Hercules Police Department

I don’t know where to get started but at least this is a forum to voice a complaint. I’ve had ever terrible incidents with the police in Hercules. Had a gun pointed at me by an officer I had not committed any crimes.
I’ve been harassed by someone, contacted the police was told to file a restraining order. Did everything on my end. Went to HPD to pick up incident reports that I filed on to take to court took over three weeks (supposed to take a maximum of ten days) were incomplete and have to go back in for a follow up.
I was told by Corporal Barazoto that he made a call to tell person to stop harassment. No evidence or incident report. I went again to the HPD because the harassment continued I was told by Officer Fernandez that he would make another call and tell that person to stop harassing me no evidence that this actually occurred.
I really don’t want to make this about race but I feel if I were of a different skin color I would be treated differently. I have lived in Hercules (aside from college and graduate school) since I was 4 years old.
Looking forward to moving.

I recently went to HPD for a service (Live Scan). I called and made an appointment a few days before and got there on time. It took a while to get to me, but that was okay, because the lady had another Live Scan appointment ahead of me, and I know how those go (this was my third one).
The lady who conducted my Live Scan was very friendly. She made small talk with me throughout the whole process, and I just thought she was great!
As for the cops out on the road… well, there really isn’t that much crime that goes on, so they’re sticklers for just about anything. There’s one cop in particular that my family isn’t very fond of, but I won’t be dropping any names. Every time I see him, I make sure I’m going at the EXACT speed limit.

I called to ask for assistance to break up a bunch Of kids smoking smack behind my house, turned Into a fight by the time I called back. And still no response. I grew up in this town, I knew plenty of POs and can’t believe no one can respond. It’s a one way in, one way out freaking town. Man, after two calls to dispatch without response, makes it seem like we live I Oakland or something. Thanks PD and dispatch. There have to be alternative for the next occasion. Not like you’ll show up

Job well done! Thanks to Hercules Police Deparment especially Detective Pesmark and Officer Barazoto and team! it took them no time to catch the Craig list Rental Scammer, Gino E. Hercules Police Officers did great in capturing the cuprit in no time and saved lots of money from innocent people. HPD created a better safety environment for the community! Thanks HPD!

Way overrated. Ay the end of the day is all about their pay. See how caring for the city protecting and serving plays out when it comes to a pay check. The Passion for the job should not be in control or thinking your status is above persons not in playing in the same sandbox.

I don’t know about you guys, but I am a BLACK female student with a squeaky clean record. I have gotten stopped 4 times. For what you ask? Not a got damn thing. I have been followed, harassed, and annoyed for the past year. I have lived in San Francisco, Oakland, Benicia, and Richmond. This experience trumps them all.
Thanks for the memories Hercules PD!

I guess it’s a good thing that there isn’t much crime in Hercules but the cops shouldn’t take it out on every day citizens… These cops are so bored they will harass you for any minimal «crime». I was pulled over and ticketed for a broken tail light as I drove through the city. As I was exiting the city limits I was pulled over by a different Hercules cop for the same offense and as I tried to tell him I just received a ticket 2 minutes ago for the tail light he just ignored me. We went through the standard Hercules procedure (have you had anything to drink? Do you have a drivers license? Are you a terrorist?) and then he got on his radio and figured out that his co-​worker had just written me up seconds ago. Whatever happened to protect and serve? In Hercules it’s harass and harass
