Personnel Complaints Policy

The Hampshire Police Department is committed to providing the best possible law enforcement services available to all. We believe that good behavior, professionalism, ethics, and principles on the part of every member of the Hampshire Police Department are the very foundation of the Hampshire Police Department. However, there are times when the public may be concerned with the actions of a member. As a means of constantly striving to improve police performance and maintain the highest respect from the community, the Hampshire Police Department:

  • Seeks citizen input for improvement in our services.

  • Welcomes citizen commendations of our personnel who admirably perform their duties

  • Encourages questions and/or complaints regarding the agency's performance or the actions of its members whenever there is a concern.
