What Constitutes a Formal Complaint?
The Internal Affairs Office, a section of the Division’s Professional Standards Unit, processes all allegations of misconduct involving Henrico Police officers and employees.

All allegations of unnecessary or excessive force and racial bias will be investigated.

Is Filing a Complaint Safe?
We aim to make our complaint process safe for all parties. You will be treated fair and impartially. You will not be asked about your immigration status. You will not need to speak with the employee you are filing a complaint against.

Can I File a Complaint Anonymously?
You may file a complaint anonymously, however, it is helpful if you provide at least a phone number or email address so an investigator can follow up should they need additional information critical to the investigation. Also, if no contact information is provided, Henrico Police may be unable to provide you information regarding the outcome of the investigation.

What happens after I file a complaint?
Henrico Police investigates all formal complaints against Division personnel. A police supervisor or investigator from the Office of Internal Affairs may reach out to discuss the incident in further detail and obtain information crucial to the case.
