The Mariemont Police Department is committed to providing the highest quality of police service to the community. In order to be responsive to community needs, it is necessary to have citizen input. Complaints or suggestions received by the Chief of Police will be screened to determine if it is a complaint against an employee (violation of rules and regulations) or a recommendation for improvement of the department at large (process improvement). Verbal or anonymous complaints are also investigated but are more difficult to process. All complaints against the Mariemont Police Department, or any of it's employees, shall be completely investigated within sixty days from the date of the filing of the complaint. All complaints must be submitted in person to the Mariemont Police Department.
