Submissions to the Committee are compiled and submitted to Committee members on a monthly basis for review and discussion at the next scheduled Committee meeting. Typically, citizen submissions will not receive a direct response from the Committee, except as warranted by extreme or exigent circumstances.

Police Department Feedback
