The Brigham City Police Department is responsible for protecting the lives of those who live in or visit Brigham City. Annually, this department receives approximately 10,500 calls for service. Our officers are highly trained and serve this city with pride. Officers have a desire to assist you with those services this police department has to offer.

In many cases, officers serve as arbitrators where they are asked to help resolve differences between individuals. At times, the decisions they make are not popular with all parties involved.

We realize our involvement in complex and often emotionally charged situations may not always result in the level of performance or satisfaction expected. For this reason, the police department has a well‐defined procedure for assisting those who wish to voice their grievance against our operations, policies, or employee conduct.

We take your concerns seriously. All investigations are thorough, objective, and are aimed at maintaining public confidence and departmental integrity.

Individuals have the right to file a complaint against either the Brigham City Police Department or any individual member employed by the department. To file a formal complaint, it will be necessary for the complainant to fill out and sign this paperwork and be available for a personal interview. If the complainant does not want to file a formal complaint but would like to speak with a supervisor, they can either call or meet with them personally to discuss their issue.

The complaint form can be filled out online or can be printed and filled out by hand. Completed forms may either be delivered or mailed to:

Brigham City Police Department
ATTN: INTERNAL AFFAIRS
20 N. Main Street, Suite B
Brigham City, UT 84302

When a complaint is received by the police department, a thorough, accurate, and objective investigation will be conducted. Such investigations may include formal statements from all parties concerned, the gathering and preservation of physical evidence relative to the case, and all other information bearing on this matter. Upon completion of an investigation, a written report with all findings will be submitted to the Chief of Police for his final decision. The department will inform the complainant of the official disposition at the conclusion of the investigation.

The investigation within the police department of the conduct of its employees and the County Attorney’s prosecution of a criminal case are two entirely separate matters. If a person arrested by Brigham City police officers files a citizen complaint against those officers, such action will not affect the prosecutor’s independent decision to proceed with the criminal action.

In all cases, the individual making the complaint will be informed of its final disposition to the extent allowed by law. Although department investigators will exert every effort to determine the facts of each situation, in those cases where the complainant feels a proper investigation has not been conducted, the police department urges the complainant to seek further recourse through any of the outside agencies they feel inclined.
