As a recently sworn-in police recruit with a documented history of serious heart conditions and…read moremultiple prior cardiac surgeries, I entered the academy process with both commitment and vulnerability. During training, I experienced alarming symptoms, including tasting blood, and raised concerns about my health. I did not feel there was meaningful follow-up, individualized assessment, or clear coordination to ensure that my medical condition was being fully evaluated in light of the physical and academic demands placed upon me. Given my documented medical history, I found this deeply concerning. Police organizations appropriately hold recruits to high standards of performance, discipline, and accountability. Those same standards of care, communication, and attentiveness to serious medical concerns should apply internally as well. When someone's health, career, and reputation are all at stake simultaneously, there should be a clear and transparent process that prioritizes both readiness and well-being. I hope future recruits with documented medical histories receive thorough, proactive engagement when concerns are raised

as a black man I have never met more upstanding or helpful police officers in any department I have…read moreever worked with in both Oregon California and Washington. The officers of this department are another breed. obviously I don't expect them to have the best Yelp reviews because people who write negative reviews about them have often had bad experiences because they were experiencing the worst times in their life when they had to interact with the police. But the fact is that the police are there to protect the citizens and the taxpayers. And Vancouver Police do uphold that. growing up as a black person I was never told that I should fear the police by my parents. In fact I was told the opposite that the police are to be respected. In my 49 years on this Earth I have never had a single problem with the police because of the color of my skin. I have only been pulled over two times in my life and never have gotten a ticket. There is a reason for that. I do not go around selling drugs or anything like that. Vancouver Police are the best for a small town becoming a big Town Police department.

Who knew I would review a police department - especially when I do not live here! I definitely do…read morenot like to need the police but was so grateful. This experience made me more likely to reach out to the police. I do delivery driving and prefer to work through the middle of the night because I genuinely feel safer. During the day people order from apartments that have no where you can safely pull over with all the cars. The cars on the road are excessive and aggressive. The people you drop to barely tip yet are very rude. Nighttime is the opposite usually and most deliveries are just to nice people who work late like security or laboratories. I get lots of houses all over town and have the joke to please get stoned and order but stay conscious to leave your porch light on at least. 230am I get a Taco Bell pickup and drive it over to a very lovely Lake Oswego house with a large solid magnetic gate with a fancy keypad and voice. They left the code saying to just leave the food and here's the entry code. Cool, through the gate, drop food and take the photo. I went to leave and was very confused as there is zero trigger to get back out. I looked and looked. I tried the text to customer and calling the customer. The house has zero signs of life and Ubereats customer service was ridiculously unhelpful. I called the non emergency line for Lake Oswego and the very kind dispatcher and I chatted - she really made me feel better. I do not like being trapped and there was a one foot space under the gate I even tried to see if maybe I could squeeze under but nope. I thought the police would take forever, not take me seriously or something... I made a lot of assumptions as I was genuinely a bit scared and distressed feeling helpless and trapped. I was in shock as to how fast the police arrived - seriously it could not have been even five minutes after she said she was able to dispatch someone. He was so kind, went right to the keypad to enter the code (I seriously will never forget this person's gate code!!!) and the amount of relief hearing that magnetic lock unhinge...I resisted the VERY strong urge to run straight into his arms. I wanted to shake his hand while thanking him and seriously hearing him say his first name versus that authoritarian attitude you expect was so nice. Also, him giving me their number and stating that since I am over there delivering hopefully I don't need them but that they are definitely there if I do.
