Internal Affairs is responsible for accepting complaints regarding allegations of misconduct or unlawful activity against employees. Internal Affairs reviews every citizen complaint. If the complaint is of conduct that would violate police procedures or laws, Internal Affairs will conduct the investigation. If a crime is alleged, the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office will be contacted as part of the investigation.

The Miami Police Department is interested in the welfare of all citizens, and in taking proper action when employees are proven negligent in their duties and/or are guilty of wrongdoing. Our citizens can be confident they will receive a fair and thorough investigation.

Officers, who perform their duties in an outstanding and professional manner, go unrecognized. In these instances, if you observe an act or service by a Miami Police officer and feel the action should be noted, please feel free to tell the department, the officer or their supervisor. You are also encouraged to send a letter to the Chief of Police expressing your feelings.

Internal Affairs is responsible for ensuring the timely response to public records requests, the coordination and serving of Civil Service subpoenas, the logging and tracking of disciplinary actions, and Response to Resistance reports.
