Illegal immigrants get more rights than U.S. military veterans. My daughter was involved in an…read moreaccident with a lady who is not a legal resident in the U.S., she was driving without a driver's license, no resident card, just a Mexican passport. The police officer, badge number 2731, a rookie, who had no idea on how to handle the incident. The lady was telling my daughter and I not to call the police, but since the accident was on Hwy 316, a cop pulled over and made a report of the incident. The lady was telling my daughter and I, that she had an issue and had to attend court. The cop took the information, gave her a ticket and let her go. Yes, it was my daughter's fault, however, as a police officer knowing that she had no legal resident card in the U.S., he just let her go, then 2 weeks later, she is trying to fraud my insurance by saying she has an injury in the accident, which never complaint of any pain, and her car was barely damaged. Like I said, the police here much rather protect the illegal immigrants instead of the U.S. military veterans. This is a dam shame on the police department.

So even the desk was closing. So when this happens what goes on now. I waited over an hour for an officer to arrive to take a police report yesterday.

I have no contact number or email for anyone. Yet all I want to do is amend the report. There must be a better system to this.

It was less than 1 mile from their dispatch location in Tucker. Not to mention that the responding officer called me for directions because he was at "a different location". What? It took 2-1/2 hours to "investigate" a 2-car fender-bender because, as the responding officer said to me, he was confused about what happened and had to call someone for help and explain to him what to do. Seriously? Shouldn't this have been covered in "Vehicle Accidents 101" at the Police Academy? More importantly, if he can't figure out his GPS, and if he doesn't know how to investigate a simple 2-car accident, should he really have a gun?

I…read moreemailed the Police Department and my inquiry about ride-alongs was forwarded to the Assistant. Chief. He responded back to me via email pretty promptly and provided me with the forms that I needed to get the ball rolling. The first set of forms is to authorize a background check. The next set consists of release and permission waivers. Once the paperwork clears, the department then contacts you via email to schedule your ride time. Once your requested time is approved you report to the police department at the approved time. The typical ride-along lasts for 4 hours. When I reported to the designated check-in area on my scheduled date and time, I was asked to be seated until the Supervisor on duty came out with my assigned ride-along officer and further instruction. In about 2 minutes (or less) I was greeted by 3 officers; one of which was the officer that I was assigned to ride with, Officer Hidalgo. Before leaving the station, one of the three officers, Lieutenant Waasdorp, briefly went over some basic safety rules and instructions and then Officer Hidalgo and I were off. I rode with Officer Hidalgo as he responded to a couple of calls until he was called back to the station to be reassigned to another incident that required his assistance. I was then assigned to Officer Quarless. Both Officers Hidalgo & Quarless were GREAT! They did an excellent job explaining the process to me (what the radio call codes mean, what the incident reports entail, some of the procedures followed for specific types of calls) as I observed the way that they responded to the various situations that came up. They also were very thorough in answering questions that I had as I observed, and about things in general as a community resident. I really enjoyed this experience. I've always had a great appreciation for what the police do day-to-day to keep our communities safe that we as citizens sometimes take for granted. After this experience, I have an even greater understanding and appreciation of what a 'day in the life' of a cop in the field actually looks like. In today's climate of strained police and community relations due to a seemingly overwhelming amount of reports of police brutality, unjustified shootings, etc., it was refreshing to see firsthand that there are still good cops out there who truly just want to protect and serve in hopes that their efforts make a difference in the community. More importantly, (at least based on my interactions with the police in general and with MY local police department) I feel confident that these 'good' cops out-number the 'bad' ones. All in all, I appreciate that the department made my ride-along request a relatively simple and swift process to complete, and my experience an overall enjoyable and informative one. Thank you Assistant Chief Beller, Lieutenant Waasdorp, Officer Hidalgo, and Officer Quarless for taking the time out to educate and for getting me out and back safely!

I am writing this review after an extremely frustrating experience attempting to report what I…read morebelieve was a legitimate criminal matter involving my dogs, O.C.G.A. §16-10-20. In May 2025, my ex-wife refused to return my dogs to me and later falsely informed the DeKalb County Animal Shelter that I had died while deployed. I did not discover this until October 2025, when I received the official paperwork from the shelter. Upon learning this information, I immediately contacted the non-emergency line to file a police report. Unfortunately, the dispatcher I spoke with was dismissive, rude, and openly attempted to determine on her own what constituted a criminal matter versus a civil issue before a report was even taken. She also never identified herself during the call. After several months of repeated attempts to obtain assistance, I finally received a callback from Officer Brandon White. He reluctantly took my report and contacted me one time afterward, stating he had contacted dispatch and was heading to the shelter. After that, I never heard from him again despite multiple follow-up emails over the course of several months. Due to the lack of response, I escalated the matter through the chain of command and contacted Deputy Andrianne Byrd, providing documentation regarding the incident and the absence of investigative follow-up. I did not receive a response from Deputy Byrd. Lieutenant Guy Antinozzi later left me a voicemail, but despite returning his call three times and leaving two voicemail messages, I never received a callback. As of today, I still have not received meaningful communication or resolution from this department. My concern is not simply the outcome of the case, but the complete lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability throughout the process. Based on my experience, the level of responsiveness and follow-through from this agency has been deeply disappointing.
