| The policy of the Winterville Police Department is to investigate all complaints against department employees and allegations of misconduct within the Department in order to preserve public confidence, maintain professional conduct, and ensure the overall integrity of the Department. During normal hours, 8:30am-5pm, Monday thru Friday, citizens should call the Winterville Police Department Internal Affairs Office at 252-756-1105. Any calls after business hours should be directed to the Shift Supervisor at the same number. If you want to send your complaint to the police by email, please click on the Citizens Complaint Form button at the bottom of this page. Upon receipt of a citizen's complaint, the Internal Affairs division will contact the complainant and advise them the matter is under investigation. The complaintant will also be advised of departmental procedures for the processing and investigation of the complaint. When the investigation is completed the appropriate action will be taken. The complaintant will be notified in writing, if desired, when the investigation has been completed. Because the investigation of citizen complaints involves legal processes, all parties are required to be truthful in any written or oral statements that are made. |
