Filing guide

How to file a complaint about a Putnam Police Department officer

If you had a problem with an officer, you have two distinct ways to file a complaint — and they are not equivalent. Here is how each one works in Putnam Police Department, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.

1. Putnam Special Services District Authority — independent civilian oversight

The Putnam Special Services District Authority is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about Putnam Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.
