How do I file a complaint about a Greeley officer?
You can make a complaint at the Police Department or by calling the department. If you contact the Police Department in person or by telephone, ask to speak with a police supervisor to make a complaint against an officer.
Greeley Police lists its front desk phone number as 970-350-9605. The Greeley Police Department is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Before and after those hours, call Weld County Dispatch at 970-350-9600, a non-emergency number.
Once a complaint is registered, the police supervisor discusses what happened with you. If you want a formal complaint after speaking with the supervisor, the supervisor will help put it in writing.
If a supervisor refuses to take a complaint, Greeley Police encourages you to notify the Office of the Chief of Police or the Internal Investigation Section.

What if my concern is about a Greeley police policy or procedure?
A discussion with the supervisor may show that your concern involves departmentally approved policies or procedures rather than an individual officer’s conduct. If the concern cannot be explained to your satisfaction, it will be directed to the Police Department section responsible for that area.
What happens after Greeley Police receives a complaint?
Greeley Police handles written complaints in the same manner as complaints made in person. A formal personnel complaint is ultimately referred to the Internal Investigations Section, which coordinates investigations into allegations of officer misconduct. Internal Investigations will make contact once it receives a complaint.
Whenever possible, an investigator will speak at length with you as part of the investigation. An investigator will also speak with all other witnesses and involved parties and complete an investigation report.
Greeley Police says investigations can be very time-consuming and involved.
How will I find out the result of a complaint?
Complaints about matters other than officer misconduct are referred to the departmental unit with jurisdiction. You are notified of the results in writing.
After an investigation is completed, thoroughly reviewed and followed by appropriate action, you are notified of the results in writing.
