The Tempe Police Department’s Professional Standards Unit (PSU)—commonly referred to as Internal Affairs—reports directly to the Office of the Chief of Police. PSU is responsible for conducting fair and impartial investigations into allegations of employee misconduct, whether complaints are received internally or from the public.

It is the Department’s policy to thoroughly and transparently investigate all complaints in order to preserve community trust and confidence. In addition to misconduct investigations, PSU also conducts administrative reviews, including reviews of officer-involved shootings.

If you have concerns or wish to file a complaint, we encourage you to contact the PSU so that your issue can be addressed promptly and appropriately.
