Professional Compliance Unit

About

The Professional Compliance Unit is responsible for accepting complaints regarding allegations of misconduct or unlawful activity against departmental employees. The Professional Compliance Unit's Commander reviews every citizen complaint. If the complaint is of conduct that would violate police procedures or laws, the Professional Compliance Unit will conduct the investigation. Minor complaints are forwarded to the employee’s Division for investigation; however, the Professional Compliance Unit will monitor all investigations. If a crime is alleged, the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office will be contacted as part of the investigation.
