This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I hired Diop Kamau and his associates at the Police Complaint Center to help me deal with ongoing harassment by the local police who are friends of my ex-husband. I hired and trusted the PCC based on the fact that they were linked to other legitimate law enforcement websites and also because of the award-winning investigations they advertised on their website. Instead of helping me, they convinced me that I needed to purchase numerous expensive goods and services that I either never actually saw or which were always delayed. When I realized I'd been defrauded of over $60, 000.00, I confronted them and was threatened, stalked, harassed, and libeled repeatedly: Kamau tried to extort an additional $8, 000 from me; one of his employees emailed me a death threat and sent me another email that contained a copy of 2 pages of my private fax to an attorney he'd somehow illegally obtained; Kamau threatened illegal invasions by his employees, the local police, AND my ex-husband of our home to remove illegal surveillance devices; my SSN was used without my knowledge to make a purchase from Pre-Paid Legal Services (a company Kamau is a commissioned salesman for that is currently under a federal fraud investigation); and MUCH MORE. I have recently obtained contact information for other victims of Kamau and the PCC from all over the U.S. If all this doesn't scare you off, you can read more horror stories posted by "Guest" (complete with case file #s) at the LEO Affairs website. Kamau has contacts in other states, as shown by the copies of 2 of my check backs (which were converted to wire transfers without my knowledge), yet the FBI has refused to do anything to stop him! (because he trains police officers at FSU and FL A&M?).

Ms. Hoerster:

Is it still your position the the Fredericksberg police chief conspired with your husband's brother to kill you?

As a practiced consultant, I can say unequivocaly, that the number of complaints the PCC receives against the volume of cases assisted is neglidgible. And, after revewing a few complaint's, two or three? Bouncing around a self-serving echo chamber, I can concude that Kamau helps a lot of people in need.

Most attorneys will not take any police abuse case unless it involves the drawing of weapons, deployment of tools of incapacitation, physical incapacittation, and/or death. Why, because most cases will only bring smaller, settlements and by far will be more expensive than it's worth for a law firm to litigate. This has created a settlement gap where it is difficult to garner legal representation even though your case has merit. This is not Mr. Kamau's fault but it is the unfair nature of the system.

Perhaps the minimal number of his critics misunderstood what they signed up for. Mr. Kamau is an experienced investgator and expert wittness. He has fullfilled that role and more with me. In fact he has been working with me for six months on an at least bi-weekly basis. Per hour I'm paying a low professional rate as compared to an attorney at this point.

I am represented by different attorneys at key points in the process. But I find it's better to have your act together before you really start piling up the legal bills. Some police departments legal strategy is to overwhelm you with shear resources.
Of course the big factors are the those of your individual case.

I'm sorry the few copmlaintants feel like they we're ripped off. That's not how I feel, nor the majority of Kamau's client's. And, if Kamau doesn't have a lot of clients then how is he making the hundreds of thousands that he is? That argument is internally consistent and not logical.

For the Critical Thinker: Don't you suppose that there are people who don't like what Kamau is doing? Like taking on a system the incarcerates more people than any place on the planet? There is a political element when going against the grain the way Kamau is, no?

I can not speak for anyone else's experience. However; I had a small problem, which was actually mistaken identity and the problem was resolved. In my case the law enforcement agencies were involved and the case was resolved quickly. What I thought was a problem with local law enforcement was not, and through a general meeting of the minds, the case was resolved. I am HAPPY with Mr. Kamau, Policeabuse.com, and my local law enforcement agencies. Everything worked out PERFECTLY!

Again, this is MY experience and was a pleasant one.

Just my two cents.

Thank you.

Very Sincerely,

Topeka, Kansas :)

Give us all the information and proof and we will give it to the police. Don't sign up for an account with them. Could the police end up with your information and put it in their trouble maker file? There are better places to go for help check them out online.

Just to the jerks who are supporting this con man, diop kamau, then apparently like minds think alike and act a like in order for you to support this crook who has ripped me off and thousands of others from 2007 until now.

Once a dirty cop always a dirty cop wherever they are and whatever they do. Diop Kamau is just one more proving that fact.
