Redondo Beach PD

John Vanhara

Reported a fraud to RB police department. Police detective is too busy to even call back. I called again, sent email again... no response. The only thing they told me that the detective has a lot of work.

Cops in Redondo Beach will chase you away from their town while your there on vacation spending money. I was sitting on some rocks watching people learn to sail when a Redondo Beach patrol car drove up and stopped. I thought nothing of it as we were enjoying the atmosphere. He proceeded to go on his loudspeaker and say “put out the marijuana” I looked around at the other beach visitors and did not see anyone smoking anything. I ignored him and he announced he was talking to me! He was literally 35’ from me and could easily have walked over and saw we had no marijuana and were stopped with our bikes from the shade hotel where we are staying. I expressed to him that we had no marijuana and he circled back twice while we were there to observe us. I am not a kid, I have spent several thousand dollars in this city while I am here and I expect a police force that protects and respects its citizens. Next vacation I’ll spend in Santa Monica or a neighboring city because Redondo police are jerks.

Last night at 7:35pm, I had a knock at my door, as I wasn’t expecting anyone I turned my porch light on and peeled thru the blinds of my locked door. There was a man standing off the steps looking down at his phone in his hand, I asked him ‘can I help you?’ He muttered something under his breath, and hearing my dog bark, he turned and walked south west toward Broadway and Sapphire. (I live on S Guadalupe) I called the RB police station, as this seemed to me as if he were checking to see if someone was home or not before breaking into the house. I knew my next door neighbor had just left her house. The phone was answered after about six rings and I was immediately asked if this was an emergency, I said no and they put me on hold. Fair enough. A minute later Alex picked up the phone. I explained the above and his snarky answer was ‘so you’re calling because someone knocked on your door?????’ I said that to me, this was unusual behavior, reiterating that I knew my neighbor was out. Again with voice full of incredulity, he asked what I want him to do.....I said send someone out here and check this guy out. So he asked for a description, which I gave him, then again with total disgust at this waste of time he asked if I wanted an officer to follow up with me, I said yes. And he hung up. I have yet to have anybody follow up with me. You want to know why police are generally disliked??? Treating citizens like their concerns are a waste of time is only one reason. Police are sworn to protect the citizens of our city, I did not feel protected or listened to at all. Seriously worst police interaction I’ve ever had!!!! Alex needs to be reschooled in customer service.

When they came to my home for my roommate they arrested me because they found "pants that could fit me" in the same room that had a empty bag they claimed was used for drugs. They also took over 1000$ that was with my ID. They kept my ID because it expired 2 days prior and said they didnt know who the $ belongs to. I also needed 15 stitches because they injured me after opening the door for them then sent me a bill for like 1700. They told me "oh well wrong place,wrong time". Most of them(including Snakenborg) were professional and courteous. Its too bad that the actions of other officers lowers them to 1 star
