Commending Exceptional Performance

Making a Complaint
It has been our experience that many complaints involve a misunderstanding of police policy or procedure and are often resolved by speaking with supervisory personnel. While we encourage you to try this avenue, we understand that some complaints require a full inquiry.
A complaint can be made electronically utilizing the forms attached. Forms are also located at the Division of Safety Services; Support Operations Unit located on the Campus of Connecticut Valley Hospital and can be obtained by calling (860) 262-5326.
The Civilian Complaint Form is available in both English and Spanish and once completed may be submitted to a Police Supervisor or the Chief of Police.
