It is the policy of the Naperville Police Department (NPD) to investigate all allegations of employee misconduct. The Internal Affairs Unit is responsible for the investigation of complaints made against the department or its employees. This unit also processes all commendations and awards received or given by the department. The Internal Affairs Unit activity has increased commensurate to the growth of the city’s population and the number of police department personnel. During 2011, the number of commendations received by the department continued to far exceed the number of complaints received.
The Internal Affairs Unit recorded 156 commendations involving a total of 449 separate employees. For sworn employees, 417 positive contacts were received. Civilian employees received a total of 30 commendations.
During 2011, the Internal Affairs Unit recorded one citizen complaint. The unit also processed 23 crashes involving police vehicles. The one complaint was determined to be unfounded. Of the 23 crashes, 11 were attributed to preventable traffic crashes.
To compliment a Naperville police employee, or to register a complaint or concern, please contact the Internal Affairs Unit at (630) 420-4137.
