The Royal Bahamas Police Force treats all complaints very seriously. Any citizen can file a complaint by letter, by telephone, email or in person to any police officer at any of the local stations or where ever the officer may be whilst on duty.

All complaints should include your name, address and contact details. It is important that you give the police your exact address and direction to where you live and all the relevant telephone numbers that you may be contacted at.

For more efficient results, ensure that your complaints cover all the necessary information such as what happened, when it happened, who was involved, what was said or done, whether there were any witnesses other than yourself, where the witnesses can be contacted, if known, description of any stolen property, vehicle information and details of any damage or injury which took place.

Complaints against Police Officers

Complaints made against police officers can be made at any local police station, here online or at the Complaints and Corruption Unit at Police Headquarters East Street North.

Making False Complaints

Making a false complaint is a serious offence and will lead to prosecution. Persons making complaint are always interviewed before such complaints are recorded and later investigated. If it is determined at the completion of the investigation that the complaint was false, the complainant will be arrested and prosecuted for the same.
