So when he did not come home after 4 hours and his phone went straight to VM, I became frantic. I called Cobb county and kept calling and the same deputy would answer every time and I knew I was probably bugging the shit outta him but he was so calm and helped me find out what I needed to know and just such a gentleman about it. Kudos to deputy or officer Roslee. I hope I spelled that right. Listen there are parents like me who need to know how their kids are, no matter how old they are. Roslee made the situation so much better by just caring.

There seems to be a problem with police in the Acworth-Kennesaw area…read more Once saw a guy on the ground with a bloody nose with like 4 cops over him. Something about it felt like excessive force and too aggressive. It still makes my stomach turn thinking about it. A female cop who seemed untrained and too emotional, came down too aggressively on a girl with a mental disability. Wish I filed a complaint. That was enough for me to look at cops very differently now. Looking at other reviews, it seems discrimination is common. They can't deescalate a situation to save their lives; not helping victims and sweeping others under the rug. It's very clear, cops here make me feel more unsafe. To add: ALWAYS VIDEOTAPE THEM AND BE VERY PUBLIC WITH YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH THEM!!!!! People pretend to be civil when they know a camera in their face or when others will see their bad behavior. Do this for your protection, especially if you are alone. Otherwise, they act like low-brow, power hungry thugs when they feel like they can do what they want. Always report and complaint, God doesn't like ugly.

No reviews on this place?

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 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.

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.

The message from the Commissioner reads: "Simply put, our mission is to protect and serve all…read moreGeorgia citizens through effective and efficient offender supervision in our communities, while providing opportunities for successful outcomes." PROTECT and SERVE: I would like to understand the department's definition of these words. Since what I experienced and have since learned about the supervision conducted by a "Mental Health Probation Officer Specialist" fit no such definition as defined in any dictionary! A recent incident should have NEVER happened had the probation officer known her job description and adhered to a Judge's court order which detailed probation conditions: "The defendant is to obtain mental health treatment at his own expense and as directed by probation officer." (Typed in BOLDED letters) She directed NOTHING for a probationer diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder depressed type (with delusions). The probationer is a just as much a victim of this officer's gross negligence as I am. Who among us are allowed to ignore a Judges court order - personally or professionally? Anyone? Please tell me if you have and how. Because this is the FIRST I've ever heard of someone getting away with it. .

Right in the heart of Marietta is this great venue, Cobb County Civic Center. It's not too large,…read moreit is wheelchair accessible, has an elevator inside, and parking is free. The entrance fee depends on the event that is going on. The parking lot is large so you can just park outside the venue and walk into the building. Through the years, I have attended, Gem Shows, International Festivals, Christmas Markets and Gun Shows. The venue is just right size for me, and not too large, so you do not have to wear yourself out by walking miles in a huge Exchibition Hall like the Omni in Atlanta. There are two levels inside. Sometimes the exhibitors are presenting their products in both stories. Other times, like the last Expo I attended had vendors only on the bottom floor. This is an older building but still well maintained and clean. There are restrooms upstairs and downstairs, you just have to look for them. Of course, how much you will enjoy the event you are attending depends on your interests and the organisors. I would highly recommend this place. There has always been Cobb County police present for security.
