How to file a complaint about a Brattleboro Police Department officer
The Brattleboro Police Department serves roughly 12,078 residents. If you had a problem with an officer, you have three distinct ways to file a complaint — and they are not equivalent. Here is how each one works in Brattleboro, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Citizen Police Communications Committee — independent civilian oversight
The Citizen Police Communications Committee is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Brattleboro Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. It accepts anonymous complaints, so you can file without giving your name. No notarization is required to file.

Good to know
- As of our last audit, the Brattleboro Police Department homepage did not link to a complaint-filing page — one reason many residents struggle to find the correct channel.
