I was the victim of a crime in Mesa, which brought upwards of 20+ police officers to the scene…read more Most of them stood around, casually laughing and bullshitting with each other, doing nothing of any actual value or substance. One of them took my information and said I'd be contacted...that never happened. So I made multiple calls to the station as well as to that specific officer's extension. I left messages, I left voicemails, I requested a return call, and received nothing. Oh, you wanted a copy of the police report? Good luck with that, still waiting.
Straight to the point, this department is completely lacking in professionalism and basic courtesy, but don't worry, you can always find one of Mesa's finest at your local fast food joint loading up for a night of writing citations and generating revenue for the city of Mesa. Before you buy into any of the positive reviews here, try doing a quick search on how many millions of dollars the city has had to pay out in settlements for the misconduct, excessive force, and wrongful death lawsuits that finally caught up to them, that will paint a far more accurate picture.
