The Palm Bay Police Internal Affairs Unit, under direct authority of the Chief of Police, investigates all complaints of misconduct by department personnel. All complaints will be reviewed by the Internal Affairs Unit to determine the correct investigatory process. The integrity of the Agency depends upon the personal and professional  ethics and discipline of each employee. An impartial and thorough investigation will be conducted on all complaints, including anonymous, against the Agency or its employees.

The complaint process begins by submitting allegations to the Internal Affairs Unit.  This may be done by submitting a complaint via email, phone, mail, or by coming into the police department in person. Upon completion of the investigation, the complainant will be notified (with the exception of anonymous complaints).
