To their credit, once law enforcement GETS the call, they are extremely quick to come out, if they actually decide it's worth their time, especially in that area. Every law enforcement officer i've met in the entire Bay Area has been a wonderful, professional person that i'd trust implicitly.
The problem is that there aren't enough of them, and they are dispatched very poorly.
I moved away from there for many reasons, and the above reasons were big ones.
I lived in Antioch for 8.5 years. Antioch is in Contra Costa Co.
My garage and vehicles were broken into 3 times. LEO never even came to my house to investigate. The third time, I was expressing my concerns that no one would come investigate. PD told me that if I knew who did it they would arrest them. I told them that if I knew who did it they would not have to respond, that I would take care of it. They told me not to take matters into my own hands.
I invested in an alarm system and a big dog. The dog was the best purchase I made. No one came around the house once Gunner was on his watch.
I am glad we were relocated back to Texas. The weather in Kalifornia is nice, but the liberal socialists have a stranglehold on the state.
