Only challenge was they needed signs for parking AND walking especially during this time of…read moreconstruction all around. If we did not stop a patrol car and ask, we would have never found this entrance. The gated parking is for public use, you push the button and wait for communication. You also need ID to enter the front. Once inside, it is beautiful, organized, spacious and the staff was so friendly and helpful.

It's like this, I applied the first time around 7/24 and my app took too long. Specifically I had a…read morespeeding ticket I had to rectify, so that made sense. I also already had issues with this app because 1) I didn't fill the app out right. 2) the chick SAPD had as a detective on my app is an ego driven moron, Jessica alvoet. We discussed my app ad nauseam and she acknowledged many others submit lackluster apps so I'd need to correct mine. Clearly that's too much for her ego to handle bc she seemed like she had a rod shoved up hers during those interactions correcting the app. I submitted the second app 8/25/25 and interviewed with her in November. While I'm able to set aside animosity towards ppl, views and the like during a professional encounter, she is wholly incapable of separating her feelings from these matters and proved SAPD has no good reason to keep her as a det. We sat down and discussed my apps for 3 hours. If you can't fully scrutinize 2 apps in 3 hrs, ur awful at ur job and should be reassigned elsewhere. Part of the reason she took 3 hrs was bc she beat a dead horse asking why I lied about certain things, which is where another breakdown occurred. I didn't lie. She evidently can't comprehend there can be multiple reasons for a given action. To my best recollection, she claimed I was guilty of misrepresenting my arrest record and therefore not taking responsibility for my misdeeds. I asked how I'm responsible for being arrested when I did nothing wrong. I asked how I'm culpable when the arrests were constantly bogus. An example, I was arrested for violating probation in TN. When I went to court, I took the evidence that I fully complied with the court order, and the charges were dropped. Her conclusion was I refuse to take responsibility. How am I responsible when the probation idiot in TN proved he's a moron. Maybe these 2 morons are related, I guess. Ultimately I planned for the interview not to take more than 3 hours and had to return my car so my friend could go to work, otherwise he'd be fired. So I told Jess that and she threw a hiss fit and actually tried debating me on the issue. I didn't realize keeping ur word was such a problem for SAPD. Had I known that having integrity was an issue with them, I probably wouldn't have applied. She threatened to close my app and my point to her was I had a commitment to honor and even reminded her that we had been going at it more than 3 hours! If that's a problem for u, maybe ur the issue, not me. I left and after a couple months of silence, I got the notice that they've permanently barred me from SAPD for lying on my app. Now, the military has opened its arms for me. Imagine that, the feds are happy to take me but a lowly city PD says I lie too much! Far as I can tell the jokes write themselves! Clearly Jess shouldn't be a pig w SAPD. She is why ppl disparage pigs constantly.

You're cruising through Alamo Heights on a blustery, wintry evening in November. You've just…read moretreated yourself to a six-course dégustation at an eatery worthy of at least two Michelin stars. The Euro Disco trash masterpiece "Satan in Love" (La Bellini, 1979*) is your soundtrack. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, emergency vehicle lights appear in your rear-view mirror. "Egads!," you cry. "What did I do?! Was I doing 31 in a 30?! Did I unknowingly run a stop sign? Did a cop spot the red and green putrefying liquids oozing out of my trunk?!" I'm sure you can relate. On the evening of November 29th, 2018, The Mysterious Ryan M. was pulled over for the first time in his life. The AHPD officer couldn't have been nicer. He assured me that I had broken no laws but that one of my brake lights was out. After running my driver's license through SCMODS ("State, County, Municipal Offender Data System" -- thank you, Elwood), he confirmed that I was an upstanding citizen and let me off with a warning. I thanked him for alerting me to the problem (a dangerous one at that), because I wouldn't have known otherwise. He could have issued me a $200 citation, but his MO was to help, not to harass. The Alamo Heights Police Department gets a bad rap. Instead of making baseless claims about their character or labeling them the "worst police force in America," (shame on you, Julie R.) how about simply obeying the traffic laws? If a cop pulls you over for speeding, take personal responsibility for the infraction and thank the officer for doing his or her part to keep Alamo Heights safe. Then resume listening to "Satan in Love." * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ysPir3wqgw

Honestly, now. How many times have you cursed the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit in Alamo Heights -…read moreor worse, the Alamo Heights Police Department, as an officer ticketed you for exceeding that ridiculously sluggish speed? Well, today I had a very positive interaction with those maligned keepers-of-the-peace-and-speed-limit, and subsequently just HAD to Yelp about it! This morning, my vehicle stalled while I was on my way to a haircut appointment. A suddenly disabled car is upsetting enough; but add to that, a very busy time - about 8:30 a.m. - at a very busy intersection (Austin Highway at Broadway), and you have an adrenaline rush of the worse kind. I had my hazard lights blinking, and people were swerving around me - probably saying nasty things under their breath - as I tried to call for emergency towing. Lo, out of the blue came uno, dos, tres Alamo Heights Police officers: one blocked traffic while the others pushed - and I steered - the car across traffic, safely into a parking lot! In addition, the officers checked up on me from time-to-time until the tow truck showed up, nearly an hour later! Now, it has occurred to me that they might have wanted to keep tabs on ME, to make sure I didn't just abandon my vehicle - or cause other mischief while I was awaiting transport (never can be too careful with fat middle-aged women, right?). I'm going to assume the very best, though, and suppose that these dedicated public servants are also Good Samaritans, who were concerned about a citizen's welfare. So, a heart-felt "THANK YOU" to the city of Alamo Heights, the Alamo Heights Police Department, and - most especially - my three rescuers. And I promise to grumble less, from this point forward, when I have to observe the Alamo Heights speed limit.
