How do I file a complaint?

A person wishing to file a complaint should contact any Dalton Police officer. The officer or the citizen will complete a Dalton Police Department Complaint Form. The form may be filled out immediately, or you may take the complaint form with you and return it at a later time by mail, in person, or give the completed form to any employee of the Dalton Police Department.

You will be notified by the Professional Standards Unit when the matter is under investigation. The complaint will be assigned to a supervisor for investigation. You will be given the name of the officer assigned to conduct the investigation, their contact phone number, and the case number related to the complaint investigation. You may be required to supply additional information. Once concluded, you will be notified by mail as to the disposition of your complaint.
