Complaint Investigation

The department shall accept complaints from any person who believes he or she has been stopped or searched based on racial, ethnic or national origin profiling.

This department will inform the public of its policy against racial profiling and the complaint process. Methods that may be utilized to inform the public are the news media, radio, service or civic presentation, the Internet, as well as governing board meetings. Additionally, information will be made available as appropriate in languages other than English.

Investigation of a complaint shall be conducted in a thorough and timely manner. All complaints will be acknowledged in writing to the initiator who will receive disposition regarding said complaint within a reasonable period of time. The investigation shall be reduced to writing and any reviewer’s comments or conclusions shall be filed with the Sheriff.
