Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Department

Called today they were very friendly and went the extra mile to get me to the right department. I was transferred several time to get my issue resolved. Everyone was very friendly.

i dont think people feel safe leaving reviews of this on here. that silence should speak volumes

Oh yes, I’m going there. Apparently I will be the first to review JPSO… yet to be determined if this is a good or terrible idea.
Now, if this were a business, they would get 1 star for service based on my recent experience. However, I do enjoy having them keep the streets safe for me and my family. I’m still alive, part of which I’m sure has to do with JPSO. I thus bumped them up to 3 stars… possibly because karma scares me too much to give a 1-​star review of people who risk their lives each day to protect others.
I’ll also issue a disclaimer of sorts. I am entirely grateful for those who serve as policemen/​women. This just has to do with my one, and so far only, experience with the JPSO in my time of need. On with the review.
On a Sunday afternoon recently, I noticed a bunch of fraudulant activity posted to my bank account. Aware that my bank wouldn’t be able to do anything on a Sunday, I figured that perhaps I could stop a crime from being committed. Timeliness is everything — and I figured reporting it ASAP would increase the chances of catching this person on camera or something. However, since it was not life-​threatening, I didn’t WANT to call 911. I instead Googled JPSO and was told on their website that my only option was to call 911. With much hesitation, I did so. The dispatcher was exceptionally nice and took all of my information. She informed me that a Deputy would call me back so that I could file a police report.
It never happened. No phone call, no in-​person visit, nadda.
I expected to have to wait a while for a response. After all, this was fraud, not a murder, robbery, domestic abuse, or anything quite as terrible. Like in an Emergency Room, it isn’t first-​come, first-​served… it’s order of importance. That’s fine, and understandable. However, someone was stealing from me and breaking the law. At some point, yeah, it would have been nice to get a follow-​up call or visit. 3 days later, I still haven’t heard from them.
I figure at this point, the crime has already been committed so there is no point in bothering them further with it. I will (hopefully?) get my money back from my bank, and they can deal with the police investigation to recoup their losses from whoever made those purchases.
Still, it’s frustrating to only be able to sit back and wait while someone steals from you.
