Making a Complaint Against Enfield Police Employees

A complaint can be made in person, by letter, email, facsimile, or telephone. A complaint against an officer can also be made by contacting any on-duty supervisor. Print or Download our Civilian Complaint Form or Spanish Complaint Form.  

Please submit the complaint form to an on-duty supervisor, or you may mail or fax if you prefer.  While we would ask that you provide your contact information so that we can contact you for specific details, which would assist us in investigating your complaint, anonymous complaints are accepted and will be investigated as well.
 
It has been our experience that many complaints involve a misunderstanding of police policy or procedure and are often resolved by speaking with supervisory personnel. While we encourage you to try this avenue, we understand that some complaints do require a full inquiry. During this process, you will be kept informed of the progress of the inquiry and may be asked for additional information; you will also be advised when the investigation is completed.

Commending Exceptional Performance

The best way to commend the actions of a Police Department employee is to write a brief letter or email (Police Administration) to the department describing the incident and the actions you think were exceptional. Information such as the date, time, and location will help identify the employee if you do not know his or her name. If you choose not to write, you may ask to speak with the employee's supervisor and make a verbal commendation by calling 860-763-8912.

 Although our employees do not expect to be thanked for everything they do, recognition of exceptional service is always appreciated. This kind of feedback helps us to know if we are doing a good job.
