Altadena Sheriff’s Station

Altadena Sheriff from my experience are not very helpful at all. People get away with so much stuff here, the department doesn’t care. I really feel that our own safety and protection is in our own hands.

This sheriff station is very helpful and looks out for the community unlike its neighbors in La Crescenta. The La Crescenta Sheriff station seems to care about giving only traffic tickets and not actually protecting the community. Altadena Sheriff Station I give you nothing but high marks and high respect for what you do everyday. Thank you!

I try to walk in this morning at the Altadena Sheriff Station and an officer was walking out of the door, I ask him how I can report that my car was missing or stolen? right away he asked me to give him two seconds and he will get my report, it wasn’t even two seconds and he was ready to write down my report, Questions asked very politely, I can say that I was ready to cry for what happened
, but he was the sweetest Officer I had met in my life, it was like he was a therapist, the way he was talking to me and writing down the report was very smooth and he made me smile, of course i was boiling from inside that who could steal my car? but he was an angel, he explained to me what I had to do next gave me my report and even asked me if I needed a ride, God bless you Officer Matthews, you made my day and thank you for all your help this morning.

Wow? 2 ½ stars! That’s kind of funny. Shouldn’t they have the best rating? Since there here to protect and serve?

I just called Altadena Sheriff’s wanting to find out about gun laws and restriction. I was told that they didn’t have time to speak with me? Here i am, a tax payer, and law abiding citizen, trying to find out the right steps to take before purchasing a firearm and I’m told that? Really? From what I can see this is one of the biggest problems in southern California and now I know why! If our own law enforcement won’t take the time to explain laws about something that is a touchy issue they shouldn’t waste time wondering why there is a gun problem in California! I am so disgusted about this. Then I call to talk to the Sargent and the same person who didn’t have time for me tells me he’s not there and he will call me back… Have I got a call? NO!!! Thanks!

My only experience with this station is living very close to it and word of mouth. One of my neighbors was working on his car with his Chiuahua next to him when a Sherrifs car came barreling around the corner, swerved because of something in the street, then hit and killed his dog. The car didn’t even stop. I am constantly being woken up by speeding cars coming in and out of this place. I understand that there emergencies — but not everyday 4 – 5 times a night. The loudspeaker is always going off at this building and it’s not all ‘business’ related. They are very slow to turn on their headlights when leaving, and it could create a really nasty situation since pet owners use this street to walk their dogs to the cute park up the street.

My advice is when you come here, arrive in your car, not there’s.

Ok, I’m going to be honest… There is a party hosted at my humble abode about 3 times a month. It all starts with drinks, a bonfire and… a lot of people.
they all arrive around 10… come 2 AM there is always 2 – 3 cop cars infront on my house. Not only that but as i’m walking towards their vehicles… I hear some nagging, sort of a fatherly nag «Liz, its late. we’ve gotten 3 calls. keep your friends inside and keep the party going… btw who’s that cute chick that just left, she is FINE… your friends are so cute» hahaha the fact that they know me by my first name is kinda awesome yet frightning.
knock on wood.
