When your best and brightest employees leave, there's a reason for that, and that reason is piss-poor management.

But don't take my word for it: the public doesn't seem to appreciate the level of service they are getting from the TRU or dispatch either.

"Rhonda Lozano: They don’t answer the phone then whenever they do they send you to some freaking recording I just want to know if an iPhone was turned in that’s it but can’t get anybody to respond to you that’s sad this is what we pay for."

"Sun orthunder: Non emergency officers are unnecessarily rude and talk to you like you stupid when theyre not even listening to what your saying. And previously my ex bf (330lb) hit me(160)I ran to my neighbor to call police because he grabbed my phone & broke it so I cudn' t call. He was in my house when police got to the house I own and they took his side and said it was mutual. I cant just put him out. If it was mutual why was I running out my house and he broke my phone. They're useless I will never trust them again. I asked them abt my phone they said it was a civil matter make a report but they came to my house when he called them for washing powder & a firestick."

"Espanola Gupa: Lazy rude unprofessional. I called non emergency number people answering the phone were white trash. No manners no dignity."

"Aj Pointer: Amazing that it's a holiday weekend and called non-emergency twice ans no answer. 230-245 sunday 7/3/16. I guess the city can't afford t more city employees since they spend so much money on sign police and sign training."

"Caitlin Dunnavant: non-emergency dispatch woman working 11 am august 29 was unbelievably nasty. i had just been in a car accident and was trying to avoid wasting a police officers time coming out here by asking a few questions about the process of what to do regarding calling the insurance companies so we didnt have to call an officer out for our fender bender. she snapped very rudely at me "maam im not going to answer your questions.. do you want an officer to come out or not.." told me i was wasting her time and she had 911 calls coming in, but i had called the non-emergency number. apparently her 2 minutes is more."

"shania twain: wow I must say, the Clearwater police must pick and choose what things they will look into and the things they feel are a waste of their so called precious time. I contacted them a week ago last Friday with concerns of someone stealing my debit care information and using it to order a few things, I had contacted my bank at 5:33AM that morning and they put a stop on my cared and began a fraud investigation. The officer I spoke with said that there was a problem with that, if I stopped my card at 533 am then how could someone order something at 557pm, I told her that it was 557 on the 29th and this is the 30th, then I felt profiled, I was then asked if I was black, white, Hispanic, and so on... What does that have to do with the tea in china?? Any how, I was told that an officer would be assigned the fraud case on Monday, since it was Friday night. I had done a lot of leg work and contacted both merchants that were compromised by these carrier criminals. I had contacted again the Clearwater police with new information on Sunday and the information was added to my file and again was told that I would have an officer contacting me concerning this on Monday, Tuesday at the latest. Till this day nothing has happened, both merchants have like forgotten about this. I understand that there is a lot of issues going on today, but If I was like everyone else, saying, oh its only 50.00, then how many more people, have gone thru this thought the same thing after knowing that the local police and merchants just drop these small transactions of fraud and worry about the BIG charges. I'm not sure but I'm thinking that the small amounts that are just dismissed out weight the large ones billions to millions. This is a billion dollar loss that is passed onto us, the TAX payers for the losses the business tend to wright off. Where or when is this kind of BS stopping? Why haven't the Police taken any of this seriously?"
