Coronado Police Department

"Today is 25 May 2022, in light of the 18-year-old who opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, United States, I was reluctant to drop my daughter off at school this morning. I was humbled beyond words to see a number of Coronado PD personnel at the school greeting the children as the arrived. I feel completely blessed to know they are there and my daughter will be safe."

"They do a fantastic job at COVERING MURDERS just watched the most laughably corrupt investigation that was declared a suicide, these guys CAN be paid off and INFLUENCED with DOLLARS if you're wealthy enough. This is the #1 thing wrong with certain law enforcement agencies in this country, they work for preffered parties who benefit them financially, this whole department should be investigated for corrupt police work."

"On Sunday evening after my daughter’s Graduation from SDSU, we gathered at Yummy Sushi for a celebration Dinner. We were a party of 20 drove away in separate cars. A rude officer pulled over our extremely kind friend that offered to ride my boys home. We are Mexicans & most definitely her car was racially profiled. The officer excuse was a faint back light. Bull!!! He had 3 vehicles to back up, super ridiculous. First thing he asked was if anyone had any weapons or drugs, then he asked for everyone in the car their license. My 4 boys were inside. One is an engineer visiting from Sacramento, the other a future History teacher, a Medical salesmen, & my 18 yr. old a college student. We are so disgusted with the actions of this sad man. They traumatized the county employee driver & made her cry. She said it was because her car is an older model, I say it’s BIG time RACIAL profiling."

"On Monday 5/8/19 at 3:20pm I was picking up my son from a water therapy session, with Water and Sports physical therapist on Orange Ave. In Coronado. The pool is on 6th. Apparently an elementary is close by. My son had been suffering from a multiple car collision for the past 12 months, his pain level is about 8+, on a good day 5+, he was in so much pain when we arrived to the pool, he fought through the pain determined to get help & pain management (1 wk prior he finally had received a steroid injection in the neck & back with no improvement. While I was looking for parking I saw my son sitting on the stairs in his wet swimming trunks I immediately knew he was not doing well after the physical therapy. He is very conservative and would have made an effort to have changed. I ran to him concerned, he told me he felt faint so he sat down hoping I would get him home or urgent care. I told him I had to park the car to far because school was let out. So I immediately ran across the street in front of a Coronado Police car, which passed by and continued on. By the time I was able to get back to assist my son a blonde police woman was asking him questions, I had to pull behind her in the driveway in front. Her demeanor and body language appeared unpleasant, so I told her at a distance that I was there to retrieve him from his P/T session. She started in a negative tone with no empathy to his situation. He was explaining & by now frustrated with her attitude ( I experienced it as well, as I was trying to explain) she told me that she had received several phone calls concerning an adult male. While sitting on the stairs in front of this public pool. And that I should understand the concerned calls since young children were getting out of the elementary. I bit my tongue, and felt a variety of emotions & concentrated in assisting my son to get him away as fast as possible. I felt they had profiled my son, perhaps because of his tattoos on his body. My son had a professional career before the accident. Afterwards my son had expressed that after the P/T session he felt faint & not well enough to change into his street clothes in hopes I was parked out front. I had his phone & wallet with me. Also, when he noticed that children were in the area he struggled to try and not fall or faint in front of them while waiting for me, and decided to sit on the steps ( he did not want to scare them). I was so angry from the ordeal i wanted to march straight to a police supervisor, but my son was my priority. He explained that at first when he was approached he felt relieved, until the female officer started a negative interrogation. As he tried to explain she became more combative. A male police motorcyclist had just arrived and a 3rd was approaching when I drove up. I do not know exactly what happened within the 3 minutes that I ran to get my car and the female officer had pulled into the driveway spot , but I will tell you I felt threatened by her, and that she was on the border of abusing her authority to serve and protect. It is a sad day when you do not feel safe around police. I hope that one day my tax dollars would be spent on common sense training. Before harassing hard working tax payers who pay their salaries. I rarely have had a need or direct contact with police. If any, it would be to call 911 for a highway accident to get someone in need, quick assistance."

"Car accident causing traffic overflow on 75 north. Officer directing traffic was rude when a concerning citizen and resident of San Diego, CA, myself, was asked to redirect myself back away from south bay. Department also stated it would be about 15 to 20 mins for clear access back to Coronado when in reality it was more than 1+ hr waiy of the Coronado Bridge closure and 75 north to be cleared"
