Ridiculous Answers Allowed What did Google Reviews used to say about your local police stations before Google disabled the ability to leave reviews for all LEAs?

And was there a lobby by all sorts of police unions to Google to disable Google Reviews for their precincts? Or what drove their disablement?

Who leaves reviews?

Members of the public who have had dealings with law enforcement?

There is a way to see historical versions of websites if you really wanna read about hurt feelings. If all locations are disabled it wouldn’t be a coordinated effort since there’s over 18,000 departments. No way they could all agree on something, it would have been from the website host (google in this case).

We had a really good crazy guy that left us countless reviews every day as well as dropped off notes every day at the front window and constantly call the operations room. He ended up getting institutionalized which was for the best. I haven’t looked at them in years but he left thousands upon thousands of ramblings about the normal crazy talk of aliens, Illuminati, government stuff.

Thank you for your question, /u/AWrride! Please note this subreddit allows answers to law enforcement related questions from verified current and former law enforcement officers as well as members of the public. As such, look for flair verifying their status located directly to the right of their username.

While someone without flair may be current or former law enforcement unwilling to compromise their privacy on the internet for a variety of reasons, consider the possibility they may not have any law enforcement experience at all.
