CITIZEN COMMENDATION & COMPLAINT FORM INFORMATION
Commendations
The Fridley Police Department is committed to maintaining integrity, discipline, and a relationship with the community
of trust and confidence. We welcome citizen recognition of police employees performing in an effective, quality
manner. Citizen commendations will be forwarded to both the commended employee and to their supervisor.
Written & Signed Complaints
If you believe an employee of the Fridley Police Department has behaved in an inappropriate manner, you are
encouraged to inform the Department. Please write down a detailed account of the incident as you remember it.
Include the location, date, time, telephone number and the names and addresses of other known witnesses. If
necessary, attach any additional sheets to this form. It’s also important that you include as much as you remember of
any conversation you or others had with the officer(s) or any actions taken by the officer(s). Describe in detail what you
feel the officer(s) or any police department employee did that was not proper. Before an investigation can begin, state
law requires that a signed, written complaint be completed; therefore, sign the form in the area marked
“Citizen Signature.”
It should be noted that anonymous complaints are difficult to investigate as we cannot receive additional information or
provide feedback to the complainant.
When you have completed the Complaint form, bring it to the police department, Monday through Friday,
8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or mail it to:
