How to file a complaint about a Colorado Mental Health Institute officer
If you had a problem with an officer, you have two distinct ways to file a complaint — and they are not equivalent. Here is how each one works in Colorado Mental Health Institute, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Behavioral Health Ombudsman — independent civilian oversight
The Behavioral Health Ombudsman is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Colorado Mental Health Institute officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.
2. File through Sivil
Sivil delivers your complaint by email to the right recipient for this department — routed to the Behavioral Health Ombudsman so it is reviewed independently. You keep a copy, and it takes about five minutes. Start your complaint here.
Good to know
- As of our last audit, the Colorado Mental Health Institute homepage did not link to a complaint-filing page — one reason many residents struggle to find the correct channel.
