as a black man I have never met more upstanding or helpful police officers in any department I have…read moreever worked with in both Oregon California and Washington. The officers of this department are another breed. obviously I don't expect them to have the best Yelp reviews because people who write negative reviews about them have often had bad experiences because they were experiencing the worst times in their life when they had to interact with the police. But the fact is that the police are there to protect the citizens and the taxpayers. And Vancouver Police do uphold that. growing up as a black person I was never told that I should fear the police by my parents. In fact I was told the opposite that the police are to be respected. In my 49 years on this Earth I have never had a single problem with the police because of the color of my skin. I have only been pulled over two times in my life and never have gotten a ticket. There is a reason for that. I do not go around selling drugs or anything like that. Vancouver Police are the best for a small town becoming a big Town Police department.

They delay response because they don't believe it to be urgent enough but then delay even further to get more officers enroute for officer safety. So which one is it? Not urgent or urgent? Clearly urgent enough you need 3 police officers but not urgent enough to protect your own citizens. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Your department should be ashamed.

As a recently sworn-in police recruit with a documented history of serious heart conditions and…read moremultiple prior cardiac surgeries, I entered the academy process with both commitment and vulnerability. During training, I experienced alarming symptoms, including tasting blood, and raised concerns about my health. I did not feel there was meaningful follow-up, individualized assessment, or clear coordination to ensure that my medical condition was being fully evaluated in light of the physical and academic demands placed upon me. Given my documented medical history, I found this deeply concerning. Police organizations appropriately hold recruits to high standards of performance, discipline, and accountability. Those same standards of care, communication, and attentiveness to serious medical concerns should apply internally as well. When someone's health, career, and reputation are all at stake simultaneously, there should be a clear and transparent process that prioritizes both readiness and well-being. I hope future recruits with documented medical histories receive thorough, proactive engagement when concerns are raised
