    They are the best of the best, the most professional law enforcement I have ever seen.

I'm banned by her. I called for a welfare check. They disclosed it to her and never called me back. I fear for his life and they're not taking me seriously because it's constantly downplayed; although he has bruises, bites, swelling to the head and eyes, etc. Seven children and her mother are witnessing this. NNPD doesn't take me seriously, but tries to tell her how to file charges against me...I'm grieving for my son...this is a total nightmare!

I even brought to his attention that another car was right next to me that lacked a front license plate as well but the officer was laser focused on me. The Lt. even told me the officer was doing what he was supposed to be doing as they received a grant specifically for stopping citizens that don't have front license plates. I found this unbelievable as in a city with such a high violent crime rate that any grant money should be spent on keeping citizens safe rather than trying to generate income with stops for no front plate. But again this stop was because this officer saw a young black man in a nice car and thought I had drugs in the car.

It is very…read morewell done and is in a small plaza area off of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk, near 35th street. There is metered street parking and a few commercial lots within walking distance that you can park at to visit here. The meters cost about $2/ hour and the lots vary in price depending on what is going on and the season. The center piece of the memorial is a sculpture that was designed by Paul DiPasquale, the artist who also created the world famous King Neptune Statue, just down the boardwalk. It was dedicated in 2012 and is in great shape. The statue depicts 3 officer representing the Virginia Beach Police Department, the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office and the state and federal agencies, extending their hands down to help others, while their arms are interlocked at the center. Individual plaques provide details of each fallen officer's line-of-duty death. You will find the names of fallen officers are inscribed on the granite base of the memorial and Individual plaques on granite slabs, providing details of each fallen officer's line-of-duty death. Additionally, there is a granite wall with law enforcement pictures engraved on it and another wall acknowledging donors. This memorial is illuminated at night and sadly, has to have camera coverage to protect against potential vandals. It is meant to be a peaceful place to pay respects and reflect. It is a tad off of the boardwalk but over still is able to overlook the water. It is a very fitting tribute to the heroes in blue that paid the ultimate sacrifice. It would be a wonderful thing if there are no more names added to this memorial. This will probably not be a very long stop, so I recommend making this part of a larger itinerary. You could start with coupling it with a visit to the boardwalk, the nearby King Neptune sculpture and the Navy SEAL memorial.

    The awesome thing about writing reviews is the writer can attack the content any way they choose…read more This review will not have crime statistics although I think Virginia Beach is much better than most cities of its size. I'm going to touch on a few randoms and personal instances I've had with local law enforcement. Today was National Coffee with a Cop Day. This was established in 2011 to strengthen law enforcement relations with citizens. VBPD participated. Several uniform officers including Third Precinct Community Liaison Officer Nieves was on hand. It was informal and an opportunity to chat about any local concerns. It was the first one that I've attended. I've had two negative direct interactions with VBPD uniform officers. One an expired inspection sticker displayed. The other a speeding ticket. Both handled with the highest level of professionalism. No I'll will, I was wrong. Other interactions with the VBPD have been in the community with outreach such as in schools and the coffee shop talk this morning. The rank and file speak, look and handle themselves professionally and with dignity in my experience. I'm proud to be a resident of Virginia Beach and witness the good they do everyday in the city. Many may not know this, but VBPD have several programs to connect to its residents. For teens there is a 4-5 month after school program to learn about law enforcement. This program begins this month. Adults there are Citizens Defense workshops and other programs throughout the year. The city also offers officer ride alongs with the release of a liability waiver. I have long been interested in this program. I have done this with other cities and it's a unique perspective. Finally I will conclude with something I saw while driving in Virginia Beach recently. How often do you see an outrageous driver doing something idiotic and want to perform a citizens arrest? Well at least wish there was a cop to witness the violation. I saw a SUV barreling down a grass median to go around a stopped line of cars to make a turn arrow. Guess who was directly behind him...yep! VBPD red and blue lights. The cop immediately pulled the driver over. Watching sweet justice served right in front of your eyes is darn cool. To those that say there are "bad apples" in law enforcement I would agree. But this holds true of any organization and does not mean its representative of police as a whole. I have donated to FOP and other groups because I support the difficulties and challenges they have performing their duties. Thank you for your service Officer Nieves and the other cops that attended the event this morning. Virgina Beach PD have a culture we can be proud of. Police deserve our respect and gratitude short and simple.

    Fast and friendly customer service at the Service Desk…read more I wasn't sure where to go to submit my CC application, but the attentive desk person noticed my lost look and called me over. Before I even got all the way to the window, she already knew what I was thete for. I asked her how she knew but she recognized the form in my hand from a good distance away. I can't see anything significant on the form that would give that away, but good on her for her experience. She was very knowledgeable and shared whatever information she could. Very pleasant and quick experience!
