So, I got arrested in 2018 for a DUI. I was arrested in Mesa and the police officers were all super…read morenice to me. 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.

If I could give a zero I would. In July of 2024 they found my deceased son behind a strip mall. My…read moredaughter arrived at the scene and asked to take his suitcase and belongings, he was just released from a recovery program two days before. They refused her request stating they would take them to evidence. Three weeks later I called evidence to see when things would be released, they denied having his things at all. I called Mesa Police and was told they didn't know where his things were, nothing was brought in from the scene. Weeks later I was told they apologized but they left his stuff at the scene by mistake. In his things were every last things he owned, jewelry, clothes, medications, his Bible, his photos and a black sachel full of psych medications, suboxone, and prescribed substance, that they said they left at the scene. ​The medical examiners office took photos of all of those things including the medications, but the Mesa Police denied seeing the sachel of meds. I requested the report 3 times after they closed his case to accidental fentanyl poisoning, it was never sent to me. I made a formal complaint to Internal Affairs, they took four weeks and wrote me saying only, "their officers acted accordingly", they closed the investigation. To them my son was a waste of time, he was an addict, another body to collect, more paperwork. Why ? Because it was not one of their children. Shame on all of you that overlooked the last memories we would have had of my son, shame on you for not investigating the cameras at the store that viewd who gave him the drugs and shame on you for the devastating treatment we recieved.

Hello my name is Sochy Calles Castillo, I wanted to reach…read moreout because my dad was detained yesterday at the circle k on Lindsay and Baseline. 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.

The Tempe Police Department responded FAST to a terrifying home burglary and assault that my…read moreboyfriend and I recently experienced. We called 911 and a fleet of cops came knocking on our door in less than two minutes. They were quick to react, immediately advised me to get on my Cerberus tracking app, and stayed with me until the thieves were apprehended. They kept asking me if I was ok and when my adrenaline went down an hour later, they even apologized for the brute and cold way they first spoke to me. (I was like, DUDE you guys are doing your job, I'm not offended that you didn't coddle me, LOL. Apologizing was not necessary at all.) Detective Michelle Reyes was so sweet, extremely professional, and gladly answered all my questions about the case afterward. The police technicians did take a really long time to finish fingerprinting my phone and miscellaneous items (they said it'd take 2-3 days... it ended up taking 17 days lol) but hey, I'm just glad they recovered all my stolen items in the first place. I'm honestly so grateful. Despite the terrifying ordeal, I feel safe knowing that the Tempe Police Department is vigilantly watching over my community.

That's minuscule! The MAJOR issue, was "law enforcement" not knowing the LAW. Then the other officer telling her. 'You can't film inside of a store, that's where their rights end'..... so the question is. Y'all are recruiting officers, and putting them on the street to enforce laws they don't even know. Then a sergeant is called, and he thinks making someone uncomfortable is a crime... he should've gotten out, heard the statement, went to the ladies and said, "what they're doing is writhing their constitutional right" and walked off instead of in so many words telling the guy he's weird. Police chief also said, 'they're human and make mistakes' police can't make mistakes, when police make "mistakes" people die, people get hurt, not to mention, people can get wrongfully convicted. I follow things like this because I was lied on by the police in norfolk, Va. never was in trouble before that, but that taught me that no matter how well you do in life, police will harass you and trump up bogus charges just cause, so I have a distain for police in general, they violate our constitutional rights everyday, but we're suppose to follow the law. Fuck that. We need more auditors to show how much of a joke policing is
