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