How to file a complaint about a Oklahoma City Police Department officer
The Oklahoma City Police Department serves roughly 700,764 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 Oklahoma City, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Community Public Safety Advisory Board — independent civilian oversight
The Community Public Safety Advisory Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Oklahoma City Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. It accepts anonymous complaints, so you can file without giving your name. No notarization is required to file.
