The Socorro Police Department recognizes that it’s employees are responsible for their conduct where the public is concerned.  The department also acknowledges that, at certain times, conflicts between citizens and agency employees can arise.  It is essential to the safety of our community that the relationship between police and citizens be built on confidence and trust.  Law enforcement cannot be effective without this vital conviction by both entities.

 

 

Complaints regarding police are an everyday fact of life and every person has the right to voice a complaint if they feel they have been treated improperly or unfairly by police.   The complaint process allows the police department to monitor their activities and ensure that the public trust is maintained.  If you feel you have been treated unfairly, improperly, or the actions of the officer were improper, you are urged to file a complaint.  The links below are designed to assist you should you feel a complaint is necessary.
