How do I report police misconduct?

You are asked to call the Officer in Charge through the Police Department main phone number, 617-972-6500. To ensure that all pertinent information is documented, a complaint form is filled out to document the incident and start the investigation process. The form is available at the Police window in the lobby. The form may also be downloaded (PDF) if you wish to fill it out in advance.


Issues of a serious criminal nature may be reported directly to the Chief of Police by phone at 617-972-6537.
