CITIZEN COMPLIMENT/COMPLAINT FORM
For over 30 years, California law has required each department or agency in this state that employs
peace officers to have a procedure for the investigation of complaints by members of the public
against its personnel. The policy of the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office is simple: we will conduct
a full and fair investigation into all complaints regarding our personnel. The Sheriff’s Office also has
a policy on recognizing employees for good conduct. We are now providing citizens with the ability to
report either good or bad conduct on one form, and we are making this form available on our
website.
Citizen Compliment / Complaint forms can be delivered to any of our offices or substations, or mailed
to our administrative office at the address shown below, or e-mailed to
. All compliment / complaint forms will be reviewed first by either the
Undersheriff or a Sheriff’s Captain. Compliments will be recognized appropriately—up to and
including a formal commendation or award. Complaints will be investigated fully and fairly.
Allegations of serious misconduct will be investigated by the Sheriff’s Professional Standards
Bureau. These investigations include interviews with the complaining party, witnesses, the involved
personnel and an examination of all physical and documentary evidence. Investigative reports are
reduced to writing. Pursuant to California law, each complaint will receive one of the following
dispositions: Sustained, Not Sustained, Unfounded or Exonerated. The Sheriff’s Office will provide
written notification to the complaining party of the disposition of the complaint within 30 days of the
disposition.
California Penal Code Statutes §832.5 and §832.7 provide further information about the complaint
investigation process. You can read these statutes by going to the website of California’s Legislative
Counsel. The URL is:
I have read and understand the above statement.
