Submitting a Citizen Complaint
The University Heights Police Department thoroughly investigates all complaints involving our officers and staff. Each complaint is documented and investigated before corrective action is taken. You may submit a complaint by mail, phone, or web form. While you may contact us anonymously, it is strongly recommended that you provide your contact information. This allows investigators to get additional information that could be crucial to the investigation.
Department policy prohibits retaliation against citizens for making a complaint. Involved officers will not contact you or retaliate in any way. If this occurs, please immediately contact the Chief of Police at (319) 887-6800.
“The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon public approval of police existence, actions, behavior and the ability of the police to secure and maintain public respect.”
