Pennsylvania State Police Southwest Training Center

Its sad when your officers do not understand what pleading the 5th means. Trying to edge more information out of someone who has said it is a disgrace.

When I was younger The Officers in my area were my hero’s. Anytime I was in trouble or needed help I felt like I could depend on them. They were always there for me. The other day, I had a neighbor break a few items of mine, and my landlord told me I had to make a police report. Regretfully, I called to make the report. I’ve never felt more degraded, disrespected, and mistreated in my life. The way the two officers, I had contact, with spoke with me was awful. I hope no one ever gets treated like this again because these are people we are supposed to trust and depend on. These are protectors, they’re not supposed to be our bullies. They’re the ones we're supposed to be able to turn to. Please implement some customer service training. Thank you.

This was my first interaction with the police outside of a speeding ticket some years back. I had lost my wallet the night before and came in hoping to file a report so that if charges came up on my bank cards I could dispute them. The only questions I was asked was why didn't I come in last night. The answer was I was at a bar, I did not want to interact with them while intoxicated. I knew I wasn't going to get the wallet back but wanted something on file. The individual behind the glass seemed very disinterested in my problems and came across as irritated that I was asking him for help. He said he would have to get a trooper out to take my statement I said let's do that and he continues on staying "I don't know what you want us to do about it. This is a recorded line so it's on record.". Seeing that I would not be receiving any assistance I said have a good day and left. I am a Navy Veteran, College student, and a strong supporter of our police force. I understand that people have bad days but I also understand customer service. What I received was not even close to the bare minimum. A bank teller, cashier, or fast food employee would provide much nicer service than this individual. Police stations are new and a little scary, most of the time it's someone's first time in a police station. I had no knowledge to dispute what the officer said because I relied on him. The same way an employee at Walmart would help you find a product you were looking for. Reading reviews it seems as though I am not the only one to feel this way. Intimidation is a hell of a tool, and it is used against people's ignorance so that they can just sit. I'm fine with the idea that there is nothing they can do, but even the bar I went to was apologetic and asked if they could help in any way. No accountability.

They pulled my father over last night, and made him wait 1 hour as they searched his car. Man is 70 years old, was leaving from work. Just because you smelled marijuana in the air doesn't automatically mean the driver you pulled over smokes!! Have some common sense!! I'm now taking my old man to the hospital to get checked on, cause Greensburgs finest gave him a hard time, and ACCUSED him of smoking, he didn't know what hit him!! How about you "heroes" start fighting real crime, rather than giving 70 year old men heart attacks. To add my old man hasn't gotten in trouble his WHOLE life, he didn't know what hit him, the cops that pulled him over should be held accountable for. Next time you accuse someone of smoking maybe have some more evidence than the smell being in the air. The man still has the shakes and I'm the one who has to call of work to take care of him. These particular cops we re not out to protect and serve, and it's a shame. The police are their to help you along, not set you back! The man can barely walk and you make him stand out in the cold for an hour!! I'm going to chalk this one up, I guess they just hire anyone these days, anyone can be a cop.

I wasn't given proper car/truck crash review 10+ years ago! I have been unfairly/unjustly punished for a wreck I didn't cause! Judges can be so narrow-minded, too!

Today I was pulled over by State Trooper Wagner on route 30 in Greensburg. As an African American man I was nervous and almost came to tears for fear that I, as an unarmed black man would be shot and killed by a white officer. The exact opposite happened. Trooper Wagner let me know that I was speeding, ran my plates and drivers license just as he is supposed to do. He was very respectful, polite, and above all he treated me like a man. I was so overwhelmed by his integrity and professionalism toward me that I was almost brought to tears. In this age of divisiveness, Trooper Wagner has made me feel that not all white officers are bad, and not all officers want to do harm to black men. I thanked him for the respect he has given me. Cudos to State Trooper Wagner and all officers just like him. If only I could clone him and give him to the rest of the country.

I have had several interactions with the Greensburg state troopers recently and I am so impressed with how well they deal with the public. They have been professional yet kind and polite.

They flat out refuse to do thier job. Show up at my house ask me argue with me if i own my own property that was destroyed. After a dozen times have someone comeing to my house threating my family. I went to them with someone chasing me down the street. Do nothong. I filed complaint with state next is Congress, fead up with crooks

I called 911 for help and officer Medred told me he wouldn't send help. My girlfriend ended up being attacked and battered. The blue line has faltered. They no longer work for us. Tyrants.

I have been up to the police station 5 times for what I thought was a violation of a PFA, everytime I went they were different officers and they would say I needed more proof and that the person I have a PFA on hasn't violated it, when the judge approved the PFA he said going through any third party is a violation, also putting my name on Facebook is a violation well after the 5th time I had all the proof, I really felt like they weren't taking it seriously and I should have had the same officer so they would know what was going on also 2 times I was there I really couldn't believe how mean they were I was crying because I felt like I was being intaragated and I was the criminal ,I used to love the police untill this happened,I will never go back there again I'm going to the judge next week and showing him what this person I have the pfa is doing to me ,no wonder people get killed and say a pfa only a peice of paper ,I have never in my life seen officers or dispatchers as mean as this state barricks
