COMMENDATIONS
Compliments and commendations, whether verbal or written, are one of the best ways to let our employees know that you appreciate them. The administration encourages people to detail the actions performed by the officer(s) that you thought were exceptional. If you do not know the officer's name please provide as much information, such as the officer's badge number, the incident date, location, time, car number, etc. Although officers do not expect to be thanked for everything they do, recognition for exceptional service is always appreciated. This kind of feedback lets us know we are doing a good job.
Compliments and commendations may be made in writing (including letters or email), by telephone, or in person to:

INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
Once your complaint has been received, it will be
thoroughly investigated by the investigator designated by the Chief of Police.
The investigation will usually include a review of all applicable reports,

parties and witnesses involved. A simple inquiry may take only a few days to
complete, while a complex complaint may take two to three months to investigate
and review.
The Chief of Police ultimately reviews every complaint.
If the Chief of Police determines that an employee violated any departmental
policy or procedure, appropriate corrective action will be taken.

investigation, the complainant may contact the Office of the Chief of Police.
