What happens when a complaint is upheld?

When an investigation finds that the charges against a police employee are true, the Police Chief notifies the employee and may take one of the predetermined actions:

  • Reprimand the employee verbally or in writing
  • Suspend the employee without pay
  • Demote the employee
  • Discharge the employee

Employees can appeal the Department's decision to uphold a complaint and the decision to discipline an employee.
