Any complaints regarding corruption or misconduct must be forwarded directly to Internal Affairs who will deal with the matter privately.

Internal Affairs can be contacted in-game or on Teamspeak in the "Waiting for Internal Affairs" channel under the SCSO header.

If you wish to report a member of the SCSO, evidence within roleplay requires both a go-pro and wire item. However, Internal Affairs will still review statements given to them by members of the public or the SCSO.
