HOW TO REPORT AND RESOLVE A PROBLEM WITH A UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICER
Most interactions between University Police Officers and members of the campus community
are amicable, and much of our work involves educational initiatives. Our commitment
to law enforcement is based on respect for individual rights. At times the work of
any police agency is inherently dangerous and often confrontational. An officer’s
intervention often involves extremely difficult circumstances in which confrontations
and miscommunication between members of the campus community and the police may arise.
The University Police urge resolution of complaints through informal means whenever
appropriate however, if you believe you were treated unfairly or unprofessionally
by any University Police personnel and want to lodge a formal complaint, you are encouraged
to seek assistance through the process outlined below:
1. Complete the attached formal Compliment, Complaint, Suggestion Form. Be sure to
sign and date the form.
2. Send or bring one copy of the completed forms to:
Chief of University Police
Couper Administration Building
Room G24D
Phone 777-2275
3. You may, but are not required to, send or bring one copy of the completed forms
to:
University Ombudsman
Library South
Room G526
Phone 777-2388
New York State Law and applicable collective bargaining agreements forbid disclosure
of personnel related information regarding sworn police officers; therefore, the University
may neither confirm, nor deny, whether and personnel action has been taken related
to your complaint.
