The beauty of homeschooling is that we get to visit really cool places on field trips and learn a…read morelot. Lucky us...we got to visit the Saint Augustine Police Department. I don't think I can find the words to say how grateful I am that not only the kids got this opportunity, but the parents as well. I am truly amazed at this police department. How they "do it" is beyond me! Let me tell you why... Do you know the population of St. Augustine, Florida is right at 14K? WHOA! I know...right? It seems bigger than that. But you know what?...that means they have a very small police department since the population is low. Let's think about that for a minute...HELLO!...this is a tourist town!!! Doesn't it seem like you always see an officer somewhere? Next question...how many people do you think visit St. Augustine every year? Yep...I guessed a million too! But it's 7 million! Yes, 7,000,000 people! How does this police force keep up? They are humpin'..that's how! They have a very small force and it goes without saying they are understaffed. The next time you see a St. Augustine police officer take some time to thank them for all they do because it's not easy with these numbers. They are good, but numbers are thin. As for the station, it is very small. But we truly enjoyed learning about day to day operations there and learning how they juggle their schedules to make it work for the people (you and me that is). After all, someone has to always be on duty to protect and defend. We all thought it was cool to see the interrogation rooms, the evidence lockers and especially the vehicles. The bullet proof vest were a big hit too. I, and we, appreciated the educating tour of the police department by Officer Samson, the time he dedicated to us and making us feel very welcome. Thank you!

Hendrick came to my house after about 20minutes where I told her of what has occurred and how unsafe I'm beginning to feel, she then asked why I'm mad or angry with her, um you're suppose to keep the neighborhood safe and you're not. She refused to help me get info on trying to get an I junction on the neigbor that is aggressively approaching me in the road. H. D. Hendrich then complained she didn't make enough money, where then I suggested she return to school to follow her dreams, she then suggested I do the samewhere I told her I already had studied and received a degree. She also mentioned she isn't a resident of this community so I don't see how the pay rate here affects her if she lives in Hillard. There have only been a few descent officers here, and they know who they are, and I thank the good ones from the bottom of my heart. To the awful ones, go home.

After moving here from California, it is quite refreshing to have pleasant experiences with the…read morelocal law enforcement. In California they are much more of a tool for revenue and reimbursement, targeting not violent offenders with minor traffic infractions they know they can get money from. Every experience we've had since the move here their officers have a hands off approach and to put it bluntly don't seem to harass anyone that isn't acting like an idiot. When seen out at the local gas station they are always friendly, their animal control division even proved very helpful when our puppy recently got out. As the community grows, I hope their approach stays the same!

Friendly (yes, & I don't work here), helpful, accommodating receptionist. Officer Harmon took awhile to get here; she was out & about. Nice, friendly, but re-directed me to another state to file ;/ Officer Sgt. Hughes also took awhile to get to the office, when I returned to file the Rpt, since the other state wouldn't take my info, without something originating from the State in which I live. He was courteous, friendly, efficient, professional. The CR took all of 10mins max to file... so thank you, Sgt. Hughes! I can finally get this going! Easy access, Reid @11th Street.

I asked for the PD to visit the individual and was told to let it go. 7 Months later I am still dealing with this individual. So, as it goes, it was a waste of time. I recommend using the "Stand your Ground" law in the future. Because the local PD most likely will do nothing to keep the issue from escalating.
