Pacifica Police Department

HUGE Shout Out to Corporal Fry and Officer Lujan! My family can't thank you enough for taking such swift action to recover our stolen puppy and apprehended the perp in less than 1 hour. You guys rock!

Thank you so very much Pacifica PD!

I reported a dog that mauled my chihuahua and his owner to Officer Lujan. I just wanted a paper trail about the incident and Officer Lujan said he would report it to the SPCA on my behalf. I wanted the owner of the dog to reimburse me for the $636 vet bill and Officer Lujan told me how to forcefully ask for reimbursement. To my relief the owner paid me in full without hesitation. I am very grateful for Officer Lujan's help and information. He also has a good sense of humor. Peter J.

Sergeant Mansker is literally amazing he's realistic, compassionate and an amazing communicator! Thank you for your help!

In contrary, officer campana has a nasty personality & is the epitome of why police officers receive a terrible wrap, I'd highly recommend removing him from PPD or retraining him on customer service.. I think he forgot he works for the people of Pacifica & not the other way around. Truly a terrible person.

But still a 5 star review for Mansker

I would like to give officer Luhan a 5 star review. The reason is today he proved to me that police officers are human. Thank you for your great service.

When i was little i was only 12 years old and was harassed by a officer With nothing better to do than intimidate me and blame me for random tagging in the area under the chase bank in eureka square. I dont do graffiti. Honestly just disturbing having a cop bully me as a child. When my friend was homeless and was staying in his car they gave him a parking ticket for being over night. without chalking tires or anything. Corrupt cops because the car moved every morning not just to another spot but around town. I called to complain and they didn't want to listen to me. They take a call from a neighbor complaining about said car and then just write a ticket immediately. Thats not police work. You have to chalk the tires and go back and check you cant just write invalid tickets especially people who have it hard enough . Sad as heck that the pacifica police station cant do their job. They lied about pulling a pit maneuver on a honda civic in 2018 and had the car repaired at toms auto body . Really shitty place to be if you're young you get followed. Simple profiling

While fearing for my life of retaliation because the officer who gave me the most bullshit ticket today still have my address and personal information, I must insist to go on because ethnically someone need to hear this. My heart is crush because of this incident, and it's tough to trust and work with he law when the law is working against us - the innocent civilians.

Today at around 1:30pm, officer Gomez, 5136, Police officer of Pacifica, CA, pulled up next to me at the T intersection exiting Target parking lot. He was in his marked patrol car. I was sitting in the middle lane and he was on the far left lane, right next to Sizzlers ( where the T intersection is). Since my window was down, he yelled out "hey get off the phone."

As surprise as I was and not sure who was talking to me, I looked at him and said " what are you talking about?"

Immediately after I said that, he gave me this stare or look, somehow I feel he think I was a "smart ass".

The light turned and as I was leaving the parking lot on the far right side getting ready to get on the free way, he pulled me over and asked me to drive my car to the shoulders. He got off the car, right before the 280 freeway entrance, and asked for my license and registration.

I gave it to him and told him I was really sorry if I was "looking at him funny" but I also inform him that I would never use a cellphone in this van and it's dangerous and I have no Bluetooth. I'm also a local realtor and because I need to pick up a sofa today I am driving this van.

He did not seems care and said you were using your phone. I asked how could I and what did you see and he refused to answer me.

Patiently waiting for several minutes, he returned and said here's your ticket.

The amazing thing is my phone was in a large CB2 shopping bag in between the driver and passenger side and there's really absolutely no way that I am using or holding it. He may have thought just because I looked down on the floor mat at the intersection waiting for the light to turn, I was "looking at my phone". The truth and honest truth is I had to fix my shoes and just wanted to make sure my left heel is completely in the shoes prior to moving the vehicle hence the reason of looking down.

I tried and tried to explain to him, but he refused to listen. Lastly I added, I'll be willing to pay for any consequences had I really was playing or using my phone but I did not and this ticket is absolutely phony.

I've always been a law abiding citizen and a local realtors. I connect many lives in the area and locate housing for people both through rental and buying/selling. I've always love Pacifica but based on this experience I really do not trust any law enforcement as someone who did completely nothing wrong can end up getting a ticket. he simply flex his muscle and exercise his power on me and I'm in no way to fight or contest his action. Either way I'm in a loss-lose situation.

I also don't know how or why someone that's a Pacifica cop can give tickets to someone leaving a parking lot in Colma. Perhaps the department must meet quota again?
Or perhaps what I said is true and the reason to falsely accuse me of wrong doing is because I looked at him funny and answered back with something he didn't want to hear.

I hope Pacifica appreciates this department, they're some of the best around.
They deal with a lot of crap, yet still go over and above to help out. I had a small issue with my 10 year old son and another boy, and I was amazed how far this department went to make everything good.
After living in many cities around the United States, and witnessing cops that don't give a damn about their communities, Pacifica was a breath of fresh air...these guys are great!

Leaving in Pacífica for over 15 years had a different view and opinion about the local Police. Yesterday they prove otherwise. They try to impose their own opinion instead of been impartial and act on a Professional way. They definitely need to be better trained before go out to the streets, and deal with the Public. 0 star would be more appropriate.

After deepening my understanding of the political systems that created the laws that must be upheld, as well as we consider the amount of important information we spit out in front of an entire HIPAA non compliant way when we just need a doctor to help with a broken bone. It's unfair of a former citizen like me not to leave a note for my neighbors. We are all somewhat often speaking in ways that we once never would have. It's not the enforcement officers who need more stringent controls. Quite the opposite. When it comes to protection of your family. This PD is right on par with all of the best when it comes to ensuring the safety of its citizens can feel safe at home. Anyone [insert me] can bring their social media attitudes to the real world. It's hard to admit it's taken me about two years to stop staring at the bark of one tree to see the forest. I can only hope that I can one day look up to the brave as my son already does.

This department is staffed with caring and competent employees whose no greater desire is to provide a safe place for their community members to live. I think the majority of these one star ratings come from people who cannot accept responsibility for their actions or have unreasonable expectations of any police department.
