Complaint Form
Filing a Complaint & the Investigation Process Anyone who is directly involved in or who witnesses an incident may file a complaint. They do not have to be a legal resident or citizen of the United States to file a complaint. In the case of a juvenile, it is the Claremont Police Department's policy to notify the parent(s) or guardian of the juvenile whenever a complaint is received. To ensure a complete investigation, the Complaint Form must include as much information as possible to support the complaint. All complaints against Department employees are confidential. The Claremont Police Department takes all complaints seriously. When the Department receives a complaint, it is referred to the Chief of Police. The Chief assigns the complaint to the appropriate investigator for investigation, and sends a letter to the complainant to confirm that their complaint has been received and assigned for investigation.
