Police Complaints

Several methods are available to anyone wishing to file a complaint regarding the Oak Park Police Department or the conduct of its officers, including contacting the Community Relations Division of Community Services. Complaints also can be made to the Village President and Board of Trustees, the Village Manger's Office, the Police Chief directly, or a watch commander. In addition, complaints can be made to the Citizen's Police Oversight Commission (CPOC), a group of Oak Park residents who review the disposition of citizen complaints against individual officers. Complains can be sent to CPOC, Box 1654, Oak Park, IL 60303. The Police Department's Internal Affairs Officer is responsible for investigating complaints and recommends possible discipline if appropriate, with the Chief of Police making the final determination. CPOC then reviews the findings on a quarterly basis or when a complaint is brought regarding the final determination. Complaints may be filed from citizens or from within the department.
