In your community, what recourse is available to a person who complains of police misconduct or corruption? To what agencies may he or she submit the complaint?

What will be an ideal response?


The answer depends on the community and the availability of agencies that would receive such a complaint about police misconduct and/or corruption. The text lists a number of possible agencies. If the complaint is a civilian, the process is normally rather public and ordinary fairly easy. If the complaint is an employee of the police department, the complaint process is more complicated and the employee may be fired.
