Complaints about a police officer
The administration of public complaints is overseen by the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency (LECA), an arms-length civilian agency of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. The LECA is responsible for receiving, overseeing, monitoring and dealing with all public complaints about the conduct of police officers in Ontario.
Complaints can also be made in person at any police station in Ontario. At the station, the public complaint process will be explained. Additional local resolutions, which are part of the LECA process, may also be offered at that time.
