The Champaign County Sheriff’s Office strives to maintain high professional standards for our employees. We encourage both compliments and complaints about employee conduct. We are committed to fair and effective practices and we do not excuse any wrongful acts by any of our employees.

Personnel complaints include any allegation of misconduct or improper job performance that, if true, would constitute a violation of departmental policy or of federal, state or local law, policy or rule.

REQUIREMENTS:

Complaints must only be submitted by those with first-hand knowledge of an interaction and must be received by the Sheriff’s Office within 60 days of the date of interaction to help ensure preservation of any evidence related to the complaint. By submitting a complaint, you attest that the information you provide is accurate and factual.

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE SUBMITTING A WRITTEN COMPLAINT:

The first step to reporting your complaint should be requesting to speak with a Supervisor as soon as possible after the interaction. The Supervisor has the authority to handle minor complaints at the initial contact. If you are not satisfied after speaking with the Supervisor, or do not feel comfortable requesting to speak with a Supervisor, please complete this form to make a formal written complaint.

COMPLETING THIS COMPLAINT FORM:

Please provide as specific of information as possible to ensure a thorough investigation. Every complaint meeting the above requirements is fully investigated but may be limited based on the information you provide or the ability to contact you for additional information.
