I was completely honest with them, accepted the breathalization test, and passed with flying colors. They both exemplified what it truly means to be men of the Law, in that they were there to protect and to serve. They were respectful, courteous, and by the time they sent me on my way, they reminded me that police officers are people too. I hope that doesn't come across as disparaging. Anyways, I want to offer a special thanks to these two officers, as they made Carmel feel like a place I can feel comfortable in, and somewhere I can see living in a couple of years. I forgot to mention that they escorted me back to the inn that I was staying in for the night which was really kind of them. Thank you Officer Shen and Officer Bruno. Next time I visit, I'd love to take you gentlemen out for lunch or something, if you have the time. Cameron

So when every restaurant is allowed to use the space in front of their business as open seating…read morespace, apparently the Tuckbox isn't allowed. Carmel PD parked a unit in front and in violation of their own parking laws (over 18 inches) from the curb and not allowing them to use their space. They also kicked everyone out of the patio this morning even though social distancing is practiced by seating 6 feet apart and face coverings. Be fair Carmel PD. If you are going to violate rights do it to everyone.

It's really terrible the way the clerks treat people at this courthouse. They have been unkind on…read morenumerous occasions. They let lawyers file papers that you can't even read but when lay people come in they give them the 3rd degree. It would be nice if they could treat all people with dignity and respect.

A few weeks ago, I went to the police department to submit a public records request for some (BWC)…read moreBody Worn Camera footage which is considered a public record under the CA Public Records Act and was given extremely poor service by Officer Mora. .1 By law, you can request public records anonymously and at first she was trying to say that it's not true and was shaking her head back-and-forth. .2 by law, you can request a copy signed and dated of the public record request as a receipt to show that you submitted it and they literally had a giant stamp that they can date it right in front of her on the counter and she refused at first to give me the copy/receipt of my request and made a big issue about it until I requested a supervisor and then finally after 15 to 20 minutes minimum of waiting she finally came out with a copy for my record. go through all the hassle and make their department look bad and shine in a negative light. All she had to do was make me a single copy and stamp it??? If you're going to work for the public and get paid by tax dollars and be the point of contact at the department when a citizen goes in and seek services we expect a little more! Moving forward, they also denied me the public records. I was asking even though it's not part of an investigation. I mean the transparency, what are they hiding or ashamed of that they were saying behind closed doors??? The people are watching and expect you to do better and hold the PD to higher standards!!!

Thank goodness for these courageous human beings. So sad, they also experience shorter life spans because of lung diseases, caused by smoke inhalation and stress. If you ever meet and greet a fireman, please express your appreciation. They are silent heroes. Truly, some of the most kindhearted human beings, you will ever meet.
