Terrible experience when asking for help. Called after a disagreement with a fellow male resident at my apartment complex when the two residents yelled at us and the male kept walking up to me and then walked up to my mother holding my 5 month old daughter. I was given a hard time about filing a report and felt like they didn t want to file my report at first, had to talk to the Sergeant supervisor to make sure a report could be filed. Then was given sexist remarks about how I am emotional from postpartum and had to listen to the male Sergeant tell me how my body works. Despite my wearing scrubs and explaining that I work in the medical field. I felt my fear was belittled, a real fear of this male resident threatening us and knowing where we live and knowing our vehicle. Needless to say they repeatedly told us there was no crime committed and that my mother was not a valid witness. They didn t even interview her until I asked them to, for the report. They told me that most people film their incidences for evidence, so my advice is to film as much as possible next time-because they prefer a tears as evidence. They chose the tears of the other resident as better evidence of the argument and decided nothing could be done. I do not feel safe at all in this community after this incident and feel that I cannot call Mesa police for help anymore, but after reading similar reviews perhaps it is their precinct that is the problem.
