My car died in the middle of an intersection, no hazards, lights or any power whatsoever. Corporal…read moreReilly and another young officer whose name escapes me came and sat behind my car as traffic was going around me from every direction. They stayed for upwards of two hours until roadside assistance arrived. I am extremely grateful for their assistance, patience and kindness during a stressful situation. Rest assured the honking horns stopped once they arrived on the scene. Thank you to these fine officers for being there for me. Cherokee County is fortunate to have these two on their force!!

I am a native of Hickory Flat. I am in frequent contact with the local department and rely on them…read moreheavily. I know many deputies here and have never had a problem. I think that they are under appreciated and cant say enough good things about them. However... I pulled out of Chase bank at Hickory Road and HWY 140 this morning (1/13/18) about 11am heading towards Hickory Flat School. A deputy in an Explorer pulled out of the new construction area on Hickory behind me as though giving chase. No lights or siren but rode my bumper so close that I couldn't see his front grill. With the growing number of wrecks on this very busy block, as well as the recent fatalities which have claimed neighbors of mine, it was a very uncomfortable and unnecessary traffic event. I turned right on E. Cherokee, deputy hugged me the whole time and then... crossed the double yellow to pass me in a school zone. Then entered oncoming lane and blocked traffic at E Cherokee and 140 intersection to have a black Nissan pickup pull over into old HF store lot where they spoke (maybe) long enough for the deputy to shake a finger... but not write a ticket. Then the Nissan went on his way. I am intensely curious about why a deputy in this county would/could break that many traffic laws and endanger any number of citizens for what was apparently a non offense. I'm pretty sure anybody else would have been field tested and cuffed. Unacceptable.

Woodstock Police Department - I SUPPORT WOODSTOCK POLICE! Officer Whitfield  !!!

I've lived in Woodstock for 20 years and have had a number of interactions with the police. Every…read moretime, they have been friendly, professional, helpful, and had positive attitudes. I see an unfortunate number of 1 star reviews here ... all of which were generated by people who do not even live here. Perhaps one or two are legitimate stories, though I very much doubt it. Frankly, the tone of them sounds like they were created by police haters who wouldn't appreciate a police officer if he/she pulled them from a burning car. Please note that every review is either 5 stars or 1. That alone should speak volumes to the discerning reader. I don't know whether to be amused or disgusted when I read that there is (allegedly) too much of a police presence here. That's one of the most ludicrous criticisms I've ever read. I, for one, am happy to know someone is around at all times, looking out for all of us. Including any ungrateful haters. I would like everyone to know that the Woodstock Police Department is but one of the many reasons that this is a great place to live. And I hope that by writing this I am doing my small part to correct the totally unfair, and inaccurate, Yelp rating I see here. Thank you, officers, for keeping us safe and for playing such a positive role in our city.

I am totally grateful she stopped to help me with a car situation. I cannot say enough good things about how I was treated. Woodstock Police Department is lucky to have her and in turn they have trained their officers well.

A Big Thank You to the Roswell Police Department…read more I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the Roswell Police Department for their exceptional service. From the moment I reached out for assistance, their professionalism and dedication shone through. They handled my situation with care, competence, and speed. Their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the community is truly commendable. Thank you, Roswell PD, for your unwavering service. Charles Wright The Right Guy Investigations

Roswell police are not community friendly as they may want residents to believe.. I've been living…read morein Roswell for over 5 years and the way they treat colored people is really a disgrace to their badge and oath that they've "sworn" to protect and serve.. not to "Harass and be racist". I was pulled over driving back from the fast station near my neighborhood. The police had no issue when I passed them on my way to the gas station.. only when I stepped outside the gas station and sat back in the car and began to drive they immediately pull me over. Of course the police were going to overreact as they always do when pulling a colored person over by bringing in 2 additional cars said they pulled me over for the tint but then asked me to get out of car due to smell of marijuana. I told them not true and they continued to search my car.. only after 30 minutes with no result they pulled off and saying have a nice day. I'm sure if my name was Adam or Henry, they would've not cared because I'm a colored person they immediately thought I was a drug dealer. It's a shame in 2023 police officers cry about how they want to build a relationship with their community but honestly they can careless and continue to harass people who do not look like them! I don't encourage anyone to live in Roswell that is a person of color due to the high stereotype profiling and racist officers that honestly need to be off the street. Save yourself time and money by loving in another community where they cherish all races not just there's thinking they're the only superior race that belongs here.

On Monday, I attended a CRASE presentation by Officer King of the Marietta Police Department. CRASE…read morestands for Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events -- basically, what we as civilians should do in response to an active shooter before law enforcement arrives. This presentation was free to anyone who worked at the office complex where I work and was organized through WellStar Health System (who is a tenant in our complex). Given that mass killings by gunmen continue to rise in America, I thought it'd be a good idea to go just in the rare case my friends/family and I ever found ourselves in such a situation. However, it should be be noted that currently, the chances of someone getting shot in an active shooter event are worse than getting struck by lightning. The presentation lasted 1 hour. Officer King spoke for about 45 minutes and then left about 15 minutes for questions and answers. The presentation included a lot of real audio, video, pictures, and diagrams of incidents that have occurred in the past such as the Columbine High School massacre (1999), The Station nightclub fire (2003), the Virginia Tech shooting (2007), and the Panama City school board shootings (2010). The purpose of bringing up each real-life incident was not to scare us, but to teach us. There was something to be learned from how people responded to each incident. If people had responded to the threats differently, more lives would have been saved. Here are some takeaways I had from the presentation: 1. Wherever you are -- home, office, school, restaurant, store, etc. -- always know your exits. Where you came in from isn't necessarily how you're going to leave. Don't necessarily follow and go where everyone else is running to to escape. Be smart and think about alternative/best exits. 2. After calling 911, on average, it takes 3 minutes for law enforcement to arrive on the scene. 3. Don't hide and hope. At Virginia Tech, over 20 students were shot and killed while in the fetal position. By curling up under their desks, they didn't give themselves much of a chance to survive. 4. Don't be in denial of what's happening. You have to act and quickly. 5. If you can't escape, lock doors and barricade yourself. Try to buy as much time as possible before law enforcement arrive. Shooters are working against the clock and will take the path of least resistance to find people to kill. Even something as simple as locking a door could save your life. 6. Fight back. Rally the troops. Overpower the shooter. Try to disarm the shooter and take away their sight and breathing. Don't fight fair. Do whatever it takes to survive. Use whatever you have around you. For example, if you have a pen, you can use it to poke the shooter's eyeballs out. We watched some training videos of a simulated gunman entering a classroom. The class did simple things like standing a desk vertically in front of the classroom door to confuse and distract the gunman when he entered, even for just a split second, before disarming and attacking him. The presentation could have easily gone on longer, but 1 hour is all we were scheduled for. Parts of the presentation did feel rushed. There were no handouts nor could I find the presentation online. I think it would be helpful if the presentation/slides were available online. Luckily, you can search YouTube for CRASE and find other CRASE training videos online. Towards the end of the presentation, Officer King advised us to buy small trauma kits. In the case of a mass shooting, there likely will not be enough first responders to tend to everyone who gets shot, so trauma kits, with simple instructions, can make a big difference. Thank you to the Marietta Police and WellStar for offering this presentation to everyone in our office complex.

No reviews on this place? Are y'all afraid!?…read more As a "civilian" this building is pretty big but unless you're getting arrested or stalking men in uniform, this place is pretty basic on what it has to offer the public. If you need a copy of a police report, your criminal record or have always wanted a Cobb County Police mousepad, t-shirt or blanket, this is the place. The ladies behind the glass do not smile. I tried to make a joke by asking if the t-shirts came with handcuffs and I got the same stone face stare I received when I asked how her day was. You'll wait 20 minutes for the smallest request but it is what it is. Thankfully, they have little glass cases of police memorabilia to look at while you wait to be acknowledged by smiley behind the counter.

I had an experience with an officer where he was behind me in traffic and trying to get past us…read more We had nowhere to go and he was screaming and hitting our cars and so I filed a complaint because being screamed at and seeing him clearly be racist was overwhelming and unwarranted and they said according to detective trulove that this is in alignment with your code of conduct. I just want to take a moment to say if common decency and respect to people just going about their day is too much for an officer to comply with then maybe you have a problem. Intimidation IS NOT OKAY. Additionally I saw the same officer pull people out of their car and then drive across breaking traffic laws with no lights on just because he could. People deserve better than this. It was in the may time frame of 2019 off galleria parkway.
