    Recently had to call RPD for the first time. I have for years thought they were the ELITE of the…read moreWake County area but after this call I lost respect. #1 - I am the one who called 911 for service. They did not even come to my home first bc they were flagged down by the group of people I was calling to complain on. (They had no idea who my complaint was about and yet instead of coming to the address of the person who called in reference to threats of being shot they go to a different place. 2) None of the officers I spoke to had a care in the world. My wife noticed it, my kids ages 19,17 noticed it. I have been a homeowner where I live for over a decade and we have these renters that come in every 6-18 month to these 2 homes at the end of our street. Every single person that has lived in these houses have been a nuisance. Two gentleman came to my home and literally stated they were going to kill my kids and wife and RPD did absolutely nothing. I reported a vehicle sitting in the roadway with no tags and RPD did nothing. They literally watch this person go in the house, get a tag from another car and put it on the vehicle. 2 hours later I drove by and that tag had also been changed over to a dealer tag. ( I spoke to a sergeant about this and his response was "well if we ticket them now it may escalate the situation) They wrote no tickets, even though the vehicle was also parked within 20 ft of a stop sign nothing was done. (It has been sitting in the same spot since and nothing has been done) I will never again call RPD if the two officers I dealt with are what they are training. I went through BLET in 2000 when popat first started. My vehicles say retired on my tags and everything. I don't expect special treatment but Maybe a tad more respect or professional courtesy since I have been in those shoes before, kind of like respecting your elders. Don't talk down to me as if I am stupid because I am not currently working. I have already been there and done that and may know a little more than you do. One would think these younger officers would like to learn but it seems they just want to clear the call as quickly as possible. There are always cars parked blocking the intersection, illegally parked, if a fire truck were to need to get down to my house they couldn't even get here because of ppl parking along side the road. RPD never patrols the neighborhood, and when you call them they make you feel dumb like you have no clue what you are talking about. Also the new standard of police work is they ask you for video recording so I guess you are supposed to go around recording your whole life every single day. As a retired officer I used to be proud to say I live in the City of Oaks where RPD protects us but now I see RPD is really going downhill and doesn't give a damn about community policing. They just want to clear calls as quickly as possible.

    They barely do their job, it may as well be the purge in NC, someone broke in my truck at Embassy…read moresuite, well lit parking lot with cameras, the way I feel like someone that works there did it, I had to tell the cop come during the day to request access to there cameras but I doubt they did ... all I'm asking is for them to do a proper investigation... don't act nonchalant about

I'm moving from Philly to Fla with my dog. The trooper was absolutely awesome. He zipped tied tied my front bumper and cut off the rear and handed me my license plate. He was pleasant and professional. I regret not getting his name. It happened in Roanoke Rapids. I If he's typical of your force you folks should stand proud !

    This State Highway Patrol listing already existed on Yelp (I didn't create it). I'm not sure how it…read morecame to be because there are numerous North Carolina State Highway Patrol Troop Offices across the state and not all of them are on Yelp: https://www.ncdps.gov/our-organization/law-enforcement/state-highway-patrol/troop-offices. The address on this listing, at 1831 Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh, is for Troop C. In North Carolina, there are nine troops with the letter designations A through I. Each troop is based in a different city and has jurisdiction in a different set of counties. Troop C covers the Triangle. I often make the drive from Chapel Hill to High Point to Charlotte and on into South Carolina and Georgia, and back. The drive takes place on I-40 and I-85 and spans, I believe, four troop jurisdictions: C, D, E, and H. I haven't seen too much activity from Troop C over the past ~2.5 years. I think the most activity I consistently see is from Troop E on I-85 in Davidson County, near Lexington. That part of the interstate is easy to speed on because of the numerous lanes and low volume of traffic. It's also a great place for the State Highway Patrol to set up speed traps. I see the traps regularly. People also love to speed between Durham and Greensboro, which I believe is mostly Troop D territory. I'm a little surprised I haven't seen more people pulled over on that merged stretch of I-40 and I-85. It's relatively dangerous because of the higher volume of traffic between the Triangle and the Triad. State Highway Patrol is a Law Enforcement division of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety. Thank you to the State Highway Patrol for keeping us safe on the highway.

It's just that YouTube and the like have made us more aware of it, and yes, it's getting worse. But anyway. My one and only experience with the Durham Police was a negative one. I got thrown out of a Harris Teeter just for using my computer in there, which I've done at a dozen other Harris Teeters (all of which right after shopping there, and totally legally). Some other people were not thrown out, and they were also hanging out and being loud in the same part of the store. It was quite surreal and bizarre and hardly ever happens to me. Naturally I gave the store and the security people a one-star. Then the cop they apparently called or alerted was in the parking lot watching me and looking me up on his computer and shining a light in my car window while I was looking up directions. I was one of 40 cars in the lot, but the only one that just got wrongly told to leave the store, and the only one with NY plates. I noticed that he was acting like he was going to follow me. Checked out my license plate and whatnot. I did absolutely nothing to warrant calling the police and I wanted to complain about the treatment they had afforded me, but he gave me seriously creepy vibe - like he was looking for a reason to bust me, and very bored - definitely not your friendly officer on the Block, so I just got the hell out of town, didn't notice him follow, and will be careful when coming back to Durham.

    The incident happened in 2017. It was never followed up on as I was promised. When I reported what…read morehappened to me, I was told that there would be follow-up. After all, I was told he Joel Acciardo Chief of Police would want me to tell him exactly what I wanted from the officers and what happened to me. I complied. I was told that the Hope Mills Police Chief Joel Acciardo had a 0 tolerance for his officers abusing their authority. Guess that too was untrue. Hope Mills is not a big metropolitan county so if the incident and those officers who would do this are being paid by the citizens they can freely and blatantly misuse their authority then Hope Mills has a problem, a serious problem. BTW I am a Disabled American Veteran so this is double the disrespect and insult for my service to this country.

Got an inside look on what few things out of lot of task they do to protect the citizens of Hope Mills. It is a fairly small department, but that doesn't mean that the corners are cut due to their size at all and thats what I liked. I like how safe the officer was. He was very informative on everything he did so that I could easily understand what was happening from neighborhood patrols to traffic stops. Like I said in the beginning I cant commend him and the rest of the officers on shift on how well they were Helpful, Respectful and Professional the whole time. Will defiantly be doing another ride along soon.
