All issues were dealt with in a very professional and speedy manner. I will second that speeding on neighborhood streets is a problem in Washougal. We petitioned the city for speed bumps and all they did was put up a temporary visual speed cart. The Police department would increasingly sit on our street corner after the complaint and wrote speeding tickets so KUDOS.
The second issue was a teenager speeding down the road and almost hit me. I threw a soda bottle at his car (dumb I know) which almost resulted in an altercation. Officer Day was called by the other party and responded.
I felt I was disrespected by the officers that were called to a matter of a cable line. As soon as me and my wife walked up it felt as if they already had us pegged as the bad guy in the situation. I have a severe mental illness along with PTSD which is heightened by the police. I was beginning to have a panic attack after the officers threatened to take my wife and caregiver to jail for criminal mischief. The younger officer told me to stop this and act like an adult. I am sorry if my illness makes me agitated one minute and fearful the next. It is not something I have control over. (((((( Now I am fearful of being alone while my wife is at work )))))
Lived in Washougal for 4 years. Only had to use the police there twice. Both times Officer Day was the responding officer. The first issue was a guy actively breaking into my neighbors and I's vehicles. Officer day was very prompt and was able to catch the guy which resulted in a conviction for like 13 home robberies.
I disagree comletely- I had an incident where the IQ credit unions atm took my paycheck and blinked and went dark. My card and paychck now hostage I was Panicking. I called IQ bank only to find out they have nobody to report a lost card to all week, so i disabled the machine slightly so my card wouldnt spit out a few hours later {dumb move btw}- but the officer who ticketed me a day later was incredibly respectful, allowing me to meet him at the station instead of having another patrol car visit to my home. I do wish they would ticket the ever increasing speeders here on the main streets however. I've been here almost 20 yrs and the amount of 60+ in a 35mph zone is insane the last few years.
Older seasoned officers are okay... The younger officers need more life experience before they police a town like Washougal. This department was outted for lack of adhering to laws for procedures with disabled persons... Few years ago in the news when a Washougal officer repeatedly punched in the face a handcuffed schizophrenic man. I personally witnessed their lack of training with disabled persons three separate times. Culture in Washougal has started to move into an immoral environment in my opinion. We put our home on the market there in Washougal and moved.
