After filing up with diesel at Bucees (I-35 & FM 306) yesterday afternoon around 5:30-6 pm, my…read moretruck wouldn't start. Initially, I went into Bucees and asked if there were anyone there that could help jumpstart my truck. Unfortunately, they were unable to accommodate and suggested that I look around for someone that was currently at the pumps. I saw a NBPD vehicle and approached the officer there who was on the phone. He said he would be right with me, but apparently called someone to come see what I needed. Very soon, another officer was there and asked what I needed. I told him that I needed a "jump" for my truck. He said that NBP were not allowed to use their vehicles to "jumpstart" other vehicles as it was a liability issue. I told him thank you and started to walk back to my truck when a 3rd NBPD Officer drove up next to me and asked if I needed a "jumpstart". I said, "Yes, but I didn't think you were allowed to." He said, we are not, but I have my own little gadget that I bought on Amazon prime day and was able to jumptstart a diesel ambulance a couple of days ago, I could try your truck if you like. Of course, I said, "sure".... within less than a minute, my truck (that has 2 batteries) started. I was SO excited, I thanked him and asked if I could take a picture of his gadget as I thought I might buy one to keep handy. He was happy to let me. I do have his name, but don't want to get him in trouble just in case he was not allowed to help.....rules are crazy these days. However, I want to let him know that I really appreciate his chivalry and willingness to help. I have 2 brother-in-laws in law enforcement and I know they would have done the same. Glad to know there are Police Officers out there that really do "Protect and Serve". THANK YOU so much. Quick suggestion...maybe NBPD should pick up a few of these gadgets so their officers can help out in these types of situations.

You're cruising through Alamo Heights on a blustery, wintry evening in November. You've just…read moretreated yourself to a six-course dégustation at an eatery worthy of at least two Michelin stars. The Euro Disco trash masterpiece "Satan in Love" (La Bellini, 1979*) is your soundtrack. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, emergency vehicle lights appear in your rear-view mirror. "Egads!," you cry. "What did I do?! Was I doing 31 in a 30?! Did I unknowingly run a stop sign? Did a cop spot the red and green putrefying liquids oozing out of my trunk?!" I'm sure you can relate. On the evening of November 29th, 2018, The Mysterious Ryan M. was pulled over for the first time in his life. The AHPD officer couldn't have been nicer. He assured me that I had broken no laws but that one of my brake lights was out. After running my driver's license through SCMODS ("State, County, Municipal Offender Data System" -- thank you, Elwood), he confirmed that I was an upstanding citizen and let me off with a warning. I thanked him for alerting me to the problem (a dangerous one at that), because I wouldn't have known otherwise. He could have issued me a $200 citation, but his MO was to help, not to harass. The Alamo Heights Police Department gets a bad rap. Instead of making baseless claims about their character or labeling them the "worst police force in America," (shame on you, Julie R.) how about simply obeying the traffic laws? If a cop pulls you over for speeding, take personal responsibility for the infraction and thank the officer for doing his or her part to keep Alamo Heights safe. Then resume listening to "Satan in Love." * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ysPir3wqgw

Honestly, now. How many times have you cursed the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit in Alamo Heights -…read moreor worse, the Alamo Heights Police Department, as an officer ticketed you for exceeding that ridiculously sluggish speed? Well, today I had a very positive interaction with those maligned keepers-of-the-peace-and-speed-limit, and subsequently just HAD to Yelp about it! This morning, my vehicle stalled while I was on my way to a haircut appointment. A suddenly disabled car is upsetting enough; but add to that, a very busy time - about 8:30 a.m. - at a very busy intersection (Austin Highway at Broadway), and you have an adrenaline rush of the worse kind. I had my hazard lights blinking, and people were swerving around me - probably saying nasty things under their breath - as I tried to call for emergency towing. Lo, out of the blue came uno, dos, tres Alamo Heights Police officers: one blocked traffic while the others pushed - and I steered - the car across traffic, safely into a parking lot! In addition, the officers checked up on me from time-to-time until the tow truck showed up, nearly an hour later! Now, it has occurred to me that they might have wanted to keep tabs on ME, to make sure I didn't just abandon my vehicle - or cause other mischief while I was awaiting transport (never can be too careful with fat middle-aged women, right?). I'm going to assume the very best, though, and suppose that these dedicated public servants are also Good Samaritans, who were concerned about a citizen's welfare. So, a heart-felt "THANK YOU" to the city of Alamo Heights, the Alamo Heights Police Department, and - most especially - my three rescuers. And I promise to grumble less, from this point forward, when I have to observe the Alamo Heights speed limit.

I have two cases that have never been addressed. One was entered into system assigned to civilian…read moreassistant to then APD COP. The other was entered as a case but bungled so miserably they lost notarized , written testimonial evidence. The exact type of evidence is REAL WRITTEN DOCUMENTARY evidence that demands protection during receipt, storage, transfer , disposition and disposal. The OPO is a duplicate office of the APD internal affairs but a far less competent and far below satisfactory performing agency. But the APD internal affairs cant be trusted to investigate dirty police. That is why the city commits waste and abuse duplicating agency in place office. The OPO lost the evidence , then fabricated excuses , then lied but have said im " banned " from the building. Banned is comparable to a rock song from guns and roses. Banned due to words used and verb-age. This is only introduction. There is plenty meat to outrage over. Pending At this point i have 2 open case with the city of Austin Office of Police Oversite. 10/20/22 my pov was towed from a paid parking space. It was on my Chase Bank debit card. I was assigned a case worker and to date there has been no official response to why my pov was towed despite paid to park status. Led Zeppelin would say "Its been a long time since I rock and rolled." But in thos case with Austin OPO ots just 3 years due. Back to case number 2. I slight storm entered and left the 78750. Im driving my 2008 Dodge south between Lake Creek and Spicewood Springs Im in my own lane and stayed there. From behind i am hit by late model Cadillac Denali. Right away the driver is trying to evade contact. I get out of my pov at great risk and locate white in color SUV. That is how i will refer to at fault vehicle going forward. I make contact with 60-65 yoa white man with his window down. He agrees to meet in strip mall parking lot. Ive snapped a picture of his tag and have my documents in hand. I get close enough to observe a heavy odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from his person. I am dialing 911. As his breath knocks me over , he starts his car and is leaving. The 911 operator tells me " no police available and orders me NOT TO FOLLOW. The driver gets away. The city of Austin has a responsibility to man 911 with trained competent emergency operators. They do not, did not and will not. 911 tracks all police officers 24/7 and know exacting location of all on duty police. Its not even a new technology. Its been around for decades. There is an officer on scene at a less priority call that can break free and look for two tons of steel on wheels operated by a drunk. That is a weapon that will /can/would/might wipe out you and family. The entire handling of this has been a ridiculous escapade of emergency service failure. I completed a APD affidavit issued to me by OPO. I got it notarized and took it to the OPO. I hand delivered to OPO and went on my way. No receipt was issued and that was OPO failure 1. A piece of notarized affidavit issued a written piece of real evidence . It requires a CHAIN OF CUSTODY. The mishandling of evidence brings instant credibility issues to the OPO. The unwillingness to do a job as assigned and required by a civilian assistant to then COP Chacon is unacceptable and stands alone on its own dis merit. Janet Jackson is performing superstar. She is from my hometown. Its only reason I know who the administrative assistant that wont do her job a few years ago. Right away I experienced barriers to effective communication from the OPO. On two separate instances , i drove to OPO and made contact with front desk. It was summer and I was advised the office was closed due to AC issues. Yet most or some other offices were open. I really dont know much else at this point. The next time I went to the OPO I eas advised the affidavit was lost /misplaced/thrown away or discarded with no known location available. Never again did I come aware the OPO ever had the paperwork. This has transpired pver a few years and I KNOW THAT DUI fatal accidents proliferate on the streets and highways of Austin, Texas. Its going on NOW. My car was total loss. Never recovering at all from impact of felony hit and run primarily SCREWED up by 911 dispatcher upon initial report. During first year of my case the OPO director was tired of dealing with me and i was advised by front security desk that am banned Director Ellis was advised of my intent and presence and came dowm out of his own office in person. Ellis is a veteran USMarshall agent. He should absolutely know how to receive, safeguard, process, transfer and dispose of REAL DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. But Ellis took wasted LEO resource and called on duty APD to trespass me. The APD arrived on scene and DID NOT TRESPASS ''me because he is street cop and know im not there as hobby. Official business

It's like this, I applied the first time around 7/24 and my app took too long. Specifically I had a…read morespeeding ticket I had to rectify, so that made sense. I also already had issues with this app because 1) I didn't fill the app out right. 2) the chick SAPD had as a detective on my app is an ego driven moron, Jessica alvoet. We discussed my app ad nauseam and she acknowledged many others submit lackluster apps so I'd need to correct mine. Clearly that's too much for her ego to handle bc she seemed like she had a rod shoved up hers during those interactions correcting the app. I submitted the second app 8/25/25 and interviewed with her in November. While I'm able to set aside animosity towards ppl, views and the like during a professional encounter, she is wholly incapable of separating her feelings from these matters and proved SAPD has no good reason to keep her as a det. We sat down and discussed my apps for 3 hours. If you can't fully scrutinize 2 apps in 3 hrs, ur awful at ur job and should be reassigned elsewhere. Part of the reason she took 3 hrs was bc she beat a dead horse asking why I lied about certain things, which is where another breakdown occurred. I didn't lie. She evidently can't comprehend there can be multiple reasons for a given action. To my best recollection, she claimed I was guilty of misrepresenting my arrest record and therefore not taking responsibility for my misdeeds. I asked how I'm responsible for being arrested when I did nothing wrong. I asked how I'm culpable when the arrests were constantly bogus. An example, I was arrested for violating probation in TN. When I went to court, I took the evidence that I fully complied with the court order, and the charges were dropped. Her conclusion was I refuse to take responsibility. How am I responsible when the probation idiot in TN proved he's a moron. Maybe these 2 morons are related, I guess. Ultimately I planned for the interview not to take more than 3 hours and had to return my car so my friend could go to work, otherwise he'd be fired. So I told Jess that and she threw a hiss fit and actually tried debating me on the issue. I didn't realize keeping ur word was such a problem for SAPD. Had I known that having integrity was an issue with them, I probably wouldn't have applied. She threatened to close my app and my point to her was I had a commitment to honor and even reminded her that we had been going at it more than 3 hours! If that's a problem for u, maybe ur the issue, not me. I left and after a couple months of silence, I got the notice that they've permanently barred me from SAPD for lying on my app. Now, the military has opened its arms for me. Imagine that, the feds are happy to take me but a lowly city PD says I lie too much! Far as I can tell the jokes write themselves! Clearly Jess shouldn't be a pig w SAPD. She is why ppl disparage pigs constantly.
