How to make a complaint
We know it's hard to make a
complaint but it means an independent person will hear your story.
If you're having trouble with
it, get help from a youth worker at your local youth centre or council,
or an adult you trust.
When you make a complaint about
a police officer, be sure to include as much information as possible:
- your name
- your phone number
- your address
- where you were when police
treated you badly
- what time it was
- the names or badge numbers
of the police involved or a description of what they look like
- the station that they were
from
- what happened
- names of any witnesses
- sign it and put the date
on it
If you don't have all the information,
just include what you do know. Even if you're not sure about some things,
call the NSW Ombudsman's Office to talk about it.
Make the complaint as soon
as possible after the incident.
