Does anyone have any info on this department?

[Cardinal]

Good guys. Fun town to work but it seems the guys that bust their hump end up getting in trouble for ticky tack stuff.

[the_rocket17]

can you elaborate on that?

[IMPDNE]

I don't work for SBPD, but I'm sure its the same as any other department. What Cardinal refers to is the phenomenon that proactive officers get complained on for stupid ****.

[the_rocket17]

Copy that, well you can still be proactive like myself and use your verbal judo, its worked for 5 years with me. Not one complaint.

It's coming. Probably from the person you least expect it to come from too...

Verbal Judo....;0

[Cardinal]

Verbal judo won't stop a citizen from complaining that you were driving 38mph in a 35mph. Or a citizen from complaining that you spend all shift at 7-11 even though all you did was stop in to go to the bathroom and grab a coke. It won't stop a citizen from complaining that you were just not the officer friendly that they expected because you just came from a call where you fought a drunk twice your size into handcuffs. It also won't stop a citizen from complaining that your flashlight blinded them on the traffic stop and it made them feel like a criminal.
