When my Mom was still around, she had many 'bouts' with PTSD (she was a WWII immigrant from…read moreGermany) and she often dialed 911 in a state of desperation & worry before it was clear to me what my mom was struggling with In every case of it happening - it was a true relief, at least to me. The officers who showed up were just the best people anyone could have expected to meet. They talked with my mother, stayed with her, waited for my arrival and were incredibly attentive to the situation in a way no one could expected: they were beyond compassionate, asking if I needed anything or if there was anything they could offer to help with - and repeatedly mentioned they'd gladly do a well-ness check any time at all. No matter what anyone might have experienced in 'every-day' interacting with these men & women who put themselves out there on a daily basis, what they did for my Mom and me during what is one of the most difficult ties in life will always be remembered. They were truly amazing, compassionate & caring in every possible way

Domestic Abuse : The Dorchester Police Officers don't care. That is what I have come away with…read morefeeling after seeing a recent series of events in Dorchester. An associate was given a court ordered Restraining Order (POP - 209a) to restrict their partner from contacting them. The subject of the domestic Protection Order has been violating the Order repeatedly, evidence has been obtained and shown to the PD (as required) and they have refused to administer or address these violations. They literally told the party they needed to return to the court to have the details clarified. So we went back to Dorchester Court and they (the administrative office staff) instructed us to return to the PD and the officers there at first refused to take the report to address the issue. When the complainants lawyer told them "NO" that they needed to follow the order, they finally agreed to take the complaint and the information that had been gathered. But this ONLY after calling for a supervisor, being told to wait for them to come to the front desk, would the desk officer accept the report and receive assurance the violator would be served and the issue addressed. This is ridiculous, and would be funny how inept and uncaring the Dorchester Police are, IF this had not been such a dangerous and potential violent circumstance where there is ongoing domestic abuse and a Restraining Order being violated on an on going basis. Who can you go to in Dorchester to actually follow through with enforcing a Judge's court order for domestic abuse??

For the past two years, I've been in regular contact with Officer Wood, Badge No. 4893, at the…read moreJamaica Plain police station. He's the front desk officer, tall, white, skinny, bald. I've been seeking help from said station because I live in a hostile apartment building, right across the street from them. Officer Wood has consistently been rude, visibly agitated by my mere presence every time, and hostile towards me. I am doing nothing wrong. Otherwise, he or one of his colleagues would have disciplined me, but that's never happened. He does not act this way with others. I've seen the difference in his behavior towards others with my own eyes. On Oct. 5th, 2026, when I called Officer Wood out on it, saying he's always irritated with me as soon as he sees my face, he denied it and said he's like this with everyone. Then, he yelled at me and cut me off when I began voicing my pent-up frustration that I had been holding in for 2 years. This moment of pent-up frustration was simply me looking away from the officer and saying that he's always visibly irritated as soon as he sees my face. Now, I was the one visibly irritated and fed up, and my voice was raised slightly, but I was not shouting aggressively. I did not swear or threaten him, and there was no line behind me, so I wasn't obstructing station flow. The station phone was not ringing either. Also, I looked away while venting to ensure I didn't look aggressive or menacing to the officer. I understand officers hold authority, including at the police station, but they are also ordered to be courteous to the public, according to their internal handbook. They shouldn't abuse their authority. Recently, I have been working with a detective at that station to target persistent drug activity in my apt. building. When I calmly asked Officer Wood what time it was and what the date was so that I could write a note for the detective, Wood yelled the answers at me in frustration. This happened on Oct. 5th, and it was the reason I finally called him out on his unprovoked hostility and rudeness. Again, he then gaslit me by saying he's like this with everyone. That right there is an admission from Officer Wood that he knows he's rude to the public and therefore is violating the department policy mandating courtesy to the public. I hate being treated with disrespect from a public servant for no reason, and the disrespect is egregious because I'm being a good citizen and aiding the police in cleaning up the area. That's the only reason I've been in regular contact with this station all this time- to improve the area because it's felt extremely unsafe up until this point. On Oct. 8th, 2026, I walked into the station, asked for Wood's name and Badge No., and again he scowled the answer at me, clearly trying to intimidate me. I said nothing and walked out. Then, I asked OPAT to enforce the courtesy-to-the-public police department policy on the District E-13 station. It's a standard internal rule, and it's very important in ensuring citizens don't feel intimidated when seeking help from the police. The police are here for OUR safety and benefit, after all. P.S. If any officer is upset because they think I leaked info and blew your cover by posting this review, you've had plenty of time to act, I've given you more than enough intel, and my patience has worn thin now. After all, I'm the one who has to live with the problem day-to-day. Better customer service from your station and less-frequent periods of being MIA would result in more patience from civilians. I couldn't bite my tongue any longer.

I called this office of the BPD to make a complaint about an electrician who has been harassing me…read moreafter I put a review on Yelp talking about him not performing the services I paid him for. The woman I spoke to on the phone said I would have to come in in person to do this. When I got there, there were two women sitting at the front desk, one younger one and one older one. I ended up speaking to the older one.  I explained that the electrician I wanted to register a complaint about has called and threatened me repeatedly, and has even come to my building and tried to get me to let him back into my home.  I also received a letter from his lawyer about the Yelp review. The woman at the desk told me that it was probably the electrician's wife who wrote the letter and I should just ignore it.   She also told me I was "just as bad as he was" because I had been updating my review every time he did something new. She told me that the police didn't handle this kind of thing, and that I should stop updating Yelp because the electrician " knows where I live." In her opinion, coming to my house, making repeated threatening phone calls, and impersonating a lawyer are nothing to bother the police about. This woman and whoever it was who told me to come down to the police station displayed quite a lack of concern. I realize that I did not have a violent crime committed against me in this instance, but it is concerning nonetheless, and I was not actually trying to get the police to do anything other than to allow me to put on record what this man has been doing to me. He may escalate his behavior or do something worse to another customer/victim. I didn't think that asking to put something on record was too much to ask, buy I got a very clear message today that it was.

:( For a court that…read moreserves so many communities, this one sure is a BITCH to get to. If I have to use the "Doctors appointment" excuse one more time, my boss is going to think I have terminal illness! With the commute aside, the court isn't all that bad. Constructed in the mid 70s, and furnished with many broken benches and archaic decor, the building is located in the heart of the WORST city, ever. You are about a 3 minute walk to such sites to see as Dunkin Donuts, Family Dollar, and I think there was a store that accepted WIC cards. Dress Code: It is not necessary to show up in your Sunday's best. I decided on a Claiborne suit, and was quite out of place. Basically, there is no need to dress for a black-tie function, if you are ending up at Chuck E. Cheese. Most of the other patrons were dressed in track suits, tank tops, faux Juicy Couture pants, Hooter's t-shirts, and I saw a few ankle bracelets for added flare (/ safety). :( The Staff: The probation officers are sincere and friendly, and the judges seem pretty nice, too (as long as you don't "act a fool" like some of the more aggressive clientele). Also, there is a mean, short woman in the clerk's office. Her and I will NEVER be BFFs. Basically there is no such thing as "guilty" in Massachusetts. You may plead guilty, but they will forgive you, and tell you "no probz. just try not to do it again, plz?" and then you are on your way back to the Red Line for the LONGEST ride home, EVER. I would have given 4 stars if there were a cafeteria present, like the one on TV's 'Night Court'. :'(

The old, out of touch, possibly senile ( is anyone checking?) and inept judges of quincy district…read morecourt need to be put out to Pasture. Here's why. My sister is divorced. She is trying to steal our parents house out from under me. She thinks attaining power of attorney over my senile mother with dementia, Alzheimer's, Would allow her to write me out of the trust which owns the house Well, my father protected me by putting the house in an IRREVOCABLE TRUST, so she can't do that. But what she could do was write up a bunch of lies on a paper to read in court presenting me as someone who would hurt or endanger my own Mother. Well, my sister JANICE M. is a DEAF woman, and removing me from my mother's life has hurt her more than I ever would. Because I would NEVER. My mother needed lots of care and conversation to maintain the sense she had. Human interaction is the best thing for Alzheimer's patients. NOT LEAVING THEM ALONE MOST THE DAY IN A DARK ROOM. And the Inept Judge I stood before did Not Allow me to speak in my defense AT ALL as the transcripts would show . The transcripts will also show that when asked my mother didn't even know she had a restraining order against me. Because it was signed into existence without me even knowing or being served. I was never allowed to contest or defend myself . I watched, as my mother called me David, ( that's my cousin) and smiled at me, saying " I have a restraining order against my son? I never see him" Then the court asked her if she was afraid of me. MY MOTHER. Then I watched my sister tell her what to say and have the courts extend the order a year. Then without me, again, they met with the court and extended it four years My mother is gone SO IS MY SISTER MISTER CLERK OF QUINCY DISTRICT COURT. AND , for the fraudulent papers you have filed against me, I say Liar The judge who signed them is a scab. Take his robe and hammer he knows no upholding of justice because before God I identify him as a failure to the Bench. So mister Clerk magistrate. You can get a tampon for your judges menstruating heart. It ain't bleeding enough for two. But you can tell him he can set up some kind of anything to take care of my fat ass repulsive excuse for a human, Janimal Elaine, when she gets older and fatter, ( it's right around the corner , Sir) Because she has no husband no kids and no other family to take care of her. No one in this world will love her and take care of her in her old age like her brother would have But you cut his throat, with lies and fraud. So she is ALONE. ALONE as she is now when she's looking for someone Else to wipe her mothers ass for once At least I don't have to. I'm declaring the fraudulent restraining order by dirty quincy court judges a retro active abortion contract. I will inno way share any responsibility of my former family, or their debts. I will be in court with a lawyer to dismiss the meritless R.O. And I will vow never to look my sister or mother in the eye again. They can stay away from me. I'll force an arbitration sale of the house when mother dies. Janimal and I will lose so much money. That's what happens when people can't talk like adults Court gets involved, sells to first lowest bidder. Jan loses. I'm retired. I'm fine This hurts her. Good going quincy court. WRONG AGAIN. by the way, the court cases of mine which u used to form BIAS against me, was DISMISSED. because that was a LIE TOO, which made Braintree police look like a bunch of idiots. Especially BRIAN CAHOON. thanks for talking to me like a man Brian. ( You didn't ) And your brother ran away to hide. (Cough' cough)

Only in Massachusetts could you take a big barn with a leaking flat roof, spend $50M, wait 4 years…read moreand end up with a big barn with a leaking slanted roof, and call it a T station. The project is years behind schedule and millions of dollars over budget and there's no end in sight. The north entrance has a nice new plaza which is really just a glorified skate park and you still have to travel to the south entrance to get in. Along the way you get no shelter from the elements except a flimsy piece of plastic tarp overhead for part of the walkway. But you do get to pass by a T worker in his heated office 'monitoring' the buses. Glad to see he's warm. Once you do make it to the south entrance you'll see the Charlie Card machines have a new makeshift shelter built over them after they were thoroughly soaked during a recent storm. Great ingenuity, but wouldn't it be better to fix the hole in the roof instead? Crazy talk I know. Favorite part of any trip to Ashmont Station though has to be the 'customer service' staff. If they do decide to leave their little booth and brave the same elements they subject us riders to, they are usually found being rude and unhelpful or standing by while people fare-hop at will. I'm a big fan of public transportation, but the MBTA needs to get their act together and finish Ashmont Station already. The neighborhood has put up with it long enough and deserves better.
