UCSF Police Department

I have had to come here twice to get badges. The first time was for an initial badge and the second was for a replacement after a tragically windy day. I was annoyed to have to pay the $ 35 replacement fee but they were fast and thorough. When I first walked in there was no one around and I was about to be annoyed when someone walked in and asked if I had been helped. He helped me deactivated my old card and got me an appointment for a new one a few hours later. I had to go to a different facility for the replacement because the person who did it there was on vacation. Annoying having to go so far but I got it all taken care of.
Approximately 9 hours after paying for the replacement card someone emailed me telling me that they found my card fml.

I am still traumatized by my experience with the UCSF Police. I was driving southound on 5^th Avenue today heading right onto Kirkham Street. I came to the stop sign and noticed a UCSF Police car park on the other side of 5^th Avenue and could not wonder why there was a police car parked there. Of course, I was EXTRA careful about making a full stop before turning right on Kirkham Street. I went about one block and noticed that I was being tailed by a UCSF Police car and did not think much of it until I was pulled over. I asked the officer what the problem was… he stated that I had not stopped fully at the stop sign.
Needless to say, I was extremely upset and had explained that I did indeed make a full stop. Within 5 minutes, another UCSF police car pulled up. I was being treated like a criminal in the middle of Kirkham Avenue for something that I had not done. I told him that he pulled me over because he needed to make his quota for the day and that I was an easy mark as I am a woman.
I understand that the City and UCSF are both in dire straits. However, pulling over and «robbing» law abiding citizens of both their time and dignity is no way to fill their coffers. As you can imagine, I will be fighting this charge fully.
Take note! The corner of 5^th and Kirkham is a trap area.

The infamous Officer Mike Gray is retired now, but I am sure he would be tickled to read this review. I sent it on to him this morning. UCPD Rocks!

So after said incident with UCSF bike rack (see previous review) I headed across the street to file a report with the UCSF police dept. Now I’m a cool, calm and collected kinda girl. I like a good crisis and enjoy seeing others panic while I stay serene and focused. Rarely do I get frazzled, but when the love of my life is so violently parted from me, I’m on edge. On the edge of murder by nipple twists or curling up into a ball and bawling until the weekend, not sure which way to go. Officer Michael Gray saved me from these frightening options with his friendly and calm demeanor, kind words and genuine compassion. After he asked for my bike’s serial number, which I chokingly replied that I didn’t know it and was in fact on my way to write it down, he replied, «It’s OK, I don’t even know mine.» I didn’t believe him of course, but it was comforting to hear. Last thing anyone wants is a cop waving his finger at you while sneering, «tsk, tsk.»
I know my bike is forever lost to me– most likely taken hostage by a cruel park dweller. But at least my faith in parts of the world, and yes, even the San Francisco Police Force, has been restored.
****FYI****
If you see a baby blue bike ridden by a not-​a-​baby-​blue-​bike kinda person, send them nasty mean vibes, cuz it’s mine. Better yet, spit in their eye, knock them off, give ‘em a noogie, and return baby Bleu to her Mama. I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
