The Yankton Police Department prides itself on being a transparent and hospitable public safety organization. Our goal is to never have a complaint filed against an officer. However, there are a few options in which a citizen can file a complaint related to police misconduct.

1. Call the Police Department and ask to speak with a supervisor.
2. Come into the Yankton Police Department and ask to speak with a supervisor.  If the supervisor is the reason for the complaint, ask to speak with a Police Commander or the Chief of Police.
3. Download and fill out the Complaint Form. Email a signed copy to YPDComments@cityofyankton.org.  If the subject of the complaint is the Chief of Police, please email the signed copy to City Manager Amy Leon ALeon@cityofyankton.org.

NOTE: For an investigation to start, the complainant must sign the officer complaint form.
