File a Report

Thank you for contacting the Police Accountability Board. 

Due to a court decision involving a challenge to the PAB’s investigative authority, your complaint cannot be investigated for individualized officer misconduct. The details of your statement(s)  will be referred to the PAB’s Policy & Oversight division for further evaluation. This division is responsible for reviewing and assessing RPD policies, procedures, patterns and practices. When reporting, you may choose to remain anonymous.

You should also know that submitting this report is not the same as filing a Notice of Claim, which is required for filing a lawsuit against The City of Rochester for money damages. For more information about filing a Notice of Claim, please call The City of Rochester Law Department at (585) 428-6949 or visit City of Rochester | Law Department.
