Was in an car crash recently, called 911 fire department showed up quick, but a deputy didn't arrive until 3 hours after I called 911. Terrible response time, an off duty Seatle cop arrived before deputies. What kind of first responders are there when your about to leave the scene. read more

Anytime you call them about anything and need them to come out to your house. They only call you back three hours after the fact. Then claim they can't do anything about it. But hey they love to sit out days later i front of my HOA but can never do anything. Glad i live right by their station, but can't come here to file a report or anything. read more

I am not sure what good this does to post about the sheriff's department on Yelp. However, I am sad this department is who we have to call for help in Pierce County. Recently, myself and several others called 911 several times for a man in distress. I explained to the 911 operator, that I am extremely familiar with medical calls, as I have been employed and trained in these situations. He had fallen down in the street many times and was clearly in need of help (We later found out he was going to get his truck). 911 told us the department would not respond. There were about 8 sheriff cars that drove by without helping. I finally decided to try to flag one down, I got behind her and started flashing my high beams. The cop turned into a gas station and I thought she was stopping. She instead pulled into the car wash line. She told me she was in training and to call 911 and closed her car door in my face. Apparently, her car wash was more important than a man in the community who needed help. In the end, the state patrol responded and realized the seriousness of the situation. The fire department also responded. I called the sheriff's department to discuss this situation and have yet to hear back, 2 weeks ago. In fact when I left the message, the receptionist argued with me claiming the car wash woman did not work for Pierce County. I told her it was a PC cop car and she admitted I was correct and she did work for PCSD. She also said the so-called deputy should have at least radioed in the situation and that she did not respond appropriately. I am grateful for the state patrol who sensed the need and helped someone who truly needed help. read more
