If you work for the police and you’re complaining about someone who works for the same force you do, you’ll need to report that using the internal processes in place in your force.
If English isn't your first language, we can offer translation support to help you make your complaint.
If you have a disability or difficulty with written or verbal communication we can support you.
Tell us about your needs when you contact us about your complaint.
