This service is for anyone who has had or witnessed an interaction with the Austin Police Department (APD) and wants to provide feedback. It is administered by the Office of Police Oversight (OPO), which is impartial and separate from the APD. File a complaint about the Austin Police Department online, over the phone, in person, or by mail. You do not have to provide your contact information.
