I wanted to reach out and say that I am not a local resident here in Jacksonville, North Carolina…read more I reside in California and when I was going through my business here in Jacksonville, North Carolina and dealing with what I was dealing with with court cases things about that nature, I will definitely say the Ansel County sheriffs department as well as the Jacksonville Police Department have in fact, been very professional and very attentive to any of the cases that were presented as well as any complaints or concerns that I have had in the past and in current events. This is strictly for the police department. I understand that they don't have a yelp review page or anything like that. Totally understandable, but I just wanted to reach out and give the upmost valid comment on the departments at hand. When utilizing the courthouse and the courthouse system, they have been very polite, very respectful and on their regulations for ensuring safety and fairness for all people that go in and out of the court house.

During you beating me up In front of my kids or you throwing me down the stairs.. No answer So i asked . Which leg did I supposedly kick one of you with that wont come forward .. A voice in the bunch said the left.. I said ..well sorry boys .. My left leg doesn't work..remember just before you tossed me down the stairs, I asked you to be careful with me as I have a bad knee..the left.. Meniscus and mcl.. The mean sherriff shoved me into the vehicle with cuffs so tight my hand was purple and I had nerve damage to my right thumb and wrist for months And no seat belt .. My experience at the jail was equally demoralizing Sexist. Bordering on preverse Abusive use of power and disregard to human dignity.. Clearly a show of lack of education and a reflection of the lack of moral fiber of the pillars of the community.. Oh and probably by now you think oh she's gotta be black.. I can only imagine how worse it would have been if I were.. No more No more No more

He should be fired from his job for being so rude to me. I told him multiple times why I wasn't going to roll my window down further and it was because I don't trust officers. Everyone has their own opinion about officers and I think they should all be defunded that is my opinion.

Recently had to call RPD for the first time. I have for years thought they were the ELITE of the…read moreWake County area but after this call I lost respect. #1 - I am the one who called 911 for service. They did not even come to my home first bc they were flagged down by the group of people I was calling to complain on. (They had no idea who my complaint was about and yet instead of coming to the address of the person who called in reference to threats of being shot they go to a different place. 2) None of the officers I spoke to had a care in the world. My wife noticed it, my kids ages 19,17 noticed it. I have been a homeowner where I live for over a decade and we have these renters that come in every 6-18 month to these 2 homes at the end of our street. Every single person that has lived in these houses have been a nuisance. Two gentleman came to my home and literally stated they were going to kill my kids and wife and RPD did absolutely nothing. I reported a vehicle sitting in the roadway with no tags and RPD did nothing. They literally watch this person go in the house, get a tag from another car and put it on the vehicle. 2 hours later I drove by and that tag had also been changed over to a dealer tag. ( I spoke to a sergeant about this and his response was "well if we ticket them now it may escalate the situation) They wrote no tickets, even though the vehicle was also parked within 20 ft of a stop sign nothing was done. (It has been sitting in the same spot since and nothing has been done) I will never again call RPD if the two officers I dealt with are what they are training. I went through BLET in 2000 when popat first started. My vehicles say retired on my tags and everything. I don't expect special treatment but Maybe a tad more respect or professional courtesy since I have been in those shoes before, kind of like respecting your elders. Don't talk down to me as if I am stupid because I am not currently working. I have already been there and done that and may know a little more than you do. One would think these younger officers would like to learn but it seems they just want to clear the call as quickly as possible. There are always cars parked blocking the intersection, illegally parked, if a fire truck were to need to get down to my house they couldn't even get here because of ppl parking along side the road. RPD never patrols the neighborhood, and when you call them they make you feel dumb like you have no clue what you are talking about. Also the new standard of police work is they ask you for video recording so I guess you are supposed to go around recording your whole life every single day. As a retired officer I used to be proud to say I live in the City of Oaks where RPD protects us but now I see RPD is really going downhill and doesn't give a damn about community policing. They just want to clear calls as quickly as possible.

Staff members were unbelievably courteous and thoughtful. Operations ran smoothly and as it should. Two memorable members of their staff stood out especially in the best of ways and I will not soon forget their encouragement and the time they took out to have a normal conversation. Stg. Casey and C/O Gurley. The facility is clean, and the environment is very laid back. The energy in this place is very calm (until it's not). And the food is decent. Lol. These people should be the people who train employees of state prisons and jails around the USA! Jhirmick Cabbagestalk
