Carol Stream Police Department - I had no idea the police are excluded from the "no parking" ordinance while having lunch! And yes, he was eating, not working.

My only experience with the Carol Stream Police Department until this year was when I had several…read morefalse alarms with my security system. However, I did, unfortunately, need to turn to them at the beginning of the year for a more serious matter. To protect and respect the privacy of all those involved in the matter I won't get into details of the situation. This review is based upon my direct dealings with the officers and staff only. I found the officers and staff to be very responsive to my needs and showed their caring and compassion for my well-being while maintaining the utmost professionalism. I am truly thankful for all the help they gave me when I needed it most.

Unbelievable. I was driving on Lies and an undercover blew a stop sign at an intersection halfway…read moreinto the right turn lane. I had to hit the horn and swerve to avoid hitting him. Rather than acting rational, this "officer" sped up behind me, tailgates me, and then cut me off and sped up to nearly twice the speed limit without emergency lights on. Had myself or any non-leo done this we would have been arrested for reckless driving. All they do is sit on north avenue and lies in their speed traps. God forbid anyone go 10 mph over in on a three lane highway or industrial back road, yet they use this intimidation? Disgusting thugs! We will be moving out of this township soon and you will not be getting any more of our tax money. You ignore school zones and residences to capitalize on your shady tactics. This department needs to be audited and defunded!

I would generally like to think of myself as a law abiding citizen; however, I am known for having…read morea bit of a lead foot. :) That said, I have had two run-ins with the Glen Ellyn Police Department. One has been positive, while the other was frankly obnoxious. -- Negative (Obnoxious) Experience -- A few months ago I was attending an all-day Professional Development Workshop at the District 87 Office (directly next door to Glenbard West). I had parked on Crescent in front of Glenbard West for the duration of the workshop (7:30-2:30), and was surprised to come back at 2:30 to find THREE parking citations on my windshield, totalling $75. Three. 3. Three?! Seriously?! A bit overzealous, dontchathink?! (Note that I had signed in with my vehicle information with the District and notified them that I was parked in front of West. I was also told that the Glen Ellyn Police Department was informed of our workshop, so I did not anticipate any parking issues.) Two of the citations noted I had Glenbard Staff stickers on my vehicle (and even referenced the parking # assigned to me..) so clearly the officer was aware I was a District employee. Flabbergasted, I contacted the District 87 Office, who resolved my tickets. Meanwhile, my stunned coworkers and boss shared that there is a GE police officer who is notorious for issuing frivolous parking citations. News to me, but apparently he's infamous! (..erm? Not sure why his superiors haven't stepped in..) What a jerk. This was obviously a 1-star experience. -- Positive Experience -- Fast-forward to two weeks ago. I was on my way to work and was pulled over for going a bit over the posted limit on St. Charles. (Sh!!ttt!) Officer #37 (? I think) pulled me over and was actually very pleasant from the get-go, asking me if I had any previous citations and telling me if I didn't, he'd let me go with a warning. Of course I was truthful, and he kept his word, issuing me a written warning. The whole thing took about 8-10 minutes. It's not that I'm thankful I was "let off"; it's the simple fact that I was treated kindly and respectfully. To be honest, I have NEVER had a positive interaction with a police officer until this point - not once in 18 years of driving! (My largest "crimes" have been enjoying slightly modded cars [read: legal tints and a fart can at worst]. And, like I said, slight speeding.) So, thank you Officer #37. I appreciate that you treated me as a human being and NOT a ticket quota (nor an example), which you easily could have.

This review is only for one interaction. My child found a cell phone and we went to the police…read morestation to turn it in. The woman sitting at the desk asked for my child's name which, my child is a minor, why are you trying to collect identifiable information for a child? I wouldn't provide the information and then the woman starts into a rather aggressive interrogation.... In any event, way to make a child feel like a criminal for turning in a found phone.

As a victim of a crime I can say the 2 gentlemen officers sent to the HOSPITAL room were…read moreprofessional, courteous, kind, helpful and clear with suggestions. Too bad for me the jurisdiction was in a different county. Believe me dealing with the polar opposite and TRYING to find the wheels of justice, let alone get them to spin. It's too bad TimY you were hassled for something so small. Mine was BIG & they were great. Maybe the ages of the officers made a difference, maybe not but If someone you love is hurt in Winfield, you'll find a department whose priority is safety and justice, not how to make their jobs easier, more secure or less intrusive on quiet time at the office.

What a bunch of buffoons…read more 3 of them came at me with their guns drawn as I am doing home improvements on my house at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon. My next-door neighbor, who is 108 years old, blind as a bat and lost his marbles years ago, called 911 to say there was "a stranger" in my backyard. I was the stranger. I lived there for 8 years. The morons drew on me not recognizing that the 108 year old blind man couldn't see 2 feet in front of his face let alone across into my backyard. One of them yelled "get down" Another one yelled "don't move" The third yelled "get your hands up" Moe, Larry and Curly. They thought I was breaking into my own house because the blind man told them so. Great investigative work. Anyway, I left Winfield when I realized I am being protected by clowns. I moved to a state where exercising my second amendment rights are allowed....now I can protect myself.

Let's address the unprofessional conduct of one of your officers arriving at a MVA yesterday…read moreevening at the intersection of Roosevelt road and President Street. I was on scene when the above accident occurred and immediately pulled into the gas station and was informed that emergency personnel were contacted. I then proceeded to help secure the scene until emergency personnel arrived and verifying their were no serious injuries involved. I pulled into the adjacent bank parking lot and went to the intersection and still observed no emergency personnel. I then assisted in clearing some of the waiting traffic at the intersection until I heard sirens of emergency personnel approaching from both the south, fire/ambulance and west police. I proceeded to stop all pending traffic in all directions because of emergency traffic approaching from multiple directions and didn't want any vehicles entering the intersection. After assuring police and fire/ambulance personnel got positioned. I moved myself out of the way when I was aggressively approached by a Wheaton police officer demanding i get off the street out of the investigation blah blah blah. I then got on the sidewalk and again he started getting aggressive with his demeanor with me telling me to leave even though I was definitely far enough and in no way interfering with his non investigating investigation as the injured parties were conversing with medical staff. As he was not happy with my location he ILLEGALLY RAN MY CAR PLATES THAT WERE PARKED IN A PRIVATE LOT. I was on private property now. 2 other officers came over and I spoke of my displeasure and his I feel gestapo tactics when I was out there on scene making sure him and all his emergency personnel got to the scene safely. Only reason for the 2 stars was the 2 other officers that spoke with me at my car otherwise it would be 0 stars.
