File a Complaint Against a Murphy Police Employee
The Murphy Police Department understands the importance of protecting the community from employees who have demonstrated acts of misconduct or have shown they are unfit for law enforcement work, the need to protect employees from false allegations of misconduct, and the opportunity to periodically assess the effectiveness of our policies and procedures. These objectives can only be accomplished through a consistently thorough and objective investigative process.
The Office of the Chief of Police is responsible for administering the complaint process. Should you hold the impression an employee has been involved in misconduct or are dissatisfied with our service you may register a complaint by:
Contacting the Administrative Sergeant during regular business hours at 972-468-4227
Contacting an on-duty Supervisor at 972-468-4200 after regular business hours
Completing a “Complaint Processing Form” and submit it to:

Texas law requires that all complaints against police officers be in writing and signed by the person making the complaint. The person who was wronged must file the complaint; other persons may give statements as witnesses.
False Complaints
Filing a false complaint against a police employee is a violation of the Texas Penal Code, Section 37.02. If a person knowingly and intentionally makes a false statement under oath or swears to the truth of a false statement previously made under oath, a person may be found guilty and punished by a fine up to $4,000, confinement in jail up to one year, or by both fine and imprisonment.
These forms are provided for your convenience. However, you must print, sign, and mail this form to the department; they will not be electronically submitted. Send forms to:
