How to file a complaint about a Minneapolis Police Department officer
The Minneapolis Police Department serves roughly 422,341 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 Minneapolis, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Office of Police Conduct Review — independent civilian oversight
The Office of Police Conduct Review is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Minneapolis Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.
2. Minneapolis Police Department Office of Police Conduct Review — the department's internal channel
Complaints filed with Office of Police Conduct Review are investigated inside the department itself. The office investigates anonymous complaints.
