Filed a sexual assault report against Bradford Gregory Lawrence of El Gancho. I met the guy at a bar, ended up drinking more than I could handle and he took advantage of me. The situation was super confusing because Bradford Gregory Lawrence actually maintained contact with me afterwards, presumably in order to confuse the situation and what that incident was all about. Once I realized what had happened, I verbally reprimanded the man and he actually even threatened me. I then filed a police report. As far as I know, one cannot consent while mentally incapacitated. Ultimately though, the police believed his word over mine and labeled the report 'unfounded.' Bradford Gregory Lawrence had actually made up a story saying that I was fighting another woman at the bar for him! The cops didn't even check the cameras of the restaurant/bar where we interacted to corroborate what Bradford Gregory Lawrence told them. The cops were actually more interested in asking me what my occupation was and how my credit is! At the end, they simply took his word over mine. The police officers at the center told me no crime had occurred and that if I was bothered by what had happened I should go seek free therapy at a local sexual assault center, Solace Sexual Assault Center. read more

Fair warning I was here to work. But, this place is nice. I think this place was converted from some college that went under with the requisite dorm rooms attached. The lobby is a bit daunting but I guess a police station/ academy shouldn't be required to be cosy. Beyond the foyer the building is chock full of tributes to fallen officers and other ephemera of the works from our officers. I had the "pleasure" of witnessing the current batch of recruits be tested by being pepper sprayed in the face then having to wrestle a trainer. This really brought home the sacrifices they go through to get to protect and serve our community. I have no idea what a Yelp! review will do but this place is nice so I thought I'd say so. read more

my husband was stuck in a bank (not an employee) because a person was throwing axes at the bank's exterior right by the door. He felt unsafe and called the SF police to help him so he could get safely to his car. The police never called or showed up, my husband had to wait for the axe-throwing person to move to another side of the building so he could sprint to his car and leave. This is unacceptable in every way. read more

I was coming home from a loooooong shift and was a couple blocks from home before I saw lights behind me. Made my turn into my neighborhood and the lights were still present so I pulled over to let the officer pass... he didn't pass. License and registration game was on! Officer Oscar asked me if I knew I was being stopped and let me know he thought I did not come to a complete stop off of Cordova and whatever intersection. Good for you Oscar (I cannot remember his surname for the life of me). Many a time I am en route through this intersection between Body/clafoutis/dulce- and many a time I've watched people running the four way intersection wether in broad daylight or the thick of night. I'll leave y'all with this: these guys have a difficult job, an awkward job, and often times it feels like you're not safe when the popo pull you over. Oscar told me he was brand new to the force, and I'll tell you I'm glad he's around. Professionalism and courtesy is what we need from our boys and gals in blue and he exhibited these qualities in full. I've no idea if I came to a complete stope or not. I generally know I am a very safe driver and we all make mistakes, but this guy, in my opinion, fulfilled his due diligence and is simply making sure our neighborhood is a little safer. Welcome to Santa Fe sir and thanks for doing your job with professionalism and care and I'm sorry I put you in the position you were in. We need more of these guys around the country but I'm happy to know he's around in the middle of the night protecting me, my wife, the neighbors, and the citizens of Santa Fe. Keep an eye on your six and an eye on the community and continue doing you as you. I have the pleasure of meeting y'all in the ER and have nothing but the highest regard for your professionalism and we continue to provide for our community through thick and thin. Five stars here which is rare for my reviews but you've definitely earned it. read more

After three phone calls Santa Fe dispatch advised me that there were no fireworks restrictions in the city, that all fireworks were permissible, big or small. They told me on the third phone call to stop calling and let people have fun. Officers were never dispatched. Found out today, per Fire Marshall, that there are restrictions in the city limits. read more

My photos have over 900,000 views on Google. Yet, as a result of a negative Google review I posted here, 1st amendment, my Google local guides level 7 status, and my ability to be a Google local guides reviewer is indefinitely suspended. I can't even appeal this decision with Google. Therefore, I have to make a new account, and start my reputation on Google Maps from the beginning. I had previously been building my Google local guides reputation for the last seven years. Thank you very much. read more

On Christmas Eve 2020 my world came crashing down. My 18 month old stopped breathing, turned blue, limp and eyes rolled back into his head. Thanks to an officer who was off duty Brandon Martinez my baby was saved!!! I would also like to say thank you to Francisco Alvarado the officer who arrived on scene and was at the hospital. He was so kind and compassionate to my husband and myself after such a traumatic experience. Words seem so small in comparison to how grateful my whole family is! Thank you to the amazing EMT and firefighters that arrived so incredibly quick! Officer Martinez is a hero and his heroic and lifesaving actions saved my baby!! read more
