Enumclaw Police Department

I actually have no problems at least with this police department, they helped us out when my buddy decided to be stupid in Greenwater, Yes I did get pulled over once by them– but the Police Officer that pulled me over was very professional and I would give him thumbs up, he didn’t give me the ticket even though I was speeding.
So overall, I have no issues with this police department (unlike the Fife Police which I dont like)

Please don’t think the other reviewers are just bitter, law breaking, mad at the cops with a grudge citizens… The Enumclaw court desk/​police station really IS that bad! I’m a 30 something, college education, law abiding member of this community and have had nothing but hassle from this city and it’s police force! I was pulled over for speeding (oops my bad! I earned this one) and was told to get out of my car??? I had 2 sleeping babies in the vehicle and was just trying to get home before they woke! Then I was told I would be going to jail., wait, what?!? I had been driving with a suspended license for 2 years?! How is that possible? Unpaid tickets they said! I have proof those tickets were paid off… So I took my proof to court! Turns out another beautiful clerical error on the part of our city’s government. I was let go but not after spending $ 79 to get my license back, having to pay for childcare, call their father from work to pick us up from the side of the road AND have the cop take «mug shots» of me with his camera phone near the side of the road. Yes, you heard that last part right. As my babies waited in the car the officer requested I say cheese while he whipped out his camera phone. I’m fairly sure this is not legit and he is just a creeper who wanted photos of a pretty girl.
A few months later we called the police because of a disturbance outside our house. We were told we were outside of city limits (we live next to Mt. peak, 2 miles from Safeway) and would need to call the county police. What?!? I think they are too busy trying to get money from their traffic cops to send any to our house in an actual emergency. Funny because when a drunk driver hit the telephone pole next to our house last weekend 6 Enumclaw officers had no problem crossing that city line
This police department is a JOKE. Officer Abel should be fired. The courthouse has a wonderful judge and friendly staff but when dealing with traffic tickets can’t seem to correctly file the paperwork causing you more time and money… Coincidence?

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Stay out of this town if your car is modified. But its ok if you you have a giant disel with a six inch exhaust because apparently that is allowed. Officer Tony Abel gave me a ticket for supposedly going 12 over but would not acknowledge that the huge disel that came barreling down and tailgating me might be the one to blame. I do not think he is very trust worthy. I pray that he gets everything he wants out of life.

A special thank you to the Enumclaw PD for the brief time in jail tonight –a clerical error surrounding a traffic violation somehow justifies being pulled out of the car, cuffed, treated like shit, booked and put in jail before bail is posted 45 minutes later. Great use of our tax dollars and everyone’s time, you’re doing fantastic work out there keeping the streets safe Officer Abel (and two other officers that we’re ‘backing him up’ on the exciting arrest).
And making sure the cuffs where as tight as they’d go on the hands of a cooperative subject –a TRAFFIC VIOLATION subject no less– was an ace move. Way to exert your manliness over a guy who wasn’t even questioning it or offering resistance in the least. Now I know why people hate cops.
Him insisting I didn’t have insurance while looking at my insurance card with a 2012 exp date was cool –he added a ‘no insurance’ infraction and fine to the ticket (I’ve had insurance forever). Along with BOTH ‘driving with a suspended license AND ‘driving without a valid license. Which is it, how can it be BOTH?!
So I check my files and sure enough, the ticket that caused my license to be flagged in the first place was for EXPIRED TABS (they expired 9/​2010, I got the ticket on 9÷8÷2010) and was ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF in DEC 2010. I even have the letter from the DOL stating as much.
THANKS for the fantastic night, officers and WS DOL –your lack of attention to detail with your OWN paperwork and subsequent over-​reaction was FANTASTIC! And really, THREE POLICE CARS to cuff and haul away a guy who was just driving his pregnant wife home from a friend’s house?
I hope to not visit this establishment again.
