Thank you for the excellent service today. My car was stolen from my workplace. Within minutes, the police were there and we were tracking my car via an AirTag. They were able to find the car quickly, arrest those involved, and were very professional. All of them. Thank you for your excellent care!
Please acknowledge Sgt Mewis, badge #7220. I asked an officer to check by my elderly sister's residence in North Austin for a welfare check. I live about three hours away. Sgt. Mewis did so and spent about two hours with her. He helped me to make certain decisions with regard to her welfare. I thank him for his kindness and concern.
Thank you Sgt. Mewis.
I would like to commend Officers Henrichs and Culbertson, who responded to a car crash in which my cousin was involved on May 29, 2024. My cousin had just left from a visit with me to head home to Tomball when her car was hit by an uninsured driver who ran a red light a few miles from my house. I was not in the car but came to the location after my cousin called me, as she is a minor. Thankfully, everyone was okay, but my cousin had never been involved in a car crash and was shaken up. The uninsured driver also complicated the situation. Officers Henrichs and Culbertson were incredibly professional, courteous, and helpful in dealing with the incident and made sure my cousin had all the do…
Dear Austin Chief of Police,
This email today is in regard to Austin officer Rachel Stahlke. I've waited almost two years to send this email. I wanted to be able to paint a broader picture of the impact that she has had on my son and I. In 2022 my 19 year old son and his girlfriend were involved in a hit and run crash on North Lamar. They were on his motorcycle as it was struck and went airborne and came down and slid across the pavement causing serious injuries. Officer Stahlke was one of the first officers on the scene. She stayed with my son on the scene and went to the hospital with them. She called me at work and promised me she wouldn't leave him. This meant so much to me as…
I wanted to say thank you and commend two police officers (Officers Brian Galvan and Joseph Murray) who helped my 16-year-old son out this morning. Unfortunately, I don't know their names, but hope that this will somehow get back to them. My son was driving to his soccer game when his tire blew out and shredded. He's a new driver so he wasn't sure what to do....called us and we jumped in the car to drive from Dripping Springs. In the mean time he was stuck on the off-ramp at W. Cesar Chavez from MOPAC going north with a shredded tire. Before we could get there, two police officers came to offer help. One asked him if he knew how to put the spare on. He didn't - he's only had his license f…
On Tuesday, July 16, 2019, I was involved in a three-car collision at a traffic light on Parmer in north Austin. Our cars were tangled and we were blocking traffic so we called 9-1-1. I just want to say how impressed I was with Officer David Montalvo. He arrived promptly and figured out how to resolve the traffic blockage. He got us all safely to a parking lot and gathered information in an efficient manner. What impressed me most was how courteous and patient he was, despite dreadful heat that afternoon. It was gratifying to see an officer handle this situation in such a professional manner. He even tried to make my car drivable to save me from calling a tow. The car was too far gone but…
Driving to work this morning, I noticed several people standing on the grounds of the St. David's North Austin Medical Center looking concerned and pointing at something. I pulled over and saw they were looking at a baby deer who had become trapped inside a fenced drainage area. Fortunately, an Austin police officer just happened to be driving by, and we flagged her down. She listened as we explained the problem. Just then, a second officer stopped by. Together, the two officers approached the deer and helped guide him over the fence—to freedom! We all made sure the fawn made it safely acros…
