Who receives your report?
Complaints
Complaints are received and then reviewed by the Internal Affairs Division (IAD). This unit will fully investigate any report of misconduct by a State Police employee. Anyone who files a complaint will be treated with respect.
Note that if your complaint involves an employee of another agency, you must contact that agency directly. The IAD will only review complaints about PSP employees.
Compliments
The employee’s station commander or bureau/office director will review the compliment and pass it along to the appropriate employee(s).
Pay a Compliment
If you’d like to, you can pay a compliment online. Or, if you know where the employee works, search the Bureau/Office Directory to find bureau and office contact information, the Troop Directory or go directly to PSP Stations for contact information.
