A complaint (including a complaint with respect to each ticket, citation, or warning issued by a peace officer) must be submitted in writing and be notarized. The complainant will be asked to fill out a statement detailing the events leading to the complaint which will be forwarded to the appropriate investigating officer (i.e. Patrol, Investigations, Animal Control, etc.).

The assigned investigator will use any and all evidence available to resolve the complaint. If a solution cannot be reached, the complaint will be submitted through the chain of command. The Chief of Police will determine whether to order an Internal Affairs Investigation and will decide on the appropriate action.

A request for the appointment of a Citizens Advisory Board must be made in writing to the City Secretary.
