Mesa Police Department

The Mesa Police department allows its officers to commit crimes both on and off duty. The Mesa Police Department has covered up Officer Shawn Freeman's extreme domestic violence, child abuse, neglect and murder of his unborn child. Mesa PD has also covered up serious use of force incidents and civil rights violations Officer Shawn Freeman has committed while on duty. Mesa PD ignores its officers drug problems, steroid addictions, anger management problems, PTSD episodes, etc. The Mesa Police Department knowingly places members of the community at risk by continuing to employ these officers. Contact the FBI and the DOJ if you have issues with Mesa PD. There are multiple investigations open. The corruption needs to end.

Worthless. A neighbor was making unreasonable noise, by yelling and screaming like a wild animal. A violation of section E of Mesa noise code, cop personally witnessed this BS taking place, and does nothing, not even a warning. «Looks good to me». I guess I need to drive to the Mesa police department, show their supervisor the damn law, and have them correct it.

The Mesa Police Department offers a free tour of the Crime Lab every last Thursday of the month.
Kim was a fantastic tour guide giving us vast information of each department.
The crime lab is broken down into departments from finger print, DNA, bullestics, blood, drugs etc. With each department we arrived at she dove right in with what each area specialized in and really gave a lot of details.
This tour was very insightful for my daughter and I as she decides what area of law enforcement she wants to work in.
Kim mentioned that they do offer internship. The job posting on the website also will tell you what qualifications and education they are looking for.
If your interested in Law Enforcement or working at a Crime Lab I recommend taking the tour.

The Mesa Police Department Crime Lab is offering tours of their facilities to the public. The public tours are offered the last Thursday of every month at 3 p.m. To schedule a tour, call the main office at 480−644−2417. Tour space is extremely limited. For large groups, tours can be scheduled by calling 480−644−4362.

Another example today. Just for the record I was not pulled over. I don’t mind police officers with speed stops in our community. BUT don’t be that hypocritical officer who right after you pull someone over in your motorcycle fly down the road, run a red light just so you can park and give someone else a ticket. I left DOC because of corrupt officers. Your job is to enforce the rules NOT be above them. This happened today at approximately 0630 hours at the eastmark Ray road off of Ellsworth. Just in case someone even bothers reading this.

MESA, AZ PHOTO RADAR TICKETS EXPOSED AS FRAUD
Illegal police ‘speed traps’ are nothing new, but the increasingly low levels to which governments will stoop, to trick their constituents into believing speed traps are foolproof, know no limits — at least in gun-​slinging, trigger-​happy Arizona.
The Mesa Police Department has installed several photo enforcement cameras in anonymous locations, often near school zones.
One trap, at Skyline High School on Crismon Street between Southern and Broadway, consists of a pole with two signs mounted vertically: «SPEED LIMIT 35 WHEN LIGHTS ARE FLASHING» and «SPEED LIMIT 45 OTHER TIMES». The problem is the lights don’t flash, ever — making the posted speed limit 45 on this otherwise 7-​lane, high-​speed highway that runs, unfenced, within feet of the school campus.
One citation sent to a local resident driving a Chevrolet Suburban in February indicated her speed was «approximately 46 mph». She was charged with «speed not reasonable and prudent». The «ticket» was allegedly «signed» by someone named «Joseph Bonacci», whose badge ID #, coincidentally, end with «911», under the guise of «reasonable grounds to believe» a violation had been committed.
For those who can’t see it, «photo radar» is a ticking time bomb left in the terminal at the Airport of Due Process.
First, «approximately 46 mph» is not a legal standard of measure and, therefore, not evidence. The operative word here — «approximately» — is vague and ambiguous. «Approximately 46 mph» could be 47 mph or 45 mph or any other speed close to 46 mph which — absent the flashing lights — can not amount to conclusive proof of a violation of the de facto 45 mph limit.
Second, «speed not reasonable and prudent» is an opinion open to broad interpretation, and not an exact measure: what is reasonable and prudent under one set of conditions may not be reasonable and prudent under another.
Third, the statement, «reasonable grounds to believe» clearly evades the mandatory language, «violation committed in my presence», the required wording under which all law enforcement personnel issue traffic citations. If it didn’t happen in an officer’s presence it’s hearsay, which is inadmissible.
Another complaint last December charged a retired doctor driving a light-​colored Nissan with the same «speed not reasonable and prudent». The same fake witnessing officer alleged the crime took place «on Southern between Franklin and Brimhall» in the city of Mesa.
In researching this story we went in search of these locations to verify, photograph and document them.
In the instance by Skyline High School, we maintained a day-​long vigil on a typical Tuesday, with classes in session, monitoring the lights from 7 AM to 4 PM and found none flashing. A random check of neighbors, whose homes are within the proximity of the light poles, produced no one who ever recalls seeing the lights flash.
In the second instance, we drove the length of Southern Avenue in the city of Mesa, eastbound and westbound, and found no streets named Franklin or Brimhall. We interviewed a local Code Enforcement officer familiar with the area, but she never heard of any streets named Franklin or Brimhall intersecting Southern Avenue. Finally, in desperation, we even went to the Mesa Post Office and — SURPRISE! — they had no record of any such streets intersecting with Southern Avenue, either.
All speed control enforcement equipment is mandated by law to be regularly re-​calibrated to ensure it is operating accurately. In most instances this must be done after EACH use. Because of the cost, few law enforcement agencies bother. Any member of the public has the right to see the latest re-​calibration documents for any given speed control enforcement device. If the device has not been re-​calibrated, its accuracy cannot be relied upon, and any violation must be dismissed for lack of evidence.
EPILOG:
An increasingly corrupt government — from local politicians to coin-​operated Congress and the military — is becoming America’s most vocal complaint about over-​reaching government abuse of citizens’ constitutional rights.
Meanwhile, the credibility of Mesa’s police department and city officials continues its southbound flush down the toilet of no return: their website claims to provide helpful links indicating red-​light and speed enforcement locations and schedule. However, these links have been disabled and no information is provided — amounting to one more false promise.
If you should receive a camera-​generated traffic ticket, always assert your 6^th Amendment Constitutional rights.

And if you think you’ll just plead guilty, pay the fine and everyone will go home happy, think again: you’ll have a chargeable traffic conviction on your record and your insurance premiums will quickly head north with all due dispatch.
And for fines ranging from $ 250 to $ 500 for each alleged offense, it is NOT worth it.
