Complaints

The citizen complaint system is designed to provide people with a way to express their concerns about police service. This system provides a fair, factual, and objective review of an individual’s concern.

Reason of Complaint - First, you will need to be able to articulate what you think the employee did wrong. For example, do you believe:

 An officer used too much force during an arrest?

An employee was rude to you?

An officer violated your rights?

You are a victim of racial profiling?

All complaints should be filed within 60 days of the incident unless there are special circumstances. Complaints filed immediately improve the investigator’s chance of gathering factual information.

NOTE: Complaints about the underlying reason for a traffic citation or criminal arrest must be resolved by the court and cannot be investigated as a complaint against a police employee.

False Complaints – The Hamilton Township Police Department is committed to investigating concerns of employee misconduct. Officers can be targets of false complaints by people who seek revenge on them for doing their job. The Ohio Revised Code makes it a misdemeanor of the first degree to knowingly file a false complaint of misconduct against a peace officer. The Department feels that people need to know the law exists and that when appropriate, the charge will be filed against violators of this law. Please remember, it is not only expensive to investigate false complaints but can also affect an officer’s career. This information is given not to keep people from filing complaints but to inform them of the law.

Telephone: Call (513)683-0538, 24 hours a day. You can speak to a supervisor who will review your complaint. If your complaint needs an immediate response to collect evidence or witness statements, the supervisor will be sent to the incident location.
