How to File Complaints against the Virginia State Police

This police department's policy permits them to investigate complaints sent via email. They also accept complaints filed on non-department forms. That means OpenPolice.org can automatically file your report after you put it together.

OpenPolice.org is an independent project developed by Flex Your Rights, a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit.

The information below includes other ways to submit a formal complaint to the Virginia State Police.
