This department cares about $$$$$, not it's town or people. Speed traps on Sunday mornings for all the church goers. BS reasons to stop people with the goal to impound your car to get $$$$ to get it out. Chilli now has the record for the largest increase in DUI'S in the state. Half the town walks everywhere or bikes now. They don't investigate any crimes. Crime rates are significantly up in Chilli because the police are all sitting on RT. 29. They have about 14 cops for a town of 6000. Seriously! !!???. Taxpayers and the people of Chilli are being scammed and not protected or served by their local police dept.
Apparently it's normal practice for their officers to tell people not to press charges on others for assault. A female family member of mine was assaulted and the officer told her it was a waste of his time and hers to press charges against the guy. Stating they probably wouldn't pursue the case anyway. So is this just a lazy officer not wanting to work or is it department policy?
I live right up the street on Galena, this weekend was summer camp music festival, I've been going for about 6 years now. I've always welcomed my friends into this area and tried to show them how much I love this town and coming back home. This year at scamp my friend got hit in the face with a champagne bottle from behind. He went to press charges at summer camp and was told there was nothing they could or would do for him. So, anyone can come into town and get beat up and you just send them home with a bandaid and a pat on the back? Come back again soon? Ok. He then left the festival and went to the actual Chillicothe police station and they let him file a report. It's not your whole police station that upset me, just the men who looked at my friend's BROKEN JAW and told him they didn't care. That's not how you treat people, and further more when we were woken up on Monday morning at about 9:30- I wish I had a video (but I was trying so hard to get my stuff together fast) -because of how many cops started pulling tents and canopies from the ground and thrashing them about (or trying to, but sometimes there'd be people still in them!) and CUT THE STRAPS on my friends hammock he was sleeping in!? Without even yelling first to wake him up! Which would have still been annoying but preferred over scissors. He could have been hurt. Is this how you'd want your daughter or son to be treated? Wouldn't that upset you a little? This is not how you treat people. You are here to protect and serve, I do not see where I could have said you protected or served my innocent friends this weekend. And if you would like the continued support of your community then I think you should revist the meaning of the golden rule: treat unto others as you wish to be treated. Please consider what I said, it is only meant to benefit our community, it's nice when we can all count on each other and support one another, not cut their hammock straps.
If you call them they will come.
