Officer Complaints
It is the policy of the Elkins Police Department to investigate all allegations and complaints of misconduct against any member of the department.
To make a complaint against a Elkins Police Department employee, notification should be made to the Chief of Police. Although a complaint can be made in any format, the preferred method of making complaints shall be in person and in writing. The fact that the complaint is not made in writing, or the person making the complaint chooses to remain anonymous may affect the status of any action taken on the complaint.
**Officer's are forbidden from retaliating against any person reporting misconduct to the Chief of Police**
The Chief of Police will be responsible for investigation of any violation of Police Department Policy or Procedure. The Chief of Police will consult with the Arkansas State Police anytime an allegation of criminal conduct occurs.
Notifications will be made to the reporting party informing them of the results of the departmental investigation. If the complaint did not give an address or phone number, notification can not be made.
