Usually I'm don't usually complain about the police department as you all do amazing work around the city. But this morning had to be the most terrifying thing I've encountered. At about 6:45am I'm getting ready to take my dog out, and whenever I take her out before daylight I'm always aware of my surroundings, as I'm always afraid something is going to happen, and in this city you never know. I open the door to go out and noticed my dog is a little more anxious than usually. An out of the corner of my eye I notice this man in all black coming up from behind my house in my yard, and between my car and the neighbors fence doesn't say one word to me as noted it was dark out. Now at this point being in dark clothing and in my yard, I literally thought I was going to have a panic attack cause i had no idea who it was and hurried my dog back inside. Had literally no idea this dude was a police officer as he didn't say a word to me and on that side of the house you can't see his patrol car. So when I go back in and calm myself down, I look out the window towards the other side of my house and notice his patrol car. I don't mind the police being in my yard for whatever reason but at least they could of done was said something when I walked out. Is this standard for you to be in someones yard and not announce yourself? I dont know cause I'm not a police officer. But it would have been great to know as they literally scared me. Thank you for your time.

Homeless people sleeping in Switchyard park. 7-10-20 a man in a sleeping bag was in the amphitheater. My sons therapist found him as she was taking a client in there to look around. I thought police was keeping the homeless out of the park?

Homeless camp behind the railing. There are signs that say, no dumping or you’ll be prosecuted. But, there are junkies living over there. They leave trash anywhere they want, they throw their needles on the ground, they broke into my neighbors house. They were on my property 2 days ago. 1 of them is obviously strung out, threatens people. Somethings going to have to change over here. This area hasn’t been this bad in about 5years or so. They’ve been made to move from wherever they were before, and they need to move again. It’s gross to see in your neighborhood and they’re being thug hoodlums.

At the end of North street there are people living in a tent behind the mobile home, there is trash everywhere, and traffic day and night. They have barracades up so noone can turn around.

So I applied for a gun/concealed carry permit. I paid the fee, then got my fingerprints. They told me to go to a sheriff so I went to the sheriff's office at 301 N College Ave. They said I had to go to the office on 3rd street. I went there and the building was closed so I could not complete my application. What do I need to do from here?

I am concerned that the foot massage spa in the 500 block of West 4th may be engaged in sex trafficking. I often see Asian women outside smoking, but if I smile or say hi, they run inside. (I am female and non-threatening in appearance if that matters.) it may be just a cultural or language barrier, and I have no evidence, but I would appreciate it if someone would check on this to make sure the women are safe and there voluntarily. Thank you.
