I'm so appreciative of Sheriff Chad Bianco, and that the Riverside County Sheriff's Department serves not only the unincorporated areas of Coachella Valley but provides police services to some of our cities by contract. Thank God for elected and independent sheriffs who understand that they are sworn, above all, to uphold the U.S. constitution - NOT unconstitutional state executive orders. If I want to enjoy a nice breakfast on a patio or get a haircut I don't have to travel too far outside of my city to find businesses willing to provide them. If our world does evolve, someday it will look back on these "stay at home orders" and other extreme restrictions with near disbelief. It will be common knowledge by then that those who succumbed to or suffered long-term harm from Covid-19 were people with pre-existing health problems (especially immune conditions) which should have still been as extremely rare - even in the senior population - as they used to be long ago. In a healthy society a bug like this would barely make a ripple. I'm glad that front-line law enforcement personnel get a lot of sun, because vitamin D has already been cited as a major preventative factor. It helps to counteract the high viral loads they're sometimes exposed to. But vitamin D is only one of them - we need the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, they all work together. We need plenty of vegetables. People need natural, healthy diets. They need to stop the continual assault on their bodies with the plethora of toxic substances that's considered normal these days, including common over-the-counter and prescribed drugs. The range of noxious chemicals harmful to the immune system that are breathed in, ingested, and applied to the skin these days is appalling. The young, the healthy, and older folks who know how to take care of themselves ought to be free to go where they like. The aged, the unhealthy - from what I've experienced and seen, they either don't know how to or don't try to take good care of themselves, so their immune systems don't function as nature intended. THAT'S the real problem. We'd better fix it or every future pandemic will be another economic and sociopolitical nightmare. Thanks Sheriff Bianco for protecting us and our fundamental freedoms, like the right to make a living! read more

Officer phillips at banning jail is awesome . Very helpful and friendly need to have more officers like him

Chad Bianco is a God-fearing outstanding Riverside county sheriff. He is very down to earth he is easy for me to get a hold of and talk to. He takes time out of his day for his constituents. That is a very rare trait these days. I truly appreciate everything that Mr. Bianco has done for Riverside County! May God bless you all and keep you safe! He truly cares about people and is very in tune with his surroundings. I look forward to voting for you next year! read more

THIS IS A HUMAN INTEREST STORY AND MUST BE SHARED. An update on my situation: after receiving no help from the local authorities. I have tried 2x to officially file a RO and was refused protection. As it appears to me from my first hand experience that the " offender" in my case is protected by the local authorities. Even the Judge was prejudiced against me and refused to consider the evidence. I called the SHERRIFF office to get more information and when Sgrt Cryder refused to give me any information I asked who the Lieutenants name, he refused to give me his name. And repeated it 2X with his authority. I called Internal Affairs,(now called Professionals Bureau) and left a message for J.Cory he returns my voice message with," this is Blah blah and I'll only be calling you once more". What professional leaves a message like that? A person who is obviously not wanting to file a report on one of his own. I called back to advise him that I was working now and he could certainly call me anytime after 3 o'clock. I never got that call, and I wasn't surprised. I've even called the chief of police 12 days ago and he was to return my call after doing some investigation on his own. I am still waiting for that phone call. So, I was prompted to update my situation for those who care about what's going on here in beautiful Coachella Valley. I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to Riverside County having been a previous business owner and a large property owner. But now that I am semi retired and trying to enjoy life, and need their protection. I find that I have chosen the wrong county to continue to pay taxes in and to be protected as an Elder female. read more

I'm deeply disappointed with how the police carry themselves and handle things in the area. They're opportunistic and don't put in the work or effort. They've gotten overly comfortable. read more

I cannot believe it -- at 2:20 in the morning, I called dispatch to report a party going on in our neighborhood. The music loud the guests carrying on into the early morning hours. The party was outdoors and had been going strong since early evening. At 2:20 am, we had enough! It took sheriffs over an hour and 10 minutes to arrive on that call! My husband just had surgery and the noise and bass level from the music was too loud as to keep him awake. Our local sheriff's office, just within 2 miles of our neighborhood, took way too long to make that call! VRBO, Home Away, and other weekend rentals must end! If not, we will be forced out of our own home in order to have some peace and quiet! PD Sheriffs must employ more men and women to keep the peace! Please make your dispatch calls sooner. read more

I am Gang Stalked and would be heart broken to find some of our local officers involved. I called to report this and an officer told me I needed to get a lawyer but wouldnt say who was after me or why. I have nothing but respect for you guys. Here is a picture of Rivers. Animal control Officer standing on the street corner covering his face and staring at only me as I leave post office in my neighborhood. Ive had a person follow me to San Diego, drive by me covering their face and guess what PAW print sticker on the back of their vehicle similar to the PAW sticker on this officers vehicle and exact same deceitful, harrassing, GANG STALKING behaviour. read more

This review is overdue but a couple of weeks ago my husband dropped his keys down a storm drain. (Yes, you read that correctly.) We had no idea what to do, so we contacted the non emergency line. They dispatched Officer Moody out to see what could be done and never have we encountered such a nice law enforcement officer. He went above and beyond in trying to help us figure out what to do next and figure out a way to get the keys. He definitely helped turn an unfortunate situation into a great party story with his humor and kindness. Thank you so much for your help, we are so grateful!! read more

Very well located, easy to access, and beautifully designed building.

Had an emergency today on ladder trail. The riverside sheriffs and first responders were there today for me and my family. They responded quickly with compassion and quickness. They treated my family with dignity and compassion. Thank you guys. In your debt. read more

Waited over an hour for a simple form to be signed, which should have been retrievable from their records but come to find out, the signed form was never scanned into their files! Officer issued two tickets, second one in error (our name but not our vehicle or address) and been dealing with this for over a year and a half- simply to have them remove this from our bane and record because now there is a license suspension and a huge bill for the second ticket issued in error! They admitted from the beginning that it was the scanner that was not regulated correctly. Well now fix your mistake. Sign the form so we take to court and get it dismissed so we can go on with our lives! Very poor handling for "public servants" and this created us so much stress! read more
