Complaints
We also value your feedback if Rockford Police Department employees have disappointed you. It is our policy to investigate all allegations of misconduct by employees to determine exactly what happened and to respond appropriately. If you have a complaint, we ask that you first address it to the employee’s supervisor, who may be able to resolve it for you. If you wish to sign a formal complaint, you may contact the Office of Professional Standards.
Illinois law (50 ILCS 725/3.8b) requires that anyone filing a formal complaint against a sworn police officer must support it with a sworn affidavit. We take complaints seriously and thoroughly investigate all reports. You can fill out a form online at www.rockfordil.gov or contact us by phone or e-mail.
