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 been all over, never seen a police department like this. I can only speak for myself of…read morecourse and what my experience has been with Kerrville Police Department. The officers are kind and understanding. Couple of years ago, someone stole my electric bicycle I made. They would not get far because I kept the battery packs indoors when not in use. I reported it right away when I woke up to find someone broke through the chain and taken it. The officer came over and took details, to be honest I thought they would not try. It cost over a thousand dollars to make. Few days later I get a phone call from the same officer telling me he found it. WOW! Another time my wife and I called the police because someone was acting strange outside around 1:00AM. Next thing we know a police car is driving through slowly. When I meet them in person or have a question to ask, they are kind and friendly. One of the pros living in Kerrville is the police department here. High moral fiber, down to earth officers.

Let me preface this by being honest. I was a law enforcement officer for 2 decades in the 80's and…read more90's. Back then you took pride in being a officer. You were a part of the community and knew how to treat people. Not so in this nice town. The local police are arrogant, totally rude and have no idea how to serve a community. Several local cops only know how to do one thing, run radar and write tickets. They wouldn't have a clue how to investigate a felony and help the community. I have been in Kerrville a long time and have had great relationships with the officers over the years, Being a retired officer you always feel a part of a brotherhood. Not in Kerrville. This is the most clanish isolated PD I have ever seen. They spend most of their time looking down their nose at people and only work traffic. It's sad because today more than ever they need to connect with the community. I have connections with the local JP's, the S.O. and several other agencies. They all say the same. Kerrville PD is lacking a professional standard. Their reputation has gone downhill the last 20 years. Just keep doing the easy stuff, writing tickets boys and see how many real crimes you can solve.

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.

Public Safety! Goooooo Roadrunners!…read more This police department protects and serves the University of Texas at San Antonio. They do a good job of policing the campus, and keeping things safe. Fortunately, the only run in I've had with the UTSA Police was when I got a parking ticket for parking in the wrong lot- I was late, and I was guilty. Even though I had temporary paper plates, the UTSA Police Department was able to hunt me down and present me with the infraction, which I duly paid. The UTSA Police also offers security escorts- if you have to walk out to your car in some distant lot all alone after a night class, they'll happily escort you out there, or give your car a jump. They carry special jumper cables for such a need. I've never seen thing go down on the UTSA campus, probably thanks to the UTSA Police, but I read about things happening occasionally on campus, and it seems that the UTSA Police have been quick to step in and restore the peace.

I asked the officer, a Hispanic male if he would please come back with me to view the camera. He refused. It would have only taken him three minutes to drive there. He had the nerve to ask me what took me so long to report the theft. I told him, it was only two days and since my phone was stolen along with my credit card I had to prioritize placing a hold on my account and finding a friend to let me borrow their phone. He told me he wouldn't go back because the tapes were "probably" erased by then. I later asked the manager "Mo" how long the tapes are kept and he said three days, which would have been ample time. Normally, I am pro police because four members of my family were in law enforcement, but this punk cop didn't get off his lazy behind to try to assist me at all. All I got was a case number. He could have been the hero and caught the thief, but oh no. He couldn't care less and he couldn't be bothered to assist a tax paying citizen. No wonder people don't trust the cops. I have a negative view of them now. They are not employed to "serve and protect". This particular cop was totally worthless. I guess if I were wealthy , there would have been a different outcome. What a waste of my time and effort. I was very distraught over being robbed and then not getting ANY assistance from a public servant who could have at least taken three minutes flat to drive to the store! Disgraceful. I DO NOT recommend asking these police officers for help! There should be more accountability. No wonder people don't want to help the cops, they don't help us.
