Campbell Police Department

Glad to have Campbell Police. They are very responsive and professional!

I was at an Arco on Winchester and Campbell on November 21, 2015 and got hit and run while I parked in a spot and sitting in my car. I only got a partial plate, the store clerk wouldn’t help me even though a camera was there.
I called the Campbell non emergency police number. I got a voicemail saying they were closed so I called the main line. The operator was friendly, I told her the situation, she asked about the camera and I told her the clerk said he couldn’t help me. She said there was an emergency call and no one would be able to arrive for hours and I could go home and an officer would call me.
A few hours later an officer called me. I described everything over the phone, gave 4 of the characters from the plate and a general description of the car since I was in shock and not a car guy so I didn’t focus on make and model. Didn’t seem like they really wanted to do anything. Kept asking if it was possible the person didn’t know, I can’t read minds, but when you back that hard into a car to make it shake violently and knock the bumper loose, stop, then speed off when the person gets out of the car there’s a good possibility they knew they hit something.
Officer said there were too many combinations and all he could do is take a report. I gave my report. I know since no one was injured it’s not an emergency but they could just have gone down the street to the station and check the footage since they had the time and location. Who knows why the perpetrator sped off. Probably just no insurance if the public is lucky.

Once again, Campbell PD demonstrates disregard for the law. I watched in from my car today, 12÷14÷15, just before 9 AM, as the officer inside vehicle # 1351 played on her telephone. She caught me looking at her, and immediately put down the phone and started tapping on her big screen before driving off in a rush.

Entrapment at its finest waited for someone the only car in Campbell on a Monday night leaving the bar gets pulled over by a unmarked car not even a block away then had 10 cops there for one little girl just to intimidate her good job you dirt bags

I have experienced many issues in the past that involved Campbell Police. They way they deal with you, it is just like a fine dining restaurant. Unlike other police department, Campbell PD is one of the best. They treat you with respect and dignity.
Once I lost my passport, less than 5 minutes and someone was at my door steps to give me the report.
Also, went once to bail out a friend for a fight, they gave me all the j formation necessary to dove it.
They always love to help, you feel they don’t do it for the duty, but they do it because they want to.
Great job Campbell PD. keep up the great work.

I was assaulted at a local bar, and then went to the Campbell police station the next day to file a report and press charges. When I spoke with the on-​duty officer, Terry Gallagher, he asked me «Are you ready to go to jail today?» He explained that if I was attacked by one of the employees, that I must have provoked the attack, and that I was just as culpable as the attacker. Without asking any witnesses what occurred, Officer Gallagher came to the decision that if one person has charges made against him, so should the person who was filing the charges – who had actually suffered bodily harm. This intimidation tactic kept me from filing a police report and pressing charges, which is how I would have proceeded had I not been threatened with being arrested. It seems that Officer Gallagher and the rest of the Campbell police department are more interested in overlooking the offenses of a local business than they care about the well-​being of the local residents.

I seen a car get pulled over for speeding, police officer pulled his record. He came up clean. So they they let him go. I guess they fo have a heart sometimes. Overall 3 stars for that.

Officer Leitz is very attentive, professional, patient and has excellent customer service skills. Our car had a hit and run a few days ago and she was able to follow through and find the car who did the damage. She is trustworthy and earned an A+ in our book.

I was in Campbell on 4÷14÷2014 my Harley Davidson died out so I let it roll back in the red zone in front of Starbucks (what a gorgeous day lots of people were out)…I was waiting on a tow truck to arrive when 2 officers drove by & pulled over… Officer Johnson walked over with his ticket book… I was sitting at the tables behind my bike when I got up and let the officer know that was my bike and what was wrong with it… He looked at me and his first words out of his mouth was .is that my problem! I said no it’s not… Then he responded your lucky I don’t tow this bike! I said for a red zone while broken down… This guy literally talked so nasty to me like I just robbed a bank… I told him officer it’s just a parking ticket why are you getting so mad? I also said your suppose to be Campbell’s finest and you talk to people like this over a small infraction? So many people were there shaking there heads at the officer… Even a few people said something to him… I guess when you get a badge it’s your streets! Over a $ 40 parking ticket… I would hate to J walk

pulled over basically for reason and was questioned what am I doing when I live in San jose. 9 PM at night right after dropping my friend off. Camden Ave. These guys should be doing a real job and catching criminals instead.

Seems odd to give a review to a police station, but I’m in a reviewing mood and since my most recent experience was just yesterday, I thought a review would be in order.
My first personal experience was earlier this year.
A family member had passed away in a city way up north… the law enforcement up there found some paperwork with my name on it and so they contacted the Campbell Police, who sent out an officer to my home to inform me of the death. It was way over and above what I would expect. The officer was very nice and sympathetic and offered to call a local family member to come stay with me if I needed. Edited to add: and stayed with me until she was sure I was okay.
My second personal experience was yesterday.
I received a fix-​it ticket over the weekend. After fixing what needed to be fixed, I went to the Campbell Police Department to have it signed off. I wasn’t aware that there were special hours for that sort of thing, and I think I was a bit early, but they helped me right away anyway. Both ladies were very nice and helpful and I was on my way within minutes.

Wow, called their non-​emergency line and was greeted by the most terse and rude woman ever. I’m trying to report something in and you’re acting like I’m wasting your damn time? SORRY if I don’t know how to make this process easy and efficient for YOU, because you’re DEFINITELY not doing it for ME. It made me really not want to continue and try to explain the situation that I saw. She talked like she was an auctioneer, wouldn’t let me finish my story, and INCORRECTLY assumed that I was reporting an incident in San Jose. I think I know my own city — I’ve only lived here for the last 15 years, unless city boundaries don’t really matter to PD and they patrol as they will, wherever they want? No clue. Jesus Christ. I would understand the haste and attitude in her voice if I was calling the emergency number, but I wasn’t, so… what’s your excuse?

In greates regres I became a R _​E _​L _​I _​G _​E _​_​_​
In total confusion with an old dispusal
If I had not gotten a $ 1324 traffic vio
I would had appl for San Jose and Campbell Enforce.

Phew!
Driving here and walking towards the police station gives me the chills! I came here to get a ticket signed off…
PROS

Friendly staff
No Line
Clean
Fast
CONS — NADA!
Thank you Campbell Police Department ;) Cheehuuu! Lots of ALOHA there ;)

The police office is located on the first floor inside the City Hall building.
I came here to get my fix it tickets signed off on, there was plenty of parking and the receptionist was very pleasant.
I came around two and usually they have someone in the office to sign off on the tickets until 1PM
I guess it was my lucky day and an officer was in the office that signed off on my tickets.
her name is Susan and she is sooo nice and gave me some really good advice on how to go about fixing the tickets especially since one was from Capitola and the other from SF for expired registration.

I went to the Campbell Police Department just to have an officer sign off my fix-​it ticket. I figured that Campbell PD would have an officer available without a long line wait in. I was right but I underestimated how quick this would be. Besides getting that ticket signed off in less than 10 minutes; I had to admire the stations location and design. Also the receptionist was real helpful (something rare for a receptionist working at a government building)

My broker’s house was robbed earlier this year. I was surprised to learn that the Campbell police came to collect evidence and even take DNA samples.
side note: In San Jose, we had an attempted break-​in, with the crazy guy asking to be let in at 3:45 a.m. after we caught him. He stood at our back door for 10 mins tapping our glass door with something metal. (We found a discarded knife on our driveway the next morning) The police finally arrived after 15 minutes while I waited on the phone with 911. They guy ran off five minutes prior to their arrival.
Anyway, back to my broker’s incident. They searched their DNA records and caught the culprits! That’s pretty amazing in my book. Good job Campbell police! (any of you interested in working in San Jose?)

Pretty good — but they are a little bit «small town» when it comes to crime.

Nice interaction tonight with the Campbell PD, I’m happy to say! I was involved in a very, very minor traffic incident with another motorist and needed to contact the CPD.
A woman officer came to my home (I don’t live in Campbell) to take down the facts and check out my car. She was very professional and business like, although I was still a bit shaken from the incident. She gave me some good advice and was helpful in resolving everything.
The police do have a lot of dicey situations to deal with each day and naturally, they are a bit cautious in dealing with everyone because of this.
It’s good to know that they are out there when you need them!
