How to file a complaint about a Forest Heights Police Department 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 Forest Heights Police Department, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.

1. Prince George's County Police Accountability Board — independent civilian oversight

The Prince George's County Police Accountability Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Forest Heights Police Department 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 Prince George's County Police Accountability Board so it is reviewed independently. You keep a copy, and it takes about five minutes. Start your complaint here.
