How to file a complaint about a Corvallis Police Department officer
The Corvallis Police Department serves roughly 61,474 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 Corvallis, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Community Police Review Advisory Board — independent civilian oversight
The Community Police Review Advisory Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Corvallis Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. Complaints must be filed within 90 days of the incident.

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