Citizen Complaint Form

The Alpine County Sheriff’s Office is committed to the protection of the rights of everyone. Unfortunately, a few citizens have used this complaint policy for retaliation or harassment against an employee when duties were properly discharged. It is therefore important that all allegations presented in a complaint are based on factual information.

You have the right to make a complaint against a peace officer for any improper police conduct. California Law requires this agency to have a procedure in place to investigate citizen complaints.

You have the right to a written description of this procedure. This agency may find after investigation that there is not enough evidence to warrant action on your complaint. Even if that is the case, you have the right to make a complaint and have it investigated if you believe an officer behaved improperly.

Citizen complaints, and any reports or findings relating to complaints, must be retained by this agency for at least five (5) years.
