Let's say you have a complaint about the practices or personnel of the University of California Police Department, Irvine. What can you do about it?
A proper relationship between the police and the public they serve, fostered by confidence and trust, is essential to successful law enforcement. Police personnel must be free to exercise their discretion and best judgment in situations of danger or disorder and to initiate action in a reasonable, lawful and impartial manner without fear of reprisal, while also observing the rights of all people.
It is imperative, therefore, that adequate procession be made for the prompt receipt, classification, investigation and disposition of complaints. To this end, the University Police Department welcomes from the community constructive criticism and feedback regarding the Department and complaints involving its employees, policies or operations.
How to make a complaint
A complaint may be made at any time of the day or night to any police department employee. Complaints received will normally be referred to the Duty Supervisor. Depending on the circumstances, they will either investigate immediately or forward a report to the Chief of Police.
