Update: There was…read morean incident in Halloween of 2025 with one of your fellow officers pushing me. It was in a bar in downtown Hayward around A Street and Main Street. I was standing by the corner of the front bar. This Hispanic or Caucasian obnoxious officer of HPD did say "excuse me" to me and others. So I did my best to move a side. Still, HE PUSHED ME towards the bar table. Mind you it was crowded. Still not necessary to PUSH me (his hands on my back while my chest hits the bar table). I've seen him around for years. Usually obnoxious, arrogant, and sometimes looking like he's profiling me. I just let those things go. But not this episode of pushing me. If I'm not mistaken, I think his name is "Mendez" or "Melendez". I could be wrong. Luckily, I found a picture of him in a HPD social media account. I wanted to give this a 1 star but I figured that some of your officers are actually respectful and professional enough.

I shook my head in a yes way. He asked for proof!! I showed him proof! I had to take out my wallet to continue showing my proof! I asked why was he disturbing me he said they was on PARKING ticket duty! No Drugs! NOGuns! No! Alcohol! No! Loud music! No! Complaints! No! Speeding No! High Speed Chase! No Warrants! But I don't LOOK! like them! Police you must do better this was the 3rd time in Hayward I was HARRASSED by you and I know hundreds of people in Hayward that's never even seen you face to face for any reason. Just give me a few more years and you can have your city back. But until then remember I live here and pay taxes for YOU even when you're wrong! What happened to the police used to be OUR neighbors! But now you live somewhere else with my money. If I'm wrong prove it.

I wanted to take the time to share my positive experience with the crew at the front desk of the…read moreSan Ramon Police department from about a week ago. My car was repoed and needed to get a "police release" in order to pick up my car from impound. The officer at the front desk was very polite from the start (Much appreciated) especially via the circumstances of my visit. Much nicer to have a smiling face greet me than someone who is either having a bad day or someone who hates their job. So thanks for that. NOW comes the part that not only blew me away but actually made me cry all the way to my car. The fee to get a vehicle police release is only $15. Very reasonable in my view. I asked the clerk if there was any program that waives the fee if someone is partially unemployed due to covid and she politely said im sorry there isn't. No worries I said, It doesn't hurt to ask. You see this last couple months have been challenging with my business due to Covid related issues cutting my business by 90%. This week I was really strapped for cash especially having to pay to get my car out of impound I had very little money for food for the next week or so, so every dollar counted. The officer asked me to take a seat and wait while she processed my vehicle release form and after a short wait she called my up, handed me my release and my $15 back and told me the crew at the front desk chipped in and paid my fee. ????????? Whaaaaaaaat? I was stunned. That was such a nice thing to do. The $15 got me by on food for the week and I just can't say how much I appreciate it. So unexpected. Im a huge advocate for random acts of kindness and bestow the same on others on a regular basis so to have one come my way was a great feeling. Im tearing up now just thinking about it. I look forward to the day, hopefully sooner than later when I can throw one back their way. Ill be back, and it won't be to pick up a release form. Thanks to the front desk crew so much.

I actually experienced mild (passive) racism by officers of this department. A couple years back a…read morecrazy angry driver crashed into me, and I had a witness pull over with me so the 3 of us talked to SRPD. The angry man was of middle eastern descent (surname Ali), and the witness was a Chinese man, and I am 80% Chinese. Ironically, Mr Ali yelled at us right off the bat to "go back to our own country", even though he's a minority as well and I was born in Hayward, California. Anyway, that's beside the point. When the police showed up, 2 officers from San Ramon Police Department, Mr Ali claimed that the other Chinese man and I were related and knew each other and that was why we were both against him, when in reality it was just a random guy that witnessed his reckless driving that caused an accident. We were in 3 separate cars and have different last names and everything. 3 total strangers. Because of this racist assumption, the insurance companies ruled it a no fault collision even though it was obviously at fault. This forced me to pay a few thousand dollars for repairs with no compensation (insurance covered damages for 10k+ but I had to pay the deductible and other fees) due to this implicit bias by both the subject in question, but more importantly, the officers who took our report and contact information and stuff. I hope they get better with this whole "justice" thing. Of course this is purely anecdotal based on a total of one interaction I've had with this department in my life (I've lived in San Ramon since 2004), but I'm sure they can do better, or perhaps, be better.

I answered and informed the caller I would call him back. That's when a CHP pulled me over. I tried to explain to the officer he didn't want to hear it. He gave me a ticket, didn't give a warning. I have a perfect record. You would have thought he would give me a warning. I see dirt bikes driving down Mission Blvd every day. I see blacked out car windows(tint) But he targets the working men and women. I'm literally in uniform you would think he would take that into consideration. Now as a long time supporter I have changed my view and will no longer make donations to law enforcement or support them in voluntary programs.

Disappointed and frustrated with APD's inaction and unhelpfulness with a crazy-making situation…read morewith a toxic neighbor. I have an upstairs neighbor who has been causing a relentless noise disturbance in my home, using some vibrating sound machine every day and at nearly all hours. Attempts to discuss the issue with the neighbor directly and respectfully have only resulted in her spitefully ramping up the noise assault. It has made for a truly unbearable living situation. My property management company has been useless (see previous review of Drysdale Property Management), so I reached out to APD for help. I called and reported the situation, and an officer called me back a short time later. I explained the situation in detail, stressed the seriousness of matter, and pleaded for any assistance they could provide to put a stop to this. The officer told me he would talk to the neighbor and Drysdale and get back to me. Then... nothing. Not another word about the matter. I called and left a voicemail for the officer asking for a follow-up, and still got nothing. Meanwhile the noise assault continues, and I have been pretty much displaced from my home, as I literally cannot be in my apartment when this noise machine is running, which is all waking hours of every day. The neighbor turns the machine on first thing in the morning and leaves for the day, leaving the noise on, and not turning it off until nighttime. When I called APD for help, it was for a reason. If the situation wasn't serious, or could be handled any other way, I wouldn't be calling. So treat it seriously. APD should have visited my residence, listened to the noise for themselves, then made in-person contact with the offending neighbor and put the neighbor on notice that the noise harassment is unacceptable and needs to stop. A phone call is not an appropriate response in a situation like this. A visit from the police sends a message. A phone call much less so. I still have no idea if the APD even talked to the neighbor, as there has been zero follow-up. This isn't the first time I've noticed passiveness from the APD, especially in recent years. Slow response times (if they respond at all), phone calls instead of in-person visits, and a hands-off approach seem to have become more the rule than the exception, and I'm not the only one in town who has noticed this. I know police departments across the country have experienced major public blow-back for excessive force in the past, but the solution is not going in the extreme opposite direction, and just not intervening in situations that deserve to be handled seriously and promptly. I will give the officer I spoke with credit for advising me how to go about addressing this through the legal system, but I still expected more of an assertive response from the APD themselves. I expected help. This is what we pay taxes for. The only time I see APD reliably showing up these days is in the South Shore shopping center, apprehending shoplifters. Because when it comes to a business' bottom line being affected, they're on it, but when it comes to a crazy neighbor making your life a living hell, you're on your own, and good luck dealing with the clown show known as civil court. Unacceptable.

We are on our own. This has become more and more evident as…read morewe see APD just not handling calls seriously. When someone calls regarding an issue it is serious and should not be taken lightly. Hence, put down your coffee and donut and check out the complaint in person. Find out what is going on. Talk to the parties involved in person not by a phone call. Show up in person. It's amazing the impact an officer at your door has. There is no way to investigate via phone calls. I know, I know dealing with people face to face can be confrontational but that's your job. And if someone needs to be detained then cuff them and haul them off. And if you the police don't intevene in conflicts, the peeps will, and it more than likely is not going to turn out well. I'm not sure when the shift happened but it did. Not too long ago Alameda Police would be showing up promptly, banging on doors, and getting problems solved. Not any more. Not sure if it's part of this upside-down 'criminals and other troublemakers are the victims' mentality, or what. But there has definitely been a shift in how things are handled. I do see a lot of police presence at South Shore though. And there is a lot of crime there but we have criminals and troublemakers in the residential areas also that need to be dealt with. Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge supporter of the police. I have multiple friends on the force in different cities and counties so this isn't random cop bashing. But from what I've seen, APD has abandoned their responsibilities to the law abiding citizens of Alameda and that needs to change now.

He used racially charged and vulgar language toward her, repeatedly called her "stupid," and referred to her using profane and derogatory terms, including the "B-word." He assumed she was driving illegally without any basis and attempted to intimidate her by loudly identifying himself as a police officer, clapping his hands aggressively, and escalating the situation. A woman who identified herself as his girlfriend and who stated she was also an officer from Danville who was also off duty, arrived on the scene and was witnessed telling Officer Williams to calm down due to his erratic behavior. They both later provided false information to CHP about who was at fault for the accident. After researching we could only find her last name has the letters BAN in it. This kind of conduct is unacceptable, especially from someone entrusted with upholding the law. Officer Williams' actions were not only unprofessional but dangerous and discriminatory. Behavior like this undermines public trust and raises serious concerns about his fitness to serve as a law enforcement officer
