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.

About a month ago, I had called this department to report a pharmacist who had blatantly broken the law (I had clear, obvious proof. The officer in question saw to ignoring that. She was blonde, short, heavier set. She never once gave me her ID, badge number, or name). When the officer arrived, I was met with an air of resentment, annoyance, and anger. I started to tell her what had happened. When she replied "Which CVS was it, honey?" and I told her it was the one down the street from me and her station, she immediately switched tunes. She began to scream and belittle me. I was terrified. I fell back onto MY couch in MY apartment as I had never expected nor been treated in such a vile way. "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" she screamed, "No pharmacy would EVER fill that much!!" Well, yes ma'am, they would. And they did. I am currently sitting next to a recent Walgreens fill of 3 months, you absolute ignorant liar. You see, CVS had changed one of my prescriptions, illegally, from a 3 month to a 1 month with 2 refills. Illegal. I had told her initially that all I wanted was help in contacting the DEA or FDA or whoever is in charge of upholding that level of rule breaking. Clearly, the police were not going to do it, I came to find out. When I started to look scared, she began to look around my apartment - peering into my room - as if she was looking for probable cause to bring me in and arrest me. I believe she thought I was high on meth. Well, I wasn't. In fact, I was so terrified by this encounter that I turned myself into a psych ward, and all my blood work came back clean. Because I was telling the truth. The truth. I wasn't high, I wasn't in a manic state. I was telling the truth, and I have proof - still - that the law was broken by that pharmacist. I have been in touch with CVS corporate, and they have done more than your officer did. In fact, I am now in intensive therapy and on a slew of new medications because of the fear and terror that was instilled in me by your lying, vile, horrific, piece of s*** officer. I am still traumatized and scared, even by this review. After I reported her, I was stalked by officers outside my apartment. They stalked my car (when I would head outside to smoke, they would see me and drive away). I had officers who mouthed obscenities from across Jones Maltsberger to me as I was having a smoke break. These occurrences have since ended, but I cannot shake that unadulterated fear and terror that was put inside me by that one miserably uneducated officer. Learn the law. Listen to people. Stop assuming that just because you are an officer, you can scream and belittle anyone and everyone into submission. You incredible monsters have absolutely broken me - not beyond repair - but sent me into a mental state that I am still digging myself out of. I am now paying exorbitant sums of money for psychotherapy to help overcome my experience. All I needed was to be protected and served. I was neither protected nor served. This review is a warning to all future people who may consider contacting this police department. DO NOT, under any circumstances. All that will happen is that they will make it worse, or better yet, find a reason to arrest you and bring you in. Thank you.

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.
