Understanding the Complaints Process
Finding the right support
Complaints about civilian police
The Service Police Complaints Commissioner can only handle complaints about Service (Military) Police.
If your complaint is about the civilian police in England and Wales, contact the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
If your complaint is against the civilian police in Scotland, contact the Police Investigations & Reviews Commissioner (PIRC).
If your complaint is against the civilian police in Northern Ireland, contact the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI).
Complaints about experiences during service with the Armed Forces
The Armed Forces Commissioner (AFC) handles grievances for members of the UK Armed Forces. If your complaint is not Service Police related, the AFC may be able to help.
