How does your local police department listen to the people it serves?
Find any department in the country. See how easy it is to file a complaint or share a compliment — and submit feedback in minutes, even if your department doesn't take it online.
Three signals of a department that wants to hear from you.
We don't grade departments on policy or outcomes — we grade them on whether the front door is open. These three features show that a department welcomes input.
Online Filing
We track which departments accept complaints and compliments online. If yours doesn't, we'll route your feedback for you.
Anonymous Reporting
Some experiences are too sensitive to attach a name to. We highlight departments that protect your privacy by default.
Clear Filing Info
Departments earn this badge when their homepage links to plain-language instructions for how to file feedback.
Departments that have opened all three doors.
These agencies accept online complaints, allow anonymous reporting, and publish clear, prominent how-to-file information on their websites.
If your department isn't set up to hear you, we'll deliver the message ourselves.
Submit feedback through Sivil and we'll forward it to the oversight agency or police department — even if your department doesn't have an online form.
