Newport News Police Review

The NNPD has been doing an amazing job. Thank you for always reaching out to form a strong relationship with our youngest citizens. The bond you form with our youth will create a community that we can all be proud of.

Most useless police department i ever encountered. They were really rude. Called them about accident when a drunk driver hit my car. They said they couldn't come to scene because they do police reports over phone not in person. I called them back and go a different person. That person said we don't do reports over the phone and then they said they will send a cop car to scene. Cops came to scene didn't ticket or arrest the guy. Gave us his information card but didn't policy number for insurance and that person was uninsured with suspended driver. I am not making this up these police officers just seem like they wanted to go to popeyes than do anything with the accident. Just call their number and see how ghetto that place is. It is shame when police is just as worse as the thugs we have on these streets. Citizens of Newport News deserve better than this.

My girlfriend was a victim of a scam and the Police were very helpful. We live in Maine and they still were extremely helpful. Thank you NNPD.

When I called a very pleasant woman answered the phone and provided the information needed. THANK YOU!

Instead of trying to stop crime they spend time writing traffic tickets, on marked parking spots

Officer Figuora is a phenomenal human being and Officer! Kids that are being bullied need his encouragement and to hear his kind words!!

I was driving on Sunday night and was pulled over. The officer informed me that my third brake light was out. I got it fixed the next day.

I called NN Police because my car was damaged as the result of an accident and the other driver left the scene. The dispatcher that answered acted like I was bothering him and rattled off a number I should call, but the POLICE couldn't assist me. I guess in NN you gotta be shot, stabbed or dead on the street for the Police to assist.

You only get one star because NO stars isn't a rating. USELESS!

Stuck on phone so long i went to the department while on hold and talked to an officer in person before i reached anybody.

The chief of police is a criminal that steals peoples property, assaults them and then abuses his authority to arrest the victim. I'm sure he's staffed the department with like minded people

useless. someone hit my new truck and the officer wouldn't even go over to my complex to review the video evidence, after I had the complex pull and time-mark the dates! completely unprofessional!

Lethargic at best on the phone! Whoever it was on the phone acted as if she had been drinking,.

NO help at all !
Exactly what you would expect from a police department in a city of criminals.

Officer oberry and his fellow partners were soooo kind and consoling as I dealt with the senseless destruction of private property

Officer a s Watkins was very rude to me after I tried to ask him questions about my son. Just because you are an officer doesn't make you more higher n smarter then I am hangs the phone up on me five times when I tried to ask him several questions.called being rude from the jump very unprofessional. Mr goss can you train your officer to be polite to people.

Not helpful at all, was involved in a collision and told me they couldn't do anything about it. Very rude and felt like I was a bother to them. Would have been zero stars if that was an option!!!!!!

I would like to express the super job that units #3368 and #3361 did for the funeral prosession through NN for a dear passed friend of mine,it was performed like a presidential escort, again a job well done. This was done on 2 Nov 2018 around 1400 hrs.

Used multiple times when I had a home invasion, home burglary, home invsasion/theft/ death threats, narcotics in my rentals, and to remove violent/drunk contractors. I feel more comfortable living in Newport News than York county. All officers I have interacted with very professional, courteous, and respectful and fair to both parties.

The officers at Newport News Police Dept are prime examples of why the distrust between underserved communities and law enforcement continues in 2019. They will cross four lanes of traffic to pull you over for any "perceived" violation. However, good luck trying to receive help with any actual crime occuring. The officers are poorly trained and the culture of disrespecting citizens has gone on too long. People in the community don't see this department as assets but are TERRIFIED of losing their freedom or life over the smallest misinderstanding. Something has to be done about the poor conduct and lack of training and something will be done. Avoid these people at all cost and record every interaction.

Called 3 days ago about loud music in the neiberhood. Im Still on hold!!! Completely useless!!!!

The actual office is a beautiful building. The staff could have been friendlier, but they were very informative and efficient.

This is video of Lt Dunbar and his anonymous crony Jenkins coming all the way across 6 lanes of Jefferson Avenue to tell me I am being warned not to maliciously press the crosswalk button in turn violating Virginia TRAFFIC CODE by impeding traffic. Officers should be held accountable and reprimanded for not stating there name and badge number when asked. As well as making laws up and mentally harassing the public.

You are star, enjoyed my stay. I got so good sleep, Kay Luv Enterprise

The officers don't even try anymore. You have to get murdered to make the nnpd do their job.

It's been an hour and they have yet to arrive. I know some of the NNPD officers but the department as a whole has no interest in following up with a citizens complaint
