Anchorage Police Department

By the way, both officers walked across my beige living room carpeting with their big wet boots on. Nice.

I live within 5 minutes of this police department, yet if one should feel pressed to call them, say- due to a wild and loud hot tub party (that the entire block can hear) at 2 in the morning, for example, the police would most likely take an hour or two to arrive, if at all. Just recently, when my very loud talking, bumping thumping jumping, foot stomping, bowling ball dropping, chair scraping, video game playing neighbor, (who I unfortunately have to share a wall with), called the police because I had once again protested my sleep being interrupted, why, there were officers on my front porch within minutes! Okay! My neighbor apparently loves to call attention to herself. This time, two of them. One of them nice. One of them not so nice. The particularly not so nice officer told me all I can do is video the noise when it happens and call the non-emergency number. (?) No regard whatsoever to the fact that this woman's favorite things to say to me are, (and quite loudly) "I don't care what you think!! I don't care what you do!! Go to hell!! I'm calling the cops!!" This woman has called the police on me once before, to lie to them about me hitting her car, calling it a "hit and run". It has been almost a year, yet I still wonder, why oh why would I take my new Impala LTZ, and hit her crappy, little low end Saturn? I certainly know better. I've been driving for 46 years. She must have imagined the whole thing? Of course, no damage was to be found by the police officer.  Earlier, after I had left, she pounded on our door to confront my husband by yelling at him. He calmly asked to see her car. She then rushed to quickly have her garage door closed, so that he couldn't see it. Proof positive that she flat out lied to a police officer.

Here is what I would really like to know. How is it that this person can lie to the police, not to mention cause the police to waste their time by coming to our door, only to have to listen to how this woman has been abusive for at least 5 years now, and still do nothing about it? I did some research. I found out that such actions (lying to the police and/or wasting their time) are considered to be a misdemeanor and liable for a fine, and possibly jail time. Yet we, two senior citizens, homeowners, law abiding and tax paying, have to continue to endure the abuse by not having our right to quiet enjoyment in our own home, during the day and while we sleep. Such unnecessary nonsense, due to tenants who have no clue of common courtesy, and care only about themselves.

"Protect and Serve." The motto comes with limits, quite obviously.

Dispatch is unresponsive and unempathetic
Officers regurgitate policy.
We have a loud neighbor
There is absolutely
Positively
No way
In  our experience
And code enforcements to get police to show up and write a citation.

The police are fucking worthless.

They serve themselves and the union

It is obvious why they are under the gun
On you tube and in the media.

The institution doesn't work

If you take the law into your own hands.

Now you're the criminal.

As a taxpayer.

You're fucked.

The only good review here is for how pretty the p d is.    Seriously?
Pretty ?

How shortsighted and sad.
How unimportant

The officers here are extremely rude and power hungry! We slid on the ice and our car got stuck in the snow. An officer pulled up and the first thing he said when getting out of the car was "how much have you had to drink?" That's your first response to someone sliding off the road in the winter? We told him we hadn't had any and he went "so how'd you wind up in the snowbank? I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions."

The officer proceeded to issue a sobriety test, which the driver passed. He still insisted the driver was drunk, his main example was he said the driver kept "fidgeting" and was "having trouble talking", when we're both soaking wet and freezing cold from trying to dig our car out. We were shivering and our teeth were chattering and that was somehow the officers big "see, this proves your drunk". I guess only drunk people can be cold according to this officer.

The officer arrested the driver, even after passing every test. He wouldn't do a breathalyzer on scene and said he had to go to jail first. Then he tried giving me a sobriety test! Another officer that responded said I was fine, I didn't need a sobriety test, then the first officer told him to put me in handcuffs and bring me downtown too. The second officer said they had no reason to arrest me and told me I was free to leave. He refused to let me take the car and I had to walk home.

Once I got my car I drove to the jail to pick up my boyfriend and the first officer told them to give me a sobriety test because "she's as drunk as he is." Then he started taunting me about how we could "save space and share a cell together" when they arrest me for drunk driving. The breathalyzer came up zero, no shock there since we hadn't been drinking. The officer kept making comments about "it must be wrong. Do it again. They're both drunk." The officer that issued the breathalyzer said we were both free to go. While the first officer was very angry and started screaming how I wasn't allowed to take my boyfriend and we weren't going anywhere.
