It is
essential that the community have confidence in the administrative
procedures of the Police Department that are designed to
supervise and control exercise of police power. If
the integrity and efficiency of the Department is to be
maintained, allegations of misconduct against members of
the Department and complaints of inadequate service must
be thoroughly and expeditiously investigated.
The administration
recognizes that Department members are often subjected to
intense pressures in the discharge of their duties.
Officers are frequently required to remain neutral under
circumstances that are likely to generate considerable tension,
excitement, and emotion. In such situations, words,
actions, and events occasionally result in misunderstanding
and confusion. It is to the advantage of each Department
member, and the community that there are sound internal
procedures for the thorough and impartial investigation
of allegations arising out of such circumstances.
The expeditious
resolution of complaints in a fair and impartial manner
will ensure that the present high level of integrity and
efficiency enjoyed by the Department is maintained.
It shall
be the policy of the Houlton Police Department to investigate
citizen complaints. The Department will continue to
investigate all valid complaints, in a timely manner, to
their logical conclusion.
The Houlton
Police Department is committed to providing the best law
enforcement service possible. Citizen cooperation
and participation are essential if the Department is to
succeed in this goal. If you have questions about
any specific action taken by the Houlton Police Department,
how the Department operates, or have a recommendation on
how we can improve our law enforcement services, please
call the Houlton Police Department at 207-532-2287.
