Complaints

The men and women of the JPSO work hard each day to protect you and your family, the local businesses, and the many visitors to our parish. We are striving to address any issue that arises in a professional and efficient manner. Should you have a complaint about one of our employees or officers, it would be handled by our Internal Management Division.

The Internal Management Division (i.e., "Internal Affairs") is responsible for receiving, processing, and investigating non-criminal complaints initiated by citizens against employees or officers of the JPSO. Criminal complaints are handled by the Criminal or Special Investigation Bureaus. To ensure the public's trust and maintain the integrity of this office, all complaints are handled timely and objectively.
