Loveland Police Department

Loveland Police Department (CO)

The Loveland Police Department serves roughly 78,656 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 Loveland, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.

1. Police Citizen Advisory Board — independent civilian oversight

The Police Citizen Advisory Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Loveland Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.

2. Loveland Police Department Loveland Police Department Professional Standards Unit — the department's internal channel

Complaints filed with Loveland Police Department Professional Standards Unit are investigated inside the department itself. The office investigates anonymous complaints.

• Phone: (970) 962-2834
• Department page on the complaint process

3. File through Sivil

Sivil delivers your complaint by email to the right recipient for this department — routed to the Police Citizen Advisory Board 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 Loveland Police Department homepage did not link to a complaint-filing page — one reason many residents struggle to find the correct channel.
• General department line: 970-667-2151
