But this last time, i can honestly say that during my time I found myself through the help of all the deputies, my culinary teacher and my counselors. There was so much to learn and I was able to take full advantage of the programs in here as well as all the support. The deputies at Las colinas will forever hols a place in my heart as people who helped me grow and mature into the young women that I am today. I am almost two years clean, fully involved in my recovery and because I has an amazing culinary teacher I was able to get a job in the kitchen at chik fil a and I'm now training to be a shift lead! I learned so much and would not give up my experience for anything because it has helped me become a better member of my community, a better employee, a better friend and a better mother to my daughter. I want to thank all the staff at Las colinas for all the work you do and just know you are thought of almost daily. Thank you. -Coty Sparks​

This department has the worst documented accountability record in the entire United States. Over…read morethe last five years, they sustained just 1 complaint; meaning they dismissed 96% of all misconduct complaints. No other documented county in the U.S. has a lower record. I know, because I'm one of those dismissed voices. Officer #415 "in appropriately" assaulted me (yes I have to change that from the correct term because they auto block it), then $talked me, then stopped me four times in five days, including once outside his jurisdiction. Internal Affairs, led by Lieutenant Forster, chose to side with him instead of investigating. After that, I was stopped over roughly 20 more times in a year and a half. Not once was I arrested, because these stops weren't about crime they were about retaliation. Since moving very far away, my police interactions have been normal and professional, which proves the problem isn't policing in general it's THIS department. Now they refuse to release the records or bodycam footage or proof he shut it off during both stops claiming it's "private." But federal retention laws require that evidence to be kept for 15 years. If it's missing, that only raises more questions about what they're hiding. They have taken down my review on Facebook and will not allow anymore negative reviews. This shows how deep the rabbit hole goes. El Cajon residents deserve better. They deserve a department that serves the people - not one that protects predators in uniform.

One day I had to call the El Cajon Police Station because a woman resident who lives in this house had to report a serious crime that has happened in her previous place where she used to live at in El Cajon, CA. There were 2 police officers that came over to our house this month in April 2025. Me and another person came outside the house to talk to them. I talked to Officer Kyle Webb. Officer Kyle Webb is in charge he is the Sargent who was on duty that day. I asked Officer Webb some questions about this case that was filed against this woman who owns this Independent Living Home in El Cajon, CA. This woman owner has committed a lot of serious violations with these elderly people who are currently living in her house. There is a current ongoing investigation on her property right now. Officer Kyle Webb talked to me for about one hour that day. Officer Webb was very professional and polite when he was talking to me about this situation on this criminal matter. I usually don't like COPS but Officer Webb was very easy to talk to about this criminal investigation that is ongoing right now. Officer Webb made me feel very comfortable with him and I felt at ease with him when we were talking to each other about this case. Even though the El Cajon Police Station is a much smaller facility than the San Diego Police Station Officer Webb said they do their best to solve crimes in the order that they were received by phone calls first then by driving over to that specific house in person to write down all the evidence that is required to solve these crimes that are happening now. Both of these police officers acted very quickly and they were also very professional people and very knowledgeable and kind to me. It changed my way of thinking about police officers. I now have a more positive attitude towards police officers in general.

Like other tax-paying residents, this Department appears to be a completely lost cause.

My employer at the time, Advantage Sentry and Protection, sabotaged me. Advantage Sentry and Protection Owner, Norman Llanes, hired his crony, Marco A. Rossi, a terminated police officer with The San Diego Unified School District, and gave him a pretend supervisor position. Norman and Rossi had previously worked together as police for the district. At the time of his employment with ASAP , Rossi was involved in a lawsuit, trying to get his pension. While employed at ASAP, I went through a corrections academy to start a new career. Meanwhile, Rossi would not stop causing problems for everyone, and was openly hostile. Rossi went as far as telling me not to view him as a supervisor. Everyone started voicing their problems with this terminated cop. A supervisor gave two weeks notice due to repeated antagonism from Rossi. A second supervisor(retired Chula Vista PD) said, " I won't get out of my car until he leaves. He stirs bleep up." The owners eldest son. Norman Avery Llanes Jr. said, " He is an a***e. He is only here for a free check." Rossi was threatened with termination by the owner's wife, Joyce Atkins Llanes, for harassing a male employee with a tampon. Rossi falsely told subordinates that I was having sex with a female employee, and lied about my job performance. Rossi was watching pornography on the company computer in the lobby. Norman was monitoring the online search history, and protected him. After he adversely affected my wages and work record, I put in a complaint. The owner was furious with me, and demanded that I justify myself to his crony. The owner immediately suspended me. Owner, Norman Llanes, Rossi, and I met at the office. The owner falsely promoted Rossi to a higher rank at this time. Yet, Rossi had previously told me not to view him as a supervisor. On this day, he wanted to be viewed as one. Norman Llanes began bragging about their law enforcement backgrounds. Norman started lying to my face about my job performance. Norman said, " If it was up to me, I would fire you." Yet, I did not even have a restroom at my work site. Norman expected me to go to a grocery store for this. Then, with a false sense of moral superiority, the owner said, " I expect more from a corrections academy graduate." This was after the owner instructed me to falsify reports for client, Walters Management. This was now a hostile environment. As Norman and I stood outside the front office door, I asked how this would be resolved. The owner took one step inside, and literally through the door shut in my face. One week later, I was terminated for "insubordination." Norman decided to fully support the games of Marco A. Rossi. Also, I was told by a supervisor that Norman was having mood swings due to all the medications he was taking for his medical problems. For the unemployment hearing, I subpoenaed a supervisor, and had a security officer voluntarily testify. The supervisor never disputed any of the allegations against Rossi. The security officer confirmed that Rossi was telling subordinates I was having sex with a female employee. Norman could not give a single reason to justify my termination. The owner repeated, "I expect more from a corrections academy graduate." Norman was delusional. Norman became desperate, and was caught lying about me. At the end of the hearing, the ASAP operations manager agreed that my termination was not justified. Norman was laughed out of the hearing. However, I did not receive benefits due to not attending the first hearing(mandatory). After the hearing, I contacted Norman in good faith about changing my file. Norman texted me, "You drunk man." I do not drink alcohol. I applied for a corrections job. Norman destroyed me with this potential employer during a background check. The last time I viewed my file, there were five inches of false documents in my file. Norman posted my name on two websites with disparaging remarks. My home address was posted on a third website. Norman Avery Llanes Jr. is my character witness. Owner, Norman Llanes, would not stop lying.

San Diego is great, in the desert the police need retraining and better yet need to be let go of their position in authority. maybe San Diego can help riverside? they are not doing so well. the difference between these two departments is night and day. 40 years no issues in San Diego 5 years issues in riverside county with loud noise, all night long, blocked driveways, police unhelpful, police lie and injure. how can it be one hour apart and two police stations so different? anyways thank you for your service my family appreciates your professionalism and always to be fair. thank you.

My reason was to ask to speak to the front desk police officer who I can ask him to file a police report with a woman tenant who was physically assaulted because she was punched in the face once and the second time she was slapped in the face by this same mental ill woman tenant in this independent living home that I am currently the House Manager. in managing right now at this present location. I don't blame the San Diego Police Officers because I have a better understanding of what their responsibilities are about since I have to do the same things they do in me having to deal with mentally ill people who are not taking their medication. These mentally unstable individuals ; when these crazy people are off their medication these people's behavior turns out of control and does escalate into a very violent episode. The situation was I was not able to file a police report because the victim this senior citizen woman only had one bruise on her face. This front desk police officer told me the victim needs to have a lot of (black and blue bruises on her face) and on her arms too. And also the victim has to be threatened by the suspect with a weapon like a knife or a gun and that weapon has to be found at the residence at the scene of the crime. I believe this is a good police department because even though I wasn't able to file a police report with them , I was given good information. The information I was given was a case number if I wanted to go through the San Diego Courthouse System to file a Restraining Order against this senior citizen woman suspect I would have to fill out the paperwork packet at the San Diego County Courthouse and then me and the victim would have to go through this long process to try to file a temporary restraining order against this woman suspect of physically abusing another senior citizen. It's a very long process. Their front desk police officer was very professional towards me and he gave me excellent customer service.
