24. It is the standard practice of the Bentonville Police Department to conduct comprehensive and thorough investigations into any allegation of misconduct or substandard service.

     Our procedure for receiving and investigating such allegations shall comply with all requirements of Arkansas law and in compliance with the Bentonville Police Department policies and procedures. Complaints will be accepted in person, over the telephone, online, or in writing. Anonymous complaints or complaints from individuals who wish their names to be held in confidence, will also be accepted for investigation.

     The notification of the complainant is an integral part of a complete investigation. However, it should be emphasized that only the final disposition will be released. State law does not permit the Police Department to release the contents of the citizen's complaint investigations since these matters are deemed to be confidential.
