A citizen has a right to initiate a complaint with the Grambling University Police
at Grambling regarding the actions or behavior of any member of department’s staff.
A citizen will be directed to the on-duty supervisor. If there is not a supervisor
on duty, the complainant will be informed when the next supervisor will be on duty
and can arrange for a meeting. The on-duty supervisor will conduct a preliminary
interview to determine the nature of the complaint and the identity of the department
member involved. If warranted or requested, the complainant will be provided with
the Department Complaint form and assisted in the completion of the form. The citizen
can be accompanied by another person if they choose, but must sign a release indicating
that they are allowing the department member to share information and documentation
about this incident.
The supervisor will fully and courteously answer any questions regarding the department’s
complaint and internal investigations procedure. There are several routes to take
with a complaint; each can be described along with their limitations.
Complaints can be initiated by other means not only a citizen complaint. Avenues
for the complaint will vary from a simple Inquiry of Policy or Law, to Mediation,
to a formal internal affairs investigation. Reports could further result in Remedial
Training, Policy Review, Counseling, or Formal Disciplinary Action in accordance with
the member’s union contract.
