Arcata Police Department at 736 F Street, Arcata, California.

The administrative staff here is incredible. They are hard-working, polite, and excellent at their jobs. Being a public servant is not easy but they do their job efficiently and with integrity. I have law enforcement officers in my family and I know the whole department is a team who make sacrifices everyday to protect and serve. My experience with APD was ultimately extremely positive.

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were taking a nap in our car, around 9am we got woken up by an officer, we were hanging out at the Somoa beach which is my favorite place to go and cool off, he asked us what brought us up there and we told him we have friends here and we mostly came to get away from the heat in the East Bay, now I have health conditions, I have migraines From trauma throughout the years I was abused, he lied to us saying it was 100 degrees out there which was wrong, plus he accused us of leaving trash near our car, our trash was bagged up, the trash he was talking about was already there ever since we started going to that beach, it wasn't hot, it was cold, that's why we came to Eureka to cool off, somebody like that shouldn't lie about the weather being hot out there, yes we're from the Bay Area, but we came to Eureka to see our friends, go to the beach and we're planning on living out there, but we don't appreciate being lied to by the officer, cause when I looked at my weather app on my phone, it clearly said that it was 57 degrees, he told us it was 100, and most of all, we most certainly don't appreciate him telling us about the trash that wasn't ours, our trash was clearly bagged, I remember because every time we go there, I throw our trash away immediately, I think he needs to be fired or something, you don't lie to us about stuff like that, it was uncalled for, disrespectful and we will not tolerate that, so hopefully someone will do something about this, maybe they need to get people out there to clean up the mess over there, cause that stuff has been there since we started going to the beach.
