Alameda Police Department

Had a great experience with the PD after someone smashed my windows. Thank you for all that you do!

I wish I could say harsher verbs right now but its hard to say that officer Park (badge 5-16), officer Campi (Badge 30), officer Bottein (badge 82), and also officer Hernandez (badge 33) did there rights to serve and protect today. Hard to say I will ever trust those men as well as the badge they swore to serve and protect. They did neither of those today for me and my family, but just made everything more difficult and complicated. I dont wish ill on amyone, but if they had to deal with what I did today maybe they would reconsider. Get a real job you loiterers and tax soaking junkies. We'll see you around.

Called about someone throwing a rock at my car and breaking the window while I was driving down Shoreline Dr. It’s been an hour and a half and still no response. Seems like Alameda PD is acting like Flint Police with their terrible response times. I think the County Sheriff and Highway Patrol need to take over for the city police if they can’t handle patrolling a few quiet neighborhoods.

I’ve been in Alameda almost five years, and have never had an interaction with the police until now. It’s like the Twilight Zone. Left my iPhone at the East End restaurant on Park St. last night. When I got home and realized it was gone, I tracked it on my iPad. According to Find My Phone, it was still at the restaurant, so I was back at the restaurant no more than 15 minutes after leaving. It wasn’t there, and when I looked at my iPad again, it showed that it was moving through the Walgreens parking lot, out onto Tilden way, then down Park St.—right past the restaurant and over the Park St. bridge! I kept sending alert sounds and messages saying “please return this phone to the restaurant” and “I’m tracking you and so will the Alameda police!” They kept turning off the sound and driving through East Oakland. I finally erased the phone remotely, went home, and called the Alameda police. As I was waiting for an officer to come to my house to take a report, I called my bank to have the Apple Pay token on my debit card canceled. Someone had already tried to buy something with my phone! Clearly, this person had a phone that they knew didn’t belong to them and was trying to use a debit card that they knew didn’t belong to them. But the cop that came to my house thought differently. When the officer arrived, he stood on my front porch and looked at me like I was guilty of something. With suspicion in his voice, he totally mispronounced my very common last name and asked “what can I do for you?” I said that I wanted to report a stolen iPhone. I started to tell him everything above,, and he stopped me and said “that’s not theft, you’re just reporting a lost item.” Dumbfounded, I told him again that I had been tracking it, and every time I played a sound on it, someone turned the sound off. I told him that I was sending messages that were appearing on the phone, telling the person to return it, and how to return it, but the car sped away from Alameda. He said “how do you know that it was in a car? Did you see someone get into a car with your phone?” The guy was psycho. He wouldn’t take a report. He’s got this twisted idea that if you drop a valuable item, it’s up for grabs, even if you tell the person who picked it up that you want it back. I truly believe that some people go into law enforcement because they have a twisted interpretation of the law and like to engage in criminal behavior. This cop has probably stolen something himself, and justified it with his twisted logic. I’m going to the station today to report the “lost” phone that has not been returned, and also to report the psycho cop that came to my house. Beware the Twighlight Zone that is Alameda, California. We have psycho cops that make up their own rules.
