How to complain about Clayton County Police Department
There are four routes, and they are not alternatives to one another. You can use more than one, and using one does not stop you using another.
1. The department itself. Almost every US department runs an internal affairs or professional standards unit. We do not publish a web address for this department because we could not verify one from a public record, and an unverified address on a complaints page is worse than none. Search for the department by its full name plus the words "internal affairs" or "file a complaint", and check the address ends in a .gov or official municipal domain before you send anything.
2. The state. Your state Attorney General handles civil rights matters at state level, and most states also run a police standards and training board with the power to decertify an officer. That is a separate process from a complaint to the department itself.
3. The federal government. The US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division takes complaints about police misconduct that may breach federal civil rights law, at civilrights.justice.gov. The FBI also receives civil rights complaints through its field offices and at tips.fbi.gov. Federal investigations are comparatively rare and are aimed at patterns of conduct as well as individual cases.
4. A civil claim. A claim under 42 U.S.C. §1983 is a lawsuit, not a complaint, and it runs on a strict time limit set by your state. Qualified immunity is a substantial obstacle in many of these cases. How the four routes work in full.
Time limits differ by state and by route, and some are short. If you think you may want to bring a claim as well as complain, take advice on the deadline early rather than after the complaint concludes.
