Misconduct Concerns
Calgary Police Service Conduct Concerns
On average, about 0.11 per cent of the calls for service we attend result in formal complaints. These concerns are raised by the public, partner agencies, other police officers, supervisors or our leadership.
The vast majority of these concerns are dealt with informally, typically by explaining police procedures, facilitating an informal conversation between involved parties, or by the officer’s supervisor addressing the issue. These informal resolutions allow citizens to learn why officers responded the way they did and provide officers with immediate correction if they have made a mistake.
Around 14 per cent of conduct concerns require a formal investigation and disciplinary process to properly be resolved.
