Philadelphia Police First District at 2301 South 24th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience with a woman at the front (bottom floor). I was treated with zero regard to my emergency situation, and was being very disrespectful at first. At the time, my emotional state was rattled, and instead of her being understanding, I was literally yelled at like a child. It escalated before it got better. It never should have gotten to that point to begin with. Then, I was confronted by another back office employee, who was working at the time (note: neither of these people are police officers). He came out from behind the glass window, and, like a school techer, told me to "quiet down/calm down because I was disrupting the others upstairs working". Unbelievable, being I would think when I have an emergency situating concerning my safety and life. One would think they'd get a little more compassion and help from the local police department when in need. I truly thought I was being punk'd or something like that. It was nonsensical and absurdity at it's best. **Other than that poor experience, my various other dealings/interactions with the officers and special detectives in the 1st District (especially the Lt. and the Sgt.--very kind and respectful men!) is mostly positive. With over 100 officers in the district alone, you're eventually going to get a bad one, but overall my experiences with them (unfortunately I have had to call 911 more than once) were above average.
