How to file a complaint about a Prince George's County Police Department officer
The Prince George's County Police Department serves roughly 947,880 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 Upper Marlboro, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.
1. Office of Integrity, Compliance and Police Accountability — independent civilian oversight
The Office of Integrity, Compliance and Police Accountability is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Prince George's County Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved. Note that it requires identification — anonymous complaints are not investigated. No notarization is required to file.
