Submit a Compliment or Complaint

How Do I

Recognize an employee for exceptional service or file a formal complaint about conduct. Complaints are reviewed by the Professional Standards Division.

The Chesterfield Township Police Department welcomes both commendations and formal complaints. Citizen feedback helps the department recognize exceptional service and address conduct that falls below its standards, and it is an important part of maintaining accountability. Compliments are forwarded to the employee's supervisor for recognition.

Complaints are reviewed and investigated by the Professional Standards Division and handled with confidentiality in accordance with department policy. If you file a formal complaint you will be asked to provide a signed written statement. You may submit either type of feedback in person, by mail or by email using the Citizen Complaint / Compliment form.
