Their systems have been down for 3 days straight. I need an accident report to get the insurance information for a crash I was involved in (someone hit a car that then damaged my car). I would have taken pictures of their insurance at the scene if I wasn't reassured multiple times by the officer that all I needed was the incident number for the insurance to go through. This was not true, and my insurance agent (Erie insurance) even stated they will say that purposefully to make you pay for the cost of getting the report ($15). Regardless, I have been told everyday since that they're unable to print or email the report due to their systems not working. This is preventing me from even starting my insurance claim, let alone getting my car repaired. I understand technical issues happen, but for a city police department that serves so many people, this is unacceptable.

Why is there an animal control department? Everytime time I needed someone to help rescue they weren't there. I thought the purpose of this department is to help the animals/people, there should be 24/7 services not one that closes at 4 or 5.

ABSOLUTELY the most professional police dept. ive experienced (and i have lived in most major cities throughout the US and internationally). this morning i disregarded the police barricade in front of the steam town mall thinking it was okay to wait for ongoing traffic to pass). i was greeted by an officer (i didnt get his name) and kindly reminded that there was a barricade that i completely disregarded. the officer proceeded to ask for the necessary materials (drivers license, etc) and did not lose his cool although i was VERY belligerent in my delivery of my displeasure of being late to work. mind you, this is in front of the police station. his supervisor was on the scene and also professionally blocked my range rover from the rear so as not to cause anymore disruption or potential damage to my vehicle. again, both officers were extremely professional, did not lose their cool (although i was very belligerent) AND invited me to the event that was happening that afternoon to acknowledge the fallen officers in the line of duty. as a military vet and a person of color, i cannot begin to stress the level of professionalism i experienced. scranton PD you have a fan. nice work, and mad respect. please keep up the good work.
