PERSONNEL COMPLAINT INFORMATION
About us
The Logan City Police Department is responsible for protecting the lives of those who live in or
visit the City of Logan. Annually, this department receives more than 22,000 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 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.

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.

ment
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 Logan 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 the 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. Below is a list of
agencies which could be contacted:

Cache County Attorney’s Office
199 North Main St.
Logan, Utah, 84321
Telephone: (435) 755-1860

Office of the Utah Attorney General
Utah State Capital Complex
350 North State Street, Suite 230


