I reported my car stolen and was told they would send an officer out when I one was available, 45 minutes later and no police officer had shown up. It was as if I had reported a j-walking offense lol. I finally started to walk home and found my car parked down a dead end rd that was on my way home. While I was walking around looking for my car the 45 minutes I was waiting for the police to show up there was a police officer sitting in his or her car 1 block away from where I had reported my car stolen a half an HR after me calling the police. Just sitting there doing nothing while someone was driving around in my car! Priorities first people! You shouldn't have an officer working traffic stops when they should be taking a police report and finding a stolen vehicle! I checked the police report and the only offense that happened in that time frame was an arrest for drunk in public . So a person being drunk in public is far wors than stealing cars! Get your proities straight apd
All opinions about cops and the Arcata police department aside, I want to shout out the administrative staff. Completely understaffed, Bev never misses a moment to brighten up your day and be an absolute help. She is incredibly empathetic and kind, and regardless of where you are coming from or what you need, she will make you feel heard and cared for. I give Beverly 5 stars, I’d give her a million if I could.
I have no job, I can barely pay my bills. I drive for Uber and can barely make ends meet. The officer patrolling my street has given me 10 different tickets for either some sort of parking violation for any sort of randomness under the sun. It’s made my life extremely hard and a couple of these tickets I had no idea you could even ticket someone for. What is the point of these tickets anyway? They don’t make parking easier for anyone else and the only people they are harming are the people that live here. We are so far from the school that visitors or HSU students don’t try to park here. No, the residents are the only ones that get tickets. It is complete nonsense.
This department botched a drunk driving arrest where the perpetrator crashed into my family members house, and let the dude go scot free. Guy wasn't even tested for any drugs or alcohol in his systen. This was years after Josiah and change in leadership in the department, highly unimpressed. Hsu campus police are better.
The administrative staff here is incredible. They are hard-working, polite, and excellent at their jobs. Being a public servant is not easy but they do their job efficiently and with integrity. I have law enforcement officers in my family and I know the whole department is a team who make sacrifices everyday to protect and serve. My experience with APD was ultimately extremely positive.
I dealt with the Arcata Police a lot when I worked at a local gas station that had a lot of issues. Most of the officers are very friendly, respond fast when called, and will introduce themselves to you by first name. Having said that, there are a few Officers that seem to have a "God complex", they know who they are. Mostly day shift Day shift also likes to respond to calls and clear them as GOA/UTL gone on arrival unable to locate when they pretend to not see the suspect smoking meth. Also there is one officer who apparently talks about wanting to shoot someone....heard this second hand, never met the officer, and he hasn't shot anybody as of yet... Great Police Department otherwise, very community oriented. I frequently volunteer my time doing my own "patrols" looking for DUI drivers, etc caught one a few months ago that was arrested! - seems like the night shift appreciates it, day shift I think feels like I'm stepping on their toes or something. Regardless, I would have to say this is the friendliest PD I've met, and having been an explorer for my teenage years as well as belonging to a family of LEO's, I've met many Officers from many Departments across the country. Proud to say they are the friendliest at least night shift bunch of Officers I've met. Keep up the good work! :
Called APD after a tow truck company they are contracted with dropped off my vehicle with several hundreds of dollars in tools and music equipment missing from it. The officer asked for my information, ran it, then told me he wasn't going to send anyone or make a report.
I watched a video of this police department take a girl into custody. The friend to the girl was asking for info to get her out of jail and the female officer asked the girl that was not in custody her name. She told the officer and the officer sat there and argued with her, opened the girls car door, snatched the girl out of the car and started hitting her and wouldn't let go of the girls hair even after being restrained by 6 different officers. The blonde female cop still would not release the girls hair. People have rights. Cops don't. They do as they want. They say smoking weed is illegal but they do it. They say prostitution is illegal... But they do it. They say fighting and battery is illegal... But once again they do it. If its illegal its illegal what makes them different than us because behind that badge and gun they're just another human being like us.
This is a very well run, efficient community police department Arcata is a unique and diverse city with people bringing big city problems to our small city. APD keeps us safe and we the public are treated with utmost respect. They utilize community oriented policing to focus on relevant crime and keep Arcata being Arcata. Thank you for your service.
I recently went on a ride-along with the Arcata Police Department on a weekend back in March. I had a fun and exciting experience. The officers who initiated the ride-along with me were very nice. I'm attempting to do a ride-along with them again. If anybody wanted to be in a police ride-along, this is the right place for you.
