For the most part the Redmond Police I feel do a good job. We do not have enough patrols in the…read moreareas of south heights. We get people doing over 40 mph in our 25 mph zone during the morning and evening commutes. Repeatedly asked for police coverage. Yet told we are not alone and they do not have time for it. The High school aged drivers from Ridgeview are as bad as the commuters as well. It seems as though they need something serious to happen before they will care enough to put a stop to it. So I rate them very poor for not protecting and not serving our community.

Honestly, Oregon drivers are on another level of reckless. Tonight a car blasted through the Whole…read moreFoods parking lot doing at least 60 mph--like pedestrians don't even exist. Yesterday it was a different car, swerving right next to me twice because the driver was in some huge rush to grab a DoorDash order. And it's not just once in a while--this stuff happens constantly. People here run into you while you have the walk signal. They turn right into crosswalks without even looking. Half of them are on their phones, zoned out, or acting like basic traffic rules don't apply to them. And somehow every single one of these people has a driver's license. It's insane. It's dangerous. And it's exhausting trying to walk anywhere without almost getting hit ten times a day. You'd think the police would crack down on it, but they don't. This state has some of the worst enforcement and some of the least aware drivers I've ever seen. It feels like nobody is actually paying attention, and pedestrians are the ones stuck dealing with the consequences.

I've had repeated interactions with the Bend Police Department while living unhoused in this city…read more In my experience, many of these contacts have felt unwarranted and intrusive. Officers have approached me without clear cause, asked questions that felt more like intimidation than community policing, and at times have seemed to be monitoring my movements. As someone exercising my constitutional rights, this has been upsetting. Being homeless should not automatically make a person a suspect or a target for harassment. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and fairness regardless of housing status. I hope the Bend Police Department will review its practices toward unhoused residents, provide more training on constitutional rights and respectful engagement, and focus on real community safety rather than repeated contacts that feel like harassment. Harassment is a crime, and so is stalking. This police department is involved in both!

After the GPS target started moving, a small car chase ensued all the way out to the highway, and the Sargent pulled over three (!) cars. The phone was retrieved, justice was served, and our family has quite the story to take home with us. Thanks Sargent Joe, you rock!!
