Civilian Complaints
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is primarily a litigating office and not an investigative office. Almost all the complaints we receive request we investigate some allegation. We either refer those complaints to one of the investigating agencies or we return the complaint with instructions to go to one of those agencies. A list of those agencies, with appropriate links, appears below. Your complaint will be more efficiently processed if you go directly to the most appropriate agency listed below.

There may be limited instances where you believe none of above agencies is the appropriate place to lodge your complaint. If that is the case and you believe the U.S. Attorney's Office should be made aware directly, please contact either the Criminal or Civil Divisions, the Civil Rights Unit, or the White Plains Office by using the appropriate link below. If the incident has to do with suspected civil rights violations, use that link specifically.
