How to file a complaint about a Kauai 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 Kauai Police Department, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Kauai County Police Commission — independent civilian oversight
The Kauai County Police Commission is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Kauai 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 Kauai County Police Commission so it is reviewed independently. You keep a copy, and it takes about five minutes. Start your complaint here.
