Every person we spoke with was helpful and patient, taking the time to answer our questions and guide us through the process. Coming from the Chicago area, I was pleasantly surprised by how efficient this smaller BMV was. There was a constant, smooth flow of people in and out.

My experience with the Hammond Police Department has left me with the unmistakable impression that…read moreselective enforcement is not the exception but the norm. It is difficult to ignore the fact that there are consistently multiple vehicles with Illinois plates parked along Homan Avenue and Park Place without consequence, yet certain people and vehicles appear to attract repeated attention. At some point, it stops looking like coincidence and starts looking like a pattern. The purpose of law enforcement is to uphold the law impartially, not to enforce it based on convenience or personal discretion. When similar situations produce completely different outcomes depending on who is involved, it raises legitimate questions about fairness, consistency, and accountability. Public trust is not built through selective policing. It is built by applying the same standards to everyone. Equally concerning is the attitude displayed during some of these interactions. There is a noticeable difference between carrying oneself with professionalism and treating routine encounters as opportunities to remind people who has the badge. Authority is meant to protect the public, not to satisfy an ego. When officers become more interested in exercising power than exercising sound judgment, they undermine the very respect they expect from the community. The Hammond Police Department would be better served by focusing less on repeatedly scrutinizing the same individuals and more on demonstrating that the law is applied evenly regardless of who is parked where or what license plate is on a vehicle. Respect cannot be demanded simply because a uniform is worn. It is earned through integrity, consistency, and restraint. The community deserves policing that is fair, objective, and free from the appearance of personal bias. Until that standard is consistently met, many residents will continue to question whether they are being protected or simply being targeted.

My girlfriend did try call 911 for domestic violence from abuse parents and did report them show…read moresome evidences what they did but police didn't do anything, the officer just acting like crime they didn't commit how even telling them giving alcohol towards 1 year old baby and showing abuse of video but like officer act is normal. This is worse police emergency call we had and they didn't help. So I hopefully be glad report those bad services and that officer so off his duty. Be glad report them and see it on court.

Attended a charity event there for The Make a Wish Foundation it and was ok. The venue is…read moreextremely dated, and if you are on the heavier side(weight) then you will be uncomfortable with the small, narrow seats. The seats were great for the balcony area. The view is excellent up top better than the floor seats in my opinion. The only down side is a co-worker of mine ran into some racism with a female that was working the door. But that's the world we live....darn shame

Came here for a tournament last weekend and the facility is immaculate. Seems like a brand new…read moreplace with amazing volleyball courts, great spacing, and just bright all over. There's nothing more you can ask or expect of this place. I only hope they can keep it up because this place is a true gem! I came here for an event thinking the food has got to be expensive. Boy was I wrong! They had a 2 hot dog special, with two bags of chips, and two drinks for $8! what an absolute steal! I couldn't believe it with my own eyes I honestly had to do a double take. It really was $8. Oh get this, they were also jumbo dogs on the buns which is just unreal. My friend and I were blown away by how cheap the food was as well as our insatiable appetite. We ended up getting a salted pretzel with cheese and they're loaded nachos. The pretzel was a standard pretzel, what more could you ask for $3 with cheese. On the other hand, those nachos were delicious. They were your typical movie nachos with beef on top almost a mountain to be honest. Plus there was sour cream and I got two healthy packs of jalapenos to put on them. Yum! I can't remember for the life of me if there was cheese on them or not but I do not recall. I should've and will next time add cheese to it because I'm that extra. I mean, for me, cheese belongs on everything. All in all, my experience at the Hammond Sports Complex was nothing short of amazing. It was a lot of fun!

Its always such an unpleasant experience. I go to Scherville for courteous and fast service. Of course, no one picks up at the number given to me. Is it any wonder the USPS is on its way to extinction?
