How to File an Official Complaint against a Member of the Department
The Valparaiso Police Department has a departmental procedure for receiving official complaints against members of the department including officers. An individual requesting to file an official complaint against a member of the Valparaiso Police Department is encouraged to file the complaint in person at the Valparaiso Police Department.
The individual is encouraged to come to the police department located at 355 S. Washington St and inform any department employee they wish to file an official complaint against an employee.
