How to File a Complaint
If you wish to file a complaint about the actions of a police officer or about any aspect of police
operations, please:
- Come to the department and tell any employee that you want to file a complaint; or
- Call the department and tell the person answering the phone that you want to file a
complaint; or
- Write your complaint and mail it to the Chief of Police, 514 W. Quincy St., San Antonio, Texas 78212.
A supervisory officer will assist you in filling out a report of Complaint Against Police Personnel
form. This form asks you to identify yourself and then to give specific details about your
complaint.
Your complaint will then be investigated. You may be contacted and asked additional questions
about your complaint.
If it is going to take a long time to investigate your complaint, you will receive a letter telling you
approximately when you may expect a reply.
When your complaint has been investigated, the Chief of Police will review the investigation and
will write you a letter explaining what has been found out about the matter.
