How to Request an Investigation
If a person has filed a complaint
with the Police Department alleging misconduct by a police
officer, he or she is also entitled to request an investigation
by the Police Civilian Review Board. All complaints alleging
excessive use of force will automatically be referred from the
Police Department’s Internal Affairs Unit to the Police Civilian
Review Board.
If the Board determines that a
complaint not alleging excessive force is to be
investigated, the Board’s Administrator will conduct a
side-by-side investigation with the Internal Affairs Unit.
When that investigation is complete, the Administrator will
report back to the Board. The Board will then make
recommendations to the Police Chief.
Rules for Filing a Request for an Investigation
A request for an investigation by the Board of a
case of alleged misconduct not involving excessive use of force
must be filed with the Administrator within four business
days of the complaint being filed with the Police
Department.
All complaints must first be filed with the
Police Department’s Internal Affairs Unit. The Police Civilian
Review Board does not have jurisdiction over complaints unless
they have been filed with Internal Affairs. The phone number of
Internal Affairs is 801-799-3351. If necessary, the
Administrator can assist you in filing a complaint with Internal
Affairs.
