforcement officers in the capital take the law into their own hands assuming the role of judges and district attorney the citizens of Sacramento are not being served properly. The conduct of the deputies makes a reporting person wonder if the Sacramento County Sheriff is "cooking the books" by having the deputies obstruct crime reporting to make the department statistics appear as if they are doing a good job policing Sacramento County. read more

Buy a set of 'nutss for #710. Absolute terrible service and judgement. Snowflake doesn't even begin to explain #710's judgment and so-called service. I was a civil servant for 27 years and served proudly and thank God I live in a different county where the sheriff and his deputies protect the rule of law. Next time you want to share a story to explain the type of deputy you are please keep it to yourself because it's solidified the moron that you are. I would never call 911 in Sacramento County even if I was going to die and I had 15 minutes to die or figure it out myself. I'm not some disgruntled ex cop or ex-convict I've never even got the speeding ticket. My assessment and observations combined with my background backed by the constitution.allow me to say you should look for a new job dude really unbelievable, absolutely disgraceful. read more

Nice cowardly crimes committed by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office in November 2023! Why the F are they "Mag Dumping" while they are NOT in danger and she is driving away!!???

ALWAYS ESCALATE ALWAYS VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS! https://youtu.be/rOPaJkxQLiI?si=y4sbs7zq3zlgKTlP read more

Why does Officer Amend (*badge 964) still have a job?? Did he not swear a solemn oath to uphold and protect the Constitution?? Because threatening to arrest citizens for public photography while they are on public access is a violation of that same document. Shameful example of blue-line cowardice and tyranny. Do better. This ignorant cop needs some re-schooling. Violating civil rights should be better investigated -- but we know you all just back the blue, no matter what. Just disgusting. Time to end qualified immunity so corrupt officials like this can be held fully accountable for their criminal actions. read more

Horrible. As a retired deputy from Orange County I have had to contact the Sheriff directly and internal affairs about rank incompetence, rudeness and downright discrimination about Sgt, who actually refused to take a victims report and hung up the phone twice on her. I had to get a Lt. to order this incompetent Sgt. Name Pometta to do his job. This department is full of deputys that do not care about victims nor empathizing with them. Instead it is full of lazy and officers that do not know the law, A Sgt, and racist that look down on Hispanics. read more

Useless, wasting taxpayers' money! They never do anything, just pretend to patrol. They have a set agenda to let all the illegals and homeless than never pay any taxes off the hook. Someone hit my car and ran off when the sheriff was chasing him, and the sheriff said to just leave the person alone because he probably doesn't have money or car insurance to pay for the damages anyways. If I, an US citizen would have done it I would have been in jail. Don't even bother to call if homeless people attack you, they don't respond. read more

This department is crooked. They have officers overdosing on fentanyl in their own bathrooms. They also have officers who lie about assaults, forge signatures and throw elderly women to the ground. The cherry on top is these slime balls turning off their bodycams directly after. Fire the entire department and if the DA doesn't prosecute, we must vote him out and hold him accountable as well! Just disgusting. read more

Failure to provide life saving medical attention to an inmate. The inmate is a frequent flyer and has been in the system before and been provided the needed medical attention for a genetic disease that compromises their immune system. The inmate requires monthly treatments. He has not received one since September 2017. He was incarcerated early October 2017. Is this an agency imposed death sentence? read more

"Administrative leave" is what happens when there is video evidence of one of their thugs throwing someone to the ground OUTSIDE of the jail in view of the public - I can't imagine the BS that goes on inside of the building where the public can't see everything. This is the level of integrity and professionalism you can come to expect from this embarrassment of an agency. read more

I just saw a YouTube clip in which they threw an older woman out of the sheriff's office and onto the pavement, and they all laughed about it. Apparently one of the officers lost his job, but six others still kept their job. Something is rotten in management here. Something needs to be done It's not OK to treat people with such cruelty and disrespect. This is repugnant. read more

VERY RUDE, they treat citizens like they are above the law I had the misfortune of meeting two yesterday as they were blocking the entire driveway to the entrance to an establishment while interrogating some poor sole, they could have moved one vehicle so people could enter and exit the driveway but chose to ignore the traffic jam they were causing instead! read more

They let my child's father get away with child abuse..terrible and wouldn't let me remove the child from the home. They fail to see anything wrong with it and think I'm so terrible person Judy because I have tattoos. I don't have any felonies! There should be no reason I cannot remove my child from his home if he's been abused. read more

Hello. The worst public service agency known to man. WHY? They promote violence. HOW? A Parolee from Pelican Bay State Prison has punched me on camera, vandalized my car with witnesses, and tried to run me over in Carmichael Park with witnesses. The Sheriff's department won't take him to jail, using COVD-19 as an excuse. read more

Disgusting behavior and abuse! And false advertising - "Providing Safety And Security For Our Community." You should take statement down until you fix your problem of excessive force and abuse of elders. That cop should be in prison. And for him to think he can do that and laugh about it, it's because of your culture. read more

Sergant Cook definitely needs retraining!! Matter of fact how did she become a Sergant in the first place using prior restraint to violate a first amendment auditor his right to record the police. Than she violated his rights again by assaulting him(unwanted touching) also with no deesculating skills at all!! read more

One of their correctional officers has illegal firearms in his home. I didn't know that officers were allowed to have unserialized rifles. Oh wait, I know they aren't above the law. Christian Long is a felon. He lied on his job application, his background check, and to his superiors. read more
