Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    PSP Compliment/Complaint Portal

    The Compliment/Complaint Portal allows users to contact the Internal Affairs Division (IAD) by online entry. Note that if your complaint involves another Commonwealth agenc​y, you must contact that agency directly. The Pennsylvania State Police IAD investigates alleged misconduct of Pennsylvania State Police personnel only.

    Submitting a complaint online

    If you are submitting a complaint:

    • Please provide a brief description of the events leading up to your initial contact with Pennsylvania State Police personnel
    • In describing the incident, thoroughly detail the events surrounding your complaint, including:
      • the date
      • day of week
      • time of day
    • List the names, addresses and telephone numbers of anyone who was present when the incident occurred
    • If your complaint includes verbal abuse or rudeness, include the specific term, phrase, or language you found offensive

    If an arrest action has taken place by the State Police, personnel complaints filed with this office will have no impact upon such cases. Issues regarding the validity of an arrest must be adjudicated before the appropriate judicial authority. In accordance with due process, you are entitled to request a hearing/appeal and present those issues before the judiciary identified on the citation/summons.

    NOTE: Once you have initiated your complaint, you will have 48 hours to complete and submit the entry, or it will be erased. If you want to retain a copy of your submission for your records, please print or save your submission form before clicking submit.

    Proceed to the Portal

     

    NOTE: Public Portal is occasionally taken offline for maintenance and upgrades. If you are unable to submit your complaint or compliment online, please use one of the alternate methods on the Complaint/Compliment Procedures page, or try again approximately 30 minutes later.
