My favourite is a review for Ipswich Police Station,

"Was arrested yesterday, so my review is based on that. Was treated respectful and gave them nothing but respect in return. Was fed and given a spacious cell to myself for the almost 10 hour stay. Only lost a star as the air con in the holding cells was too cold."

4 STARS

Game recognises game.

Must give credit to Kristine Singh who wrote this under Marrickville Police Station:

"The officer was a dick"

Then theres Mr Smith Western who wrote

"Very fast
I was chased, caught, arrested, charged, and fingerprinted and place in holding cell in less than 1 hour
Thank you for a great experience"

I moved to the wyong area. When we were house hunting I tried for one place. Showed up for open house and the real estate agent told me it was cancelled because the son of the owner was inside and refusing to let anybody see the house. Another house I was looking at refused to let me see it because they wanted to take it off market to do 'roof repairs'. A few weeks later that entire suburb was shut down because of an active shooter in the area. Felt like I really.... dodged a bullet.

"gonna look at the povo suburbs" and then immediately looks at my local cop shop.... Might need to move

I remember I asked my dad what he thought of the NSW police and he said "they're the best police force money can buy!"

Doctors do the Hippocratic Oath. Do no harm. US cops seemingly take an oath to Do Harm whilst Australian cops take an oath to Do Nothing. It’s the Hypocritical Oath.

An actual review for Woden Police Station (ACT):
Apparently they don't investigate "hit and run's" because it "takes up too much time" and "is not worth the trouble"

Wyong police is spot on 12 years ago I witnessed off duty local cops gate crash a teenagers birthday

[sharkiehuhaha]

Live in Logan (only 400m from the police station), one night we heard what sounded like shots fired outside from the road. Bundled the kids into centre house (brick wall) hallway hunkered down and called the police. Called our neighbour before they arrived who had CCTV pointed at the street and our driveway, she reviewed it and saw a car pull outside our other neighbours house (housing commission) and a series of flashes out of the car windows, then the car speeding off. When the police arrived, they told us not to worry, they had heard there was illegal fireworks in the area. I told them about what our neighbour saw on her CCTV and they could talk to her to look at the CCTV. Police officer said yeah, they would do that. They then hurried across to their car without talking to our neighbour and drove off in a hurry. I was completely stunned.

8:53 Kiwi here, and my old man had that one once.
He was at Maccas, getting dinner, and a couple drunks were trying to pick a fight with the employees near the counter, so my old man called the cops and stood in the only open entrance to the staff area.
Two cops walked in, walked *past the drunks* and ordered their dinner.
My old man asked the cops "Hey, aren't you guys here to deal with that?"
"Nope. We're on break. Didn't even know this was happening." and they just.... did nothing.

The review at 3:45 is just my average Email.

I checked my local station, and I found a handful of three/four-star reviews that I thought were worth a read:

"I had a great 2 night stay I can't complain if it's a free hotel but I had one problem the food was a little gross and the bed was a little small"

"cells were comfortable could do with some more leg room was a pleasant over night stay great staff but substandard food and beverages" (What is it with people treating this police station like it's a hotel?)

"Arcitech was a bit bland really"

"Wyong: The Gosford of Gosford" is the best description of Wyong I've ever heard, and I've lived in Gosford, Wyong, Woy Woy, and Springfield.

I once lived in a town where the police showed up 2 hours after stabbing because..
When the crime was first reported it was 30 minutes before shift change

Grew up in Penguin. Not a whole lot happened that required the police when I was there. There was a double homicide, but pretty quiet otherwise. My strongest recollection of an interaction with the Penguin Police was when the constable came to the high school and told us 14 year olds that in 10 years about 20 of us would be dead.

Aussie battler who moved from Griffith to Queanbeyan here and ill i can say is that that hinda civic with the 18 inch rims is definitely real.

My experience of NSW cops is that they are bad. I saw one swearing at and abusing a homeless Indigenous dude. They searched my bag for no good reason. They stood around chatting when a cyclist who punched me was riding away. They have sniffer dogs to catch people with pot and then they strip search them on the street. And when I told a higher up cop that drugs should be decriminalised she slapped me on the chest and said higher-ups know best. Basically, cops are useful in emergencies, but otherwise, it's best to avoid them and work to make a better society so that cops are less and less needed.
