Sturt Police Station

Female police officer was extremely rude and abrupt when I came in to do a report about a motor vehicle accident that was in no way my fault. She automatically treated me like I was a criminal. If you don't know how to speak to members of the public you shouldn't be a police officer.

Excellent service, read some of the poorer google reviews before we went today, but this was not our experience at all today. The officer who assisted us this morning at Sturt Police Station was friendly, taking her time and care in reading through and understanding what we wanted in terms of signing documents. All this was sorted out in no time and with a friendly smile.

I contacted the police on 131444 regarding a matter and I was told that matter is illegal and I should go to report it to police station and take the photos with me. The female officer in Sturt station was so rude and told me she wasn't interested in looking into any pictures and or listening to me and said that's totally legal, and I should go to civil court when the matter isn't civil matter. I told her that I spoke to the police over the phone and that's what they instructed me to do. She said that the police on the phone 131444 are not police officers and they don't know the law and asked me to leave without consulting any of her colleagues and was yelling bye bye at me in a childish manner. I left and called 131444 and the officer consulted her Sargent and they sent a police patrol to my house and resolved the issue. The matter was illegal according to the legislations which the police had read as well in my house. Shame on the female officer at Sturt station for acting so rude and claiming she knows the law and being so emotional and racist at the same time and kicking a person out without consulting anybody. The officers who came to my house told me that they have read the regulations prior to coming when I gave them a copy of it and did their home work already. They showed high level of professionalism and they are an example of the police we need in our community. They were very respectful, understanding, operated according to the law, extraordinary police work. However, the blonde female officer with long hair and 2 stripes at the police station is a shame on her department to act in a rude, racist, and childish manner and playing up with the matters of the public like that. She needs to be removed from the front desk of the station because she clearly doesn't belong there.

Blonde female police officer was extremely rude and condescending and was invalidating the victim of a car crash. Not helpful and victim blaming, garbage excuse for a employee. Stop hiring entitled privileged people with raging attitude, power and ego issues.

Read so many comments below, glad I am not the only one. Rang to sturt police station on 22/9 , want to add on more mising item on the police report. An old female voice answered the phone, she said she had no idea what I am talking about and saud just come to the police station youself ! Rude with bad attitude! If you are so sick and tired about this job, just retired early, don't waste tax payers money. This is absolutely ruining the reputation of Sturt police station. Anyway, who cares!

Letting tel. ring for over 50 mins now, no response on a Saturday early afternoon.First I have a long wait with ca. 3 mins total silence from the Sturt Police Station in response to my call, with no acknowledgement (as if to discourage waiting and make the caller hang up).Then comes a recorded voice, with no info in between, saying every 35 seconds All representatives are currently attending to other calls. We will answer your call asap". Still waiting after 50 mins as I write this...Can only confirm negative reviews. This is even worse than Norwood Police Station

Had an incredibly helpful friendly office namely Vic and also her and the rest of the staff were fantastic in processing documents etc. Would highly recommend this police station undoubtedly.

Does wearing a badge give you a right to be so rude? It was extremely hard with my hearing loss disability, and further anxiety due to mandatory masks, as I usually lip read. I had it figured out with live transcribe, body language, and tone of voice, female police officer was just plain rude. I came home feeling upset and really disappointed that I had gone through that. And this was simply for having witness signing done.

Just a terrible experience all round! If you are close by, go to the Glenelg police station. Far friendlier and seem to have a far better concept of how to communicate effectively ha!

Was driving normally in left lane during roadworks in 40 zone. Police car exits the station and begins his journey on the right lane. Let’s a group of normal, everyday cars pass and then intentionally moves from right lane to left lane behind me. Police seem to do this quite often despite me driving a white, Alfa Romeo (Not a suspicious car).Police car started keeping an unsafe distance while I was driving 40 in a 40 zone. Continued to do so despite there being a clear right lane to pass me if he wanted to.Eventually we came to a traffic light intersection on an incline and had to stop. It seems that because I drive a manual transmission, he then decided to move unnecessarily close behind me so that if I roll back I cause an accident.After we moved off (no roll back) he decides to continue tailgating me in the left lane, eventually we merge to one lane and then decides to turn his car (gently) from left to right while laughing with his fellow police officer in the passenger seat.Clearly tried to intimidate me to drive at an excess speed and hand me an infringement. Pretty poor behaviour from the SAPOL in my opinion. I’m not happy that these two police officers, (female passenger in her 30s & male driver in his 50s) are driving with this attitude. It’s unacceptable.At least some police officers are much more respectful and courteous than these two that I had to deal with. Would expect much more professional behaviour in Australia but I guess we have some police officers with an attitude problem here as well.
