- When someone feels they have experienced police misconduct by an RPD officer, they can file a complaint with the PAB and the RPD’s Professional Standards Section. But if someone wants restitution or compensation for the damages they suffered because of the misconduct, they must file a civil claim against the Rochester Police Department.
- In this proposal for change, the PAB analyzed the amount of money paid by the City of Rochester for claims against the RPD. The PAB recommended changes to the procedures for collecting and using information about civil claims against RPD officers. For example, the PAB recommended that the RPD include information about civil claims in their early intervention system, which identifies officers who might be at risk of committing misconduct.
