Important

Each complaint is taken very seriously and will always be fairly and impartially investigated. It is impossible to put a time limit on any investigation, as the seriousness of the allegations vary, but be assured that every effort will be made to update specific complainants about specific cases. The Professional Standards Unit can be reached anytime between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday at (916) 627-3309.

You should also be aware that if you knowingly and maliciously make a false complaint of misconduct against an officer, that officer may seek money damages from you in a civil lawsuit. (Civil Code section 47.5) It is against the law to make a complaint that you know to be false. If you make a complaint against an officer knowing that it is false, you can be prosecuted for a misdemeanor (Penal Code 148.6).
