I was awakened at 3:50 AM the morning of June 17 by a Mesa Police Dept officer aiming a very large…read moreand bright flashlight in my face informing me they found my stolen vehicle. My car was stolen on Feb 12, 2025. I checked my phone after he left and there was a voicemail from an officer saying that if I couldn't go to get the car within the hour (they found it around 2:00 AM) they would send me the tow slip in the mail. What happened to that plan? It really creeped me out and I felt unsafe. There was no need for the officer to come to my house at that hour. I was not comfortable and wouldn't even open my steel security screen door to accept the tow slip he was delivering. I asked him to just drop it on the ground and I went to my front window and waited until he drove away before I went to the front door to get the tow slip. He wasn't even parked in front of my house, which was an option. He was parked across the street in front of the neighbor house two doors away. Why didn't he park directly across from my house, which would have placed the vehicle under the dog waste station where the only light on the street is? I couldn't even tell it was a police vehicle until he turned around at the end of the street and doubled back to drive past my house. I was left feeling the same level of being violated and unsafe as I experienced when my vehicle was stolen because my address was on my registration and insurance documents along with my community gate remote and garage door opener. Giving the officer the benefit of the doubt, maybe he thought he was doing me a favor by providing me with the tow slip so I didn't have to wait for it to come in the mail? I don't know. What I do know is I was left feeling vulnerable and unsafe.

They went above & beyond to be nice to me that night & I really wish I'd gotten their names because I would've sent them a thank you later. It has been 8 years since that happened and I am still sober. I think about that night often and the kindness I received especially since I was the one in the wrong & yet they made me feel safe & cared for. The whole dui thing sucked but all in all I had a great experience at the Mesa police department. Try your best not to get arrested but if you must do it in Mesa! & be up front with them. Police officers absolutely love when you tell them the truth Thank you to the Mesa police department for making what would have been only a negative experience into something positive! Sorry this review is so late but hey, better late than never.

He was blocked in by undercover officers who asked him to walk to towards them and then he was handcuffed, following that they began a search on his truck and dismantled his truck and even had a dog search it. All of this was done on the basis that someone had just been arrested and gave out a description that fit my dads truck. He was let go but he was detained there for about 2 hours all for it to not be him and of course they found nothing. Then a female officer said "we and the dog didn't find anything, we hope to not detain you like this again" As if my dad was this big drug lord, when he's just a landscaper who was just getting off the phone with my to go heat up his lunch, he has diabetes and after the whole situation his blood pressure and blood sugar were high. This behavior just seems odd and uncalled for. Then we went to the Police station the lady was very quick to try and dismiss me with the usual "I dont know everything" before even letting me explain the situation or express my questions... i even started with "I dont know who to go to, so im hoping you can direct me to the right person" She gave me so much uncalled attitude and was no help.

I'm extremely disappointed with the response I received from the Gilbert Police Department after a…read morefrightening road rage incident on Sunday, April 26. My grandson and I were in the Fry's parking lot at Baseline and Gilbert when a man aggressively pulled in front of us and nearly caused a collision. I honked my horn to avoid being hit--something any reasonable driver would do. Instead of correcting his behavior, the driver stopped his car, began yelling, got out, flipped us off, and made threatening gestures toward both me and my grandchild. He then sped off recklessly, even hitting a curb as he exited. I immediately contacted the police and provided a license plate number along with a description of the individual. The officer's response was shocking. Rather than addressing the dangerous and threatening behavior, I was told that in the future I should avoid honking my horn because "it can make people angry." That advice shifts responsibility away from the aggressor and onto the victim, which is completely unacceptable. I was also told that there was little they could do because the vehicle was registered to a woman--despite the fact that someone else was clearly driving. No effort to contact the owner, no indication of follow-up, and no reassurance that this dangerous individual would be addressed. This kind of response does not inspire confidence in public safety. When someone is behaving aggressively and threatening others in broad daylight, especially around families, there should be accountability. Instead, it felt like the situation was dismissed entirely. I expected better from a department tasked with protecting the community. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling unsupported and concerned that it may take someone getting seriously hurt before action is taken.

I own a car wash near the corner of Bell Rd and 43rd Ave (inside City of Phoenix). Almost every night, my business is ransacked by homeless people, dumping over trash cans and ripping the hoses off our our vacuums, in search of spare change. Many times they try to break into our building, which triggers a burglar alarm. The police NEVER show, but code enforcement charges me $96 per alarm occurrence. I've repeatedly tried to BEG for extra patrols, but when I've repeatedly called the "non-emergency" number, it rings off the hook (CALLED ~15X AND NO ONE HAS EVER ANSWERED).
