I asked the officer if, hypothetically, he received a call from a woman reporting that her man beat her, would his response be to tell her what she had to do to keep from making him angry rather than addressing the fact that he assaulted her. The officer accused me of trying to rope him in with this completely valid question.
"GOOD JOB" !
I love you guys. Like seriously, adopt me.
Incompetent and negligent towards the safety and well being of their own community. I have called for help a few times and they seem to skate around the actual issue of why I called for them in the 1st place. Every time have not received any help only lectured on things I already knew that didn't pertain to the situation at all. There fore since they do nothing to help the situations become even after they leave. What a joke the police chief stating that the safety of his residents is #1 priority. They dont care ! Whatever Chief ! ALL of your department needs sensitive training and acknowledge that they can make difference in positive way NOT making a bad situation for someone 10 times worse before they showed up. Simple judgement to fix a problem asap not lectures, avoiding a persons rights as a citizen, or unacceptable humiliation in public. I now have fear to reach out for help or even see them out. I understand why everyone has not ever had anything good to say about RHPD. What happened to serve and protect ?
The entire conversation, he spoke to be in a very rude and aggressive tone when all I had done was dial 911 to report a crime. It still makes no sense. He clearly had a very bizarre understanding of the job of a police officer.
Some days you see em' Some days you don't. But a minor traffic violation can turn into a major car accident.
This department has demonstrated profound incompetence in terms of handling domestic violence situations on many occasions. Last night, I reported that my adult sister, who has a long history of anger management issues and physical violence, physically assaulted me. Instead of addressing the fact that it's, you know, illegal to physically attack someone, the officer's first instinct was to launch into a lecture about what *I* had to do to "better communicate" with my sister to prevent her from unleashing her anger issues on me. The officer told me to walk away when she tries to start a fight, to which I responded that that is literally what I had done. (I told her I had work to do and had zero interest in fighting with her, and she attacked me while I was walking away). The officer's response was that I was "making excuses" to not follow his advice and that I had to "study communication." Describing the reality of the situation is not synonymous with making excuses, not to mention I have a degree in communication! He again accused me of "making excuses" after he told me not to do anything that would make my sister angry, to which I explained that she gets angry over the most minor things (e.g., she literally once started throwing things at my father because he came downstairs in his own house when she told him she wanted him to stay upstairs).
RHPD is a JOKE! They hide behind their badge and try to intimidate EVERY person they come across. They profile and target younger kids, search vehicles without probable cause or warrants, and it takes AT LEAST 2 cops to pull someone over for simple traffic violations. The ladies who work at their office are completely hateful and have authority problems, they speak to you as if you are a child. These cops/staff are a joke to surrounding areas and have quite a name for themselves with other departments. Stear clear of Richmond Hill, THE COPS ARE NO GOOD!!!!
I hope that wherever I wind up moving when I leave Richmond Hill has a more ethical police force because, as someone who genuinely believes most cops are good people doing the best they can at their jobs, it is disheartening to say the least to have developed such distrust and lack of confidence in your town's police force.
That doesn't even cover all of the unreal stuff that the officers said and did in response to my call. It also doesn't cover the other situations with the aforementioned violent family member that this department has only exacerbated by refusing to take common sense actions. You know it's bad when you have friends strongly urging you to take your concerns to the federal police since you're not receiving the protection you should from RHPD and when you speak to a social worker who can't even believe that the cops haven't done anything about the situation in the over 10 years it has been ongoing.
Then there's the fact that the two officers made me stand outside in 30-degree weather in a skirt and without a jacket for what must have been at least half an hour while they spoke to my sister inside. They could have let me go to another room in the house, but they made me freeze instead. I was so cold I didn't stop shivering for hours that night.
