The Kempner Police Department is committed to maintaining transparency, accountability, and professionalism in all interactions with the community. The complaint process ensures that all concerns are addressed fairly, thoroughly, and with the highest level of integrity.

The complaint process is designed to handle each case factually and impartially. Citizens who file complaints will be treated with respect, and all allegations will be taken seriously. Every complaint is investigated thoroughly, with findings based on impartial evidence obtained during the investigation.

In many cases, concerns can be resolved through direct communication with the Chief of Police. The Chief will discuss the complaint with you and attempt to reach a resolution. 

Formal complaints alleging misconduct that is not criminal in nature must be submitted within 45 days of the incident. Exceptions may be granted at the sole discretion of the Chief of Police if a complainant can demonstrate good cause for a delay. Complaints involving criminal misconduct will be accepted within the statute of limitations outlined in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

When possible, formal allegations should:
✔️ Be submitted in writing
✔️ Be signed by the complainant
✔️ Be notarized

A notarized department form will be attached to the complaint, referencing:

• Texas Penal Code Section 37.08 – False Report to a Peace Officer or Law Enforcement Employee
• Texas Government Code Sections 614.021–.023 – Complaint Procedures Against Law Enforcement Officers or Firefighters

Anonymous complaints, whether verbal or written, will be accepted. However, they will only be investigated at the Chief’s discretion, unless they involve a felony or a Class A or B misdemeanor.

Once the investigation is complete, all formal complaints will receive a written response detailing the findings.

For any questions regarding the complaint process, please contact the Isenhour/Clark Municipal Building 512-932-2180
