Gardena Police Department at 1718 West 162nd Street, Gardena, California.

“Service with Pride and Professionalism” is how the Gardena Police Department claims to provide service but the reality is they lack professionalism. There is nothing ethical about treating a law abiding citizen, who is simply inquiring basic information, like a second class citizen. Bullying, making a mockery, providing futile responses, and making ignorant assumptions without further knowledge is the tendency that most of the officers pertaining to this department have in common. It is devastating to know that those in the Gardena police department who are supposed to protect and serve us don’t have the essential core values needed to perform their job accordingly. Unfortunately, members of this department don’t know the meaning of INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPECT, and PROFESSIONALISM. Their EGO is so inflated that their narcissistic behavior impedes them from being objective and sympathetic to anyone or anything. The lack of knowledge from the law enforcement officials regarding a particular situation is not justification for their obnoxious behavior. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, as stakeholders we deserve better. Some members of this department are a disgrace to the uniform and everything the uniform represents. Chief Edward Medrano should really implement the much needed changes that the Gardena police department needs and re-evaluated some of his officers because they are a reflection of him as leader.
