The citizens of Marion County rightfully expect their Sheriff’s Office and its law enforcement and detention administration to be fair and just in the delivery of service to all citizens. As part of meeting these expectations, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office has established a standardized procedure for receiving, documenting, and resolving citizen complaints. This includes allegations of misconduct or poor performance by Sheriff’s Office employees.
Although citizen complaints are frequently based upon misunderstandings of the law or established law enforcement procedures, they nevertheless need to be addressed in a prompt and professional manner. The Office of Professional Standards (OPS) will document complaints received that are not immediately resolved by the receiving employee. The OPS will document and track all formal complaints received and will investigate those complaints that are not resolved by the affected employee’s supervisor(s). In addition, OPS will be assigned allegations of serious misconduct and/or criminal law violations by Sheriff’s Office staff, as directed by the Sheriff.
