• Complaints: DPS procedures regarding citizen complaints against law enforcement officers are governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 614, Subsection B, Sections 614.021, .022 and .023 requiring that all complaints be placed in writing and signed by the complainant. Maintaining public confidence demands that the department investigate and properly adjudicate complaints against its employees.

The complaint process is structured with several goals:

• Identification of employees unfit for employment
• Improving service by identifying and correcting sub-standard performance
• Assessing department policy and procedures
• Protecting employees against false allegations.

The DFW International Airport Police Department accepts all complaints alleging an act or acts which, if proven true, would be a violation of departmental regulations, procedures, rules or a violation of any applicable state law or court decisions. Any person who is the affected party and believes the law or department policy has been violated may file a complaint. Allegations may be submitted in person, by mail, by phone or e-mail. The Department cannot consider your complaint or take action based on your complaint unless it is submitted as required by law. Complaints will be forwarded to Professional Standards for review and assigned for follow up.

• Allegations of employment misconduct and personnel complaints are generally not accepted after ninety (90) days following the alleged incident unless special circumstances exist. The DFW Airport Police Service takes all complaints seriously and fully investigates each complaint received. Filing a false complaint against a law enforcement officer is a violation of the Texas Penal Code, Section 37.02. If a person knowingly and intentionally makes a false statement previously made under oath, a person may be found guilty and punished by a fine up to $4,000, confinement in jail up to one year, or by both fine and imprisonment.

Possible results of an investigation are:

• Unfounded: The investigation determined the allegation is false or not factual.
• Exonerated: The investigation revealed the incident occurred, but the employee’s actions were justified, lawful, and proper.
• Sustained: The investigation disclosed a preponderance of evidence in support of an allegation or policy violation. If the investigation finds that the allegations against a police officer are sustained, the Chief of Police may assess disciplinary action ranging from counseling to termination, depending on the seriousness of the infraction.
