I hope you're never brutally raped in Riverbank to the point where gun is pointing out your head and drugs are shoved down your throat and I sure hope you never get assigned Detective Gallo is the laziest Detective I've ever came across in my entire life. All he did was interview me and the person who brutally raped me, booked my rapist and of course, Da lets them off with no evidence. There's no urgency with Detective Gallo whatsoever. He never contacted the witnesses. I provided him. He never checked any phones text locations. He never checked the crime scene. There's 1 million things he was supposed to do that. He never did and don't even get me started on his incompetent. Watch Sergeant, who betrayed me when I brought up the fact that they didn't collect the right evidence. I hope God has mercy on all of them because I know the devil won't.

Recently reported a very scary occurrence. We heard a very loud BOOM followed by another BOOM &…read moreground vibration. This was an entire neighborhood w/several concerned residents. Windows vibrated, pets ran for cover and neighbors gathered outside. Nobody could figure it out. There wasn't any nearby construction or electrical transformer issues. There were no gas line issues either. Officers came to inspect the area. They were quick, helpful and offered possible theories. It was amazing to see them wk with each other to try to help us find the cause. They risk their lives constantly in effort to keep us safe & manage to respond to many issues/concerns non too big or to small. Thank you, keep up the excellent work!!!

All of the men were rude and not helpful at all. On the other hand the two female officers I was in contact with were ok. When I was told I had to go into the general population I told them my Bailbonds Co.said it would be a few hours and it had been 3. They said I had been there too long and they had to move me. So I had to get naked in a room with a female officer ( with door open ) squat & cough etc. and put jail clothes on. We were just about to go into the gp and they pulled me because I was bailed out. One of the female officers said "ok, now don't come back, and give us 5 stars" when I was released! That cracked me up! So here I am. But you get two stars. And won't be going back, (knock on wood).

A cop pulled over the thieves and my purse was found along with many other stolen purses! Awful! I was called from an officer that my purse was found along with my wallet! They had to investigate it more, but told me they would call me later to get it. I ended up receiving a call from officer Mitchell investigating it and he told me they will be doing some more investigation, but will let me know and then, I'll be able to get my purse back! Thank you Lord! That day has arrived! =) I received an email that I could pick up my purse, passport and wallet in Modesto as long as I let the officer know I would be on my way soon. Two days later because I must be controlled. =( I called to let officer Balos know I was on the way yesterday and it is today! I arrived to pick it up ALONE so I could be me without control. I provided my ID to the officer and officer Mitchell came out to provide a little more information. Plus, there was a nice older lady that had the same happen to her except it happened while she was running. Her car broken into too. =/ The office is safe and clean and the officers are very nice! Thank you to all of the officers that helped. Appreciated! Good luck getting this case done and getting justice for all that dealt with it! Great service!
