How to file a complaint about a Chandler Police Department officer
The Chandler Police Department serves roughly 282,419 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 Chandler, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Citizens' Panel — independent civilian oversight
The Citizens' Panel is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Chandler Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. Note that it requires identification — anonymous complaints are not investigated. No notarization is required to file.

2. Chandler Police Department Professional Services Division — the department's internal channel
Complaints filed with Professional Services Division are investigated inside the department itself. The department has not publicly confirmed whether anonymous complaints are investigated.
3. File through Sivil
Sivil delivers your complaint by email to the right recipient for this department — routed to the Citizens' Panel so it is reviewed independently. You keep a copy, and it takes about five minutes. Start your complaint here.
