Filing a Complaint

Philosophy

In the course of protecting our community there are times when actions or procedures are perceived questionable or improper, however our goal is to ensure that all staff are professional and courteous in the course of their duties. The University of Arizona Police Department is committed to maintaining professional integrity within the Department and within the eyes of the community. UAPD will investigate all complaints directed against its employees or practices.

The purpose of conducting a thorough investigation of complaints is to improve and maintain both personal and department integrity, accountability and quality of service to the community. Through a formal process of review, citizen confidence and trust is preserved which establishes and maintains open communications in the community we serve. Only a UAPD supervisor may accept a complaint.

UAPD will accept written, e-mail, FAX or verbal complaints.

You may also print out our pamphlet, "How to File a Complaint", which contains more detail about the process and has a form where you may write your complaint and hand-deliver to our department.
