Feedback

Positive or negative, we welcome the community’s feedback and view it as an opportunity to continuously improve.  Individuals wishing to provide feedback may do so utilizing either, or both, of the below avenues.  Please see the descriptions of each method as each serves a different purpose.

Accreditation Public Comment Portal – Feedback submitted through the portal goes directly to our accrediting body, CALEA, and is a means for the public to provide comments, commendations, and other information regarding our agency’s quality of service and/or other information relevant to the accreditation process.  Please understand CALEA is NOT an investigating body.  As such, if you wish your comments to be submitted for investigation, or into an officer’s personnel file, you should use MUPD’s formal Commendation/Complaint process.

Formal Commendation/Complaint Process – Feedback submitted through MUPD’s formal commendation/complaint form will be routed directly to MUPD for submission into the employee’s personnel file (commendations) or for further investigation by MUPD’s Internal Affairs Division (complaints). An explanation of the commendation/complaint process can be found on the commendation/complaint page.
