Citizen Complaints The FAMU Department of Public Safety (DPS) is committed to providing professional services to all members of the university community. While police employees must be free to exercise their authority in taking necessary and reasonable action in the performance of their duties, students, faculty, staff and visitors must be confident of police integrity and fair treatment. The FAMU DPS has adopted procedures to ensure fair and proper action is taken when an employee is accused of misconduct. Likewise, these procedures protect employees from unwarranted or false accusations. They also provide a means of identifying and correcting deficiencies in policy and procedure. Any citizen, university employee or student may file a complaint either in person at the station, via mail, by telephone, by e-mailing any named supervisor. Complaints may be made at anytime at DPS Headquarters located at 2400 Wahnish Way #128, Tallahassee, Florida 32307, phone (850) 599- 3256. Every complaint of misconduct will be investigated. Complainants will receive a letter from the Chief of Police acknowledging receipt of the complaint and subsequently notification of results from the investigation. An investigator will be assigned, who will submit a report of findings to the Chief of Police. Disciplinary or administrative actions will be initiated when appropriate.
