Responsibilities, Review and Comments

Your responsabilities

Your cooperation is essential for us to meet our commitments. Therefore, when filing a police ethics complaint, we rely on you to :

• Provide us with complete, accurate and up-to-date information;
• Send us the requested information and documents within the required time frame;
• Inform us, as soon as possible, of any change that may affect your request or your file, such as a change of address or telephone number;
• Participate in the various stages of processing your complaint if necessary.

Request for review

• When your complaint is dismissed as a result of a preliminary analysis, lack of cooperation from you during conciliation, or failure of conciliation or investigation, you may have that decision reviewed by submitting new facts or evidence within 15 days of being notified of the decision. To do so, you must complete an online request for review form.
• When a complaint is dismissed after investigation, an application for remission may be made to the Tribunal administratif de déontologie policière within 30 days of notification of the Commissioner's decision. In this case, you must make the request by completing the form and submitting it to the office of the Tribunal administratif de déontologie policière. To do this, here is the link to fill out the form.

Comments, suggestions or dissatisfaction with services

If you are dissatisfied with a service provided to you by the Commissaire à la déontologie, we invite you to let us know. We will deal with your request carefully, fairly and promptly.

You may send your comments, suggestions or dissatisfaction by email to deontologie-policiere.quebec@comdp.gouv.qc.ca.

Upon receipt, a representative of our organization will contact you within a maximum of 3 working days.
