I've been a resident of Auburn for quite a while now, almost 25 years, and in my younger years dealing with Auburn pd I wouldn't say they did their job as good as many departments. They used to have some pretty bad officers on the force but seem to have weeded a lot of them out. That being said, there still seems to be that same ol attitude that many arrogant cops have when they carry the gun and badge with a power hungry mentality. Every department in this country needs to be retrained in LAW (including the Auburn police department) and actually obey the LAW, not think they're above the LAW just because they wear a costume and carry a badge and a gun. Auburn pd is getting better, but they still have a long way to go as far as training officers to obey the same laws the rest of us regular citizens MUST obey to show they are a trustworthy police department. I hope to see some good change in the Auburn pd in the near future because I would love to give my police department more than 2 stars, but until that change happens, 2 is all they'll get from me.
