Client Review on City Of Leander

Feedback:

Although the officers were very polite. They need better training on their admin work. I called for help, and when they arrived they ran my license. I am giving 2 stars because the officers took care of my issue. However, I was approached by one of the officers who told me I had a Felony warrant for my arrest and had to go to jail. I was shocked that I had a Felony charge against me and had no idea of any warrant. I cooperated because there is no sense in arguing with the police. When I was at the county jail before the judge he tells me my charge is just a misdemeanor from another county in 2013 and I should have just been notified and allowed to stay at my job. The lead officer that arrested me even confirmed that if it had been a misdemeanor they would let me be on my way. I have 0 trust in the information given to me by the Leander Police department. I was lied to by 3 of their officers, and arrested at my work for no reason according to them and the Williamson County Judge I saw. I would recommend calling a different department out to fact check Leander. They have a bunch of new recruits that seem to have a hard time reading paperwork. This will not be the last I talk about this as it caused me a lot of embarrassment, and almost cost me my job. They may be friendly, but I would prefer professional or experienced instead. I am 34 and was arrested by people younger than me. Overall they we're not very mature, and often we're joking around a lot. I have worked with several police forces in the past, and Leander seems to have a very young group. They need some support from senior leadership to be a little more straight edge. It made me very uncomfortable that they could misread my warrant, and possibly due to their lack of attention to detail. They constantly put their backs to me because I was nice. If I was dangerous one of them could have gotten hurt because they did not follow strict police procedures when making an arrest.
