1. Citizen's Police Review Board — independent civilian oversight
The Citizen's Police Review Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Muskegon Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.
2. Muskegon Police Department Muskegon Police Department Internal Affairs — the department's internal channel
Complaints filed with Muskegon Police Department Internal Affairs are investigated inside the department itself. Identification is required to file.
3. File through Sivil
