Policy
[horizontal rule]

Anyone wishing to file a complaint regarding the conduct of an ASU Police Department (ASU PD) staff member(s) should first contact the staff member’s supervisor. If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, the complainant will be asked to submit a written complaint requesting a formal investigation; however, all complaints, including anonymous complaints against ASU PD or its employees will be investigated to ensure the agency’s integrity while protecting the rights and interests of private citizens, students, and employees. ASU PD accepts all written and oral allegations of employee misconduct from an internal or external source.

Upon receipt of a written complaint, the ASU PD staff member’s supervisor will conduct an investigation and notify the complainant of the outcome.

Note: Complaints against ASU PD employees may also be submitted to the Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) and forwarded to the Internal Affairs (IA) Division of ASU PD.
