Civil Rights Violation Complaint

Civil Rights Violation Complaints:
Police Misconduct:

The FBI is the primary federal agency responsible for investigating allegations regarding violations of federal civil rights statutes. The U.S. Attorney's Office (in coordination with the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice) enforces federal civil rights laws throughout the District of Kansas. These laws prohibit discrimination, protect the constitutional rights of residents, and affirm equal opportunity for all.

The U.S. Attorney's Office enforces civil rights through both civil litigation and criminal prosecution and, in all cases, represents the interests of the United States. The civil rights coordinators for civil rights and criminal civil rights can be reached through the complaint process described below.

The Department of Justice may review the practices of state and local law enforcement agencies for civil rights violations. If, during our review, we find that law enforcement agencies systematically deprive people of their rights, we can act. If you have a civil rights complaint regarding a state or local law enforcement agency, such as a police or sheriff's department, please fill out the Civil Rights Complaint form (PDF).
