Complaint Against Employee

You have the right to file an allegation regarding any conduct by a member of the Foothill-De Anza Police Department. You are entitled to a copy of your statement at the time you file the allegation.

After the complaint investigation is completed, the Department may take some form of personnel action against the accused officer if it determines that misconduct occurred or it may find that there is insufficient evidence to warrant personnel action against the officer. A written notice of the disposition of the allegation will be provided within 30 days of the Department’s finding.

Personnel complaints will be retained for at least five years. Policy complaints are not considered to be personnel complaints. Non-Misconduct Concerns are not considered to be complaints. The Foothill-De Anza Police Department has a strict policy prohibiting the retaliation against complainants and/or witnesses.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AGAINST A POLICE OFFICERFOR ANY IMPROPER POLICE CONDUCT. CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES THIS AGENCY TO HAVE A PROCEDURE TO INVESTIGATE CIVILIANS’ COMPLAINTS. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROCEDURE. THIS AGENCY MAY FIND AFTER INVESTIGATION THAT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO WARRANT ACTION ON YOUR COMPLAINT; EVEN IF THAT IS THE CASE, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE THE COMPLAINT AND HAVE IT INVESTIGATED IF YOU BELIEVE AN OFFICER BEHAVED IMPROPERLY. CIVILIAN COMPLAINTS AND ANY REPORTS OR FINDINGS RELATING TO COMPLAINTS MUST BE RETAINED BY THIS AGENCY FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.

IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT THAT YOU KNOW TO BE FALSE. IF YOU MAKE A COMPLAINT AGAINST AN OFFICER KNOWING THAT IT IS FALSE, YOU CAN BE PROSECUTED ON A MISDEMEANOR CHARGE PER CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE 148.6(a)(1).

I have read and understood the above statement.
