65 Civic Ave Pittsburg, CA 94565…read more DUI Checkpoints serve as a very important tool for police to screen drivers. Everyday we hear stories about innocent people getting killed or injured by drunk drivers. I think I have driven thru 8-10 of these sobriety checkpoints in my life. I have no problem passing thru a DUI Checkpoint. But last night, I had a problem with the location of the DUI Checkpoint in Pittsburg, CA. Pittsburg/ Concord Police put a DUI Checkpoint on Kirker Pass before Buchanan Rd, as it becomes Railroad Ave. It was around 730pm, and traffic was backed up for miles on Kirker Pass eastbound. As we approached the break in the center median, I saw several drivers (including an ambulance) make an illegal U-turn to go back to Concord. I stayed in the traffic because I thought this traffic was due to the fire in Baypoint. The news was reporting that roads were closed, and drivers were using alternate routes. It wasn't until the traffic narrowed to 1 lane, that I saw the warning signs for a DUI Stop ahead. The police just waved cars thru.....no stopping. I did some research, apparently this is a successful location for catching impaired drivers and other violations. So this isn't the first time. Good job, but bad location.

Questions and responses were timely and informative. I appreciate the support and services…read more Thanks.

I came here on May 12th trying to get a replacement Social Security card for my daughter. I forgot…read morewhat happened, but they had to schedule me specifically for an appointment. So after a month, I came in yesterday for my appointment and I thought I had all the documents I needed to apply for a replacement Social Security card. But turns out Rafael told me that I needed more verified documents like my child's report card showing the date of her birth and name since I did not have a student ID card. At first, I was a bit irritated because when I made the appointment, the gentleman (who I made the appointment with last time) didn't tell me I needed a specific documents and what I had on hand, he said it would be fine. But thankfully, Rafael was nice enough to explain what I needed and if I come back to him, then he would try to squeeze me in. And I told him, I'm going to go home right now and come back within 20 minutes. When I got back the security officer, Corbin was really chill and friendly. I can tell by his aura that he's a cool dude and I'm glad he's working there because I think he brings happiness in that environment with his vibe. Anyways, Raphaël saw me & signaled me to go to the window. I gave him everything I found that he asked for, and the process went smoothly. I really appreciate him because he turned my irritation into satisfaction. I'm glad I handled business because now I don't have to worry about it. And for those that go stand in line in the morning, very early to get a ticket, you don't have to do that anymore because there's a QR code on the front door where you scan with your phone and your automatic in the queue. All you have to do when they open: you scan the barcode and you get your ticket, real simple and easy. Anyways, this location was chill and the workers were cool. All I gotta say is be nice and appreciative and you'll have a great day doing things you don't want to do, lol.

Well, today I made the mistake of going to this office. After taking a number, I waited…read moreapproximately 1.5 hours before hearing an announcement over the loudspeaker: if you took a number without an appointment, you would only be sent to the window to make an appointment. At that point, I was just two numbers away from being called. I asked the security guard why there weren't signs posted near the kiosks or a notice on the electronic board explaining this beforehand. He said they were short-staffed. I replied that perhaps they should at least advertise that people need to call ahead, instead of wasting the public's time and their staff's time. I then told the clerk I wanted to wait for a manager to discuss the inefficiencies. After another 10 minutes with no response, I left. This office is beyond ridiculous

There was plenty of parking. I was directed through text to "check-in" online once I arrived on site and given a QR code to scan at the kiosk for my ticket number. When it was my turn, my ticket number appeared on the screen in the front of the room and I was also texted. Once I went to the window, I showed the necessary documents to the employee, she gave me a receipt and was told I would get my new social security card in 2 weeks. I was out in less than 5 minutes. Very easy.

1/5 -- Extremely Frustrating and Unacceptable Experience…read more I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received at the Social Security office in Concord. I have been trying since the beginning of this year to get what should be simple documentation processed, and after multiple attempts, I still have not been able to get the help or resolution I need. Today, September 9, 2026, at approximately 9:57 AM, I specifically asked to speak with a supervisor because the issue has been going on for months. Instead of contacting the supervisor or explaining a clear process for speaking with one, I was repeatedly denied the opportunity. I even asked what I needed to do in order to speak with the supervisor, and they still would not call or notify the supervisor that I was requesting assistance. What made the experience even worse was the security guard on site today. The interaction was extremely rude and disrespectful at a time when I was simply trying to get assistance with an issue that has remained unresolved for most of the year. It is unacceptable that someone can spend months trying to resolve a documentation issue and still be unable to get meaningful assistance or even speak with a supervisor after specifically requesting one. People come to the Social Security Administration because they need help with important matters, and they deserve to be treated respectfully and given clear answers. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences I have had with a government office. I hope management at the Concord location reviews how situations like this are being handled and takes these complaints seriously.

Employees are typical government employees; seem like they couldn't care less about their job, unfriendly, cold. Not rude or anything, just very robotic. Several signs up saying firearms aren't allowed. This is a minor peeve of mine, as the 2nd amendment gives me the right to carry a firearm which SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. There's no law or statute that the sign references, so it looks like it's simply a policy of Contra Costa County, and last I checked, CCC doesn't get to override a federal constitutional law.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker embedded with a police department crisis response team, I want…read moreto recognize the outstanding response by Antioch PD officers during a recent mental health crisis involving a suicidal 13-year-old child. The officers were calm, compassionate, professional, and treated the child with dignity and empathy throughout a very high-risk situation. They quickly recognized the severity of the crisis, requested medical assistance immediately, and maintained remarkable composure during an emotionally intense encounter. In my field, I know how difficult these calls can be, and these officers represented the very best of crisis intervention and public safety. Thank you, Antioch PD, for your professionalism, humanity, and care.
