How to file a complaint about a St. Cloud Police Department officer

The St. Cloud Police Department serves roughly 69,922 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 St. Cloud, based on Sivil's audit of public records and agency websites.

1. Police Review Board — independent civilian oversight

The Police Review Board is a civilian agency that reviews complaints about St. Cloud Police Department officers outside the department's own chain of command — your complaint is not investigated by colleagues of the officer involved.

2. St. Cloud Police Department St. Cloud Police Department Professional Standards — the department's internal channel

Complaints filed with St. Cloud Police Department Professional Standards are investigated inside the department itself. Identification is required to file.

3. File through Sivil

Sivil delivers your complaint by email to the right recipient for this department — routed to the Police Review Board so it is reviewed independently. You keep a copy, and it takes about five minutes. Start your complaint here.
