FAQ

If I file a complaint with the Commissaire à la déontologie policière, will the person I'm complaining about see my complaint?

It depends on what stage your complaint is at.

At the preliminary analysis stage, the police officer or peace officer targeted by your complaint does not receive a copy of your complaint. In the decision letter taken at this stage, that person is informed of your identity and will receive certain information that will enable him to recognize which event or situation your complaint refers to.

Here is an example:

The Complainant, Mr. X, filed a complaint with the Commissioner regarding the conduct of Sergeant X of the X Police Service. pointing their gun. He adds that the police did not identify themselves.

If there is a conciliation meeting, they will read the full complaint a few minutes before the conciliation session during the preparatory meeting with the conciliator.

If there is an investigation, the police officer or peace officer targeted by your complaint will not see the complaint while it is in progress.

If the police officer or peace officer targeted by your complaint is cited before the Tribunal administratif de déontologie policière, they will receive a full copy of the complaint when the evidence is disclosed.
