They won't see one dime from me. When I've had to have the Glendale police come out, I encountered arrogance, apathy -- & a refusal for them to file a real report. Yes, I realize that's to the cop's discretion; but in this instance a report was needed, & I believe wasn't done due to the aforementioned, as well as laziness. I encountered even more incredible rudeness & horrible attitude, upon calling the station to receive a copy, only to find out then there was no report.
THIS IN NOT ISOLATED; I have neighbors, friends & co-workers with all too similar experiences. Yes, there may be some good cops on this force; unfortunately there are many of the other type too -- enough to make it clear, those in charge of these 'officers' are also too apathetic, to correct the matter. Police need to get the reason people are always saying, "My tax dollars pay your salary" is b/c we so often feel we're being ripped off in the *service* we receive back. And cops wonder why it's the fire dept who garners all the respect, while they get little to none....
