Lawndale Sheriff Services Center

Thank God I finally moved out of Lawndale because this station was never helpful. A few years ago my underaged sister with mental health issues disappeared from her high school for 2 days. It was known that she was suicidal and being groomed. Her SCHOOL did way more to help out than this station. When she was finally found, an officer arrived hours later, never confirmed it was her, and didn't write a report until days later when we informed her school. The second time she disappeared at age 16, this station told us NOT TO WASTE THEIR TIME with paperwork. We told them she was again suicidal and off meds, but I guess they would only help us if we found her dead in a ditch. Officers were young and had a horrible cocky attitude. At the time, I was a health worker, and I knew this was no way to speak to anyone, much less a grieving family. Absolutely no compassion. Now that I too am a government employee, I can assertively say that this station's Officers weren't trained properly on how to interact with the community they are supposed to protect, or they simply did not care. I know there are better Officers out there... these were simply disappointing and left a bad taste in my mouth. So much for serving and protecting.

Super rude. I called for information & she got upset because I didn't know the information... Which is why I called in the first place... Lol. Crazy.

Excellent experience w/ deputy Leonardi this evening. Called about a strange individual at my door while i was out of town. Within 5 minutes the deputy was there walking the property, checking doors, windows, etc. Even offered to bring in the garbage cans. Can't say enough what an awesome experience this was.
