    A Big Thank You to the Roswell Police Department…read more I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to the Roswell Police Department for their exceptional service. From the moment I reached out for assistance, their professionalism and dedication shone through. They handled my situation with care, competence, and speed. Their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the community is truly commendable. Thank you, Roswell PD, for your unwavering service. Charles Wright The Right Guy Investigations

    Roswell police are not community friendly as they may want residents to believe.. I've been living…read morein Roswell for over 5 years and the way they treat colored people is really a disgrace to their badge and oath that they've "sworn" to protect and serve.. not to "Harass and be racist". I was pulled over driving back from the fast station near my neighborhood. The police had no issue when I passed them on my way to the gas station.. only when I stepped outside the gas station and sat back in the car and began to drive they immediately pull me over. Of course the police were going to overreact as they always do when pulling a colored person over by bringing in 2 additional cars said they pulled me over for the tint but then asked me to get out of car due to smell of marijuana. I told them not true and they continued to search my car.. only after 30 minutes with no result they pulled off and saying have a nice day. I'm sure if my name was Adam or Henry, they would've not cared because I'm a colored person they immediately thought I was a drug dealer. It's a shame in 2023 police officers cry about how they want to build a relationship with their community but honestly they can careless and continue to harass people who do not look like them! I don't encourage anyone to live in Roswell that is a person of color due to the high stereotype profiling and racist officers that honestly need to be off the street. Save yourself time and money by loving in another community where they cherish all races not just there's thinking they're the only superior race that belongs here.

    On Monday, I attended a CRASE presentation by Officer King of the Marietta Police Department. CRASE…read morestands for Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events -- basically, what we as civilians should do in response to an active shooter before law enforcement arrives. This presentation was free to anyone who worked at the office complex where I work and was organized through WellStar Health System (who is a tenant in our complex). Given that mass killings by gunmen continue to rise in America, I thought it'd be a good idea to go just in the rare case my friends/family and I ever found ourselves in such a situation. However, it should be be noted that currently, the chances of someone getting shot in an active shooter event are worse than getting struck by lightning. The presentation lasted 1 hour. Officer King spoke for about 45 minutes and then left about 15 minutes for questions and answers. The presentation included a lot of real audio, video, pictures, and diagrams of incidents that have occurred in the past such as the Columbine High School massacre (1999), The Station nightclub fire (2003), the Virginia Tech shooting (2007), and the Panama City school board shootings (2010). The purpose of bringing up each real-life incident was not to scare us, but to teach us. There was something to be learned from how people responded to each incident. If people had responded to the threats differently, more lives would have been saved. Here are some takeaways I had from the presentation: 1. Wherever you are -- home, office, school, restaurant, store, etc. -- always know your exits. Where you came in from isn't necessarily how you're going to leave. Don't necessarily follow and go where everyone else is running to to escape. Be smart and think about alternative/best exits. 2. After calling 911, on average, it takes 3 minutes for law enforcement to arrive on the scene. 3. Don't hide and hope. At Virginia Tech, over 20 students were shot and killed while in the fetal position. By curling up under their desks, they didn't give themselves much of a chance to survive. 4. Don't be in denial of what's happening. You have to act and quickly. 5. If you can't escape, lock doors and barricade yourself. Try to buy as much time as possible before law enforcement arrive. Shooters are working against the clock and will take the path of least resistance to find people to kill. Even something as simple as locking a door could save your life. 6. Fight back. Rally the troops. Overpower the shooter. Try to disarm the shooter and take away their sight and breathing. Don't fight fair. Do whatever it takes to survive. Use whatever you have around you. For example, if you have a pen, you can use it to poke the shooter's eyeballs out. We watched some training videos of a simulated gunman entering a classroom. The class did simple things like standing a desk vertically in front of the classroom door to confuse and distract the gunman when he entered, even for just a split second, before disarming and attacking him. The presentation could have easily gone on longer, but 1 hour is all we were scheduled for. Parts of the presentation did feel rushed. There were no handouts nor could I find the presentation online. I think it would be helpful if the presentation/slides were available online. Luckily, you can search YouTube for CRASE and find other CRASE training videos online. Towards the end of the presentation, Officer King advised us to buy small trauma kits. In the case of a mass shooting, there likely will not be enough first responders to tend to everyone who gets shot, so trauma kits, with simple instructions, can make a big difference. Thank you to the Marietta Police and WellStar for offering this presentation to everyone in our office complex.

    I have no idea what is going on at this precinct. But I stood in line only to be told no officers…read moreare available. There is an emergency that took precedence over everything right now. So even the desk was closing. So when this happens what goes on now. I waited over an hour for an officer to arrive to take a police report yesterday. Nothing was written down so I can only assume he has a great memory. He gave me a card which pointed me to Tucker, GA. I went there first only to be rerouted to Decatur, GA. I have no contact number or email for anyone. Yet all I want to do is amend the report. There must be a better system to this.

    I gave a 1-star rating because 0-stars wasn't an option. It took 45 minutes for DeKalb police to…read morerespond to my 911 accident call. It was less than 1 mile from their dispatch location in Tucker. Not to mention that the responding officer called me for directions because he was at "a different location". What? It took 2-1/2 hours to "investigate" a 2-car fender-bender because, as the responding officer said to me, he was confused about what happened and had to call someone for help and explain to him what to do. Seriously? Shouldn't this have been covered in "Vehicle Accidents 101" at the Police Academy? More importantly, if he can't figure out his GPS, and if he doesn't know how to investigate a simple 2-car accident, should he really have a gun?

I see an unfortunate number of 1 star reviews here ... all of which were generated by people who do not even live here. Perhaps one or two are legitimate stories, though I very much doubt it. Frankly, the tone of them sounds like they were created by police haters who wouldn't appreciate a police officer if he/she pulled them from a burning car. Please note that every review is either 5 stars or 1. That alone should speak volumes to the discerning reader. I don't know whether to be amused or disgusted when I read that there is (allegedly) too much of a police presence here. That's one of the most ludicrous criticisms I've ever read. I, for one, am happy to know someone is around at all times, looking out for all of us. Including any ungrateful haters. I would like everyone to know that the Woodstock Police Department is but one of the many reasons that this is a great place to live. And I hope that by writing this I am doing my small part to correct the totally unfair, and inaccurate, Yelp rating I see here. Thank you, officers, for keeping us safe and for playing such a positive role in our city.

Woodstock Police Department is lucky to have her and in turn they have trained their officers well.
