As w'eli as fosterinig public trust, an effective complaint system encourages co-operation between citizens and police. A complaint systemi is also a valuable management tool. Through an effective coin- plaint system, police can identify areas in which moré training or direction is necessary. In addition, it can help identify and correct unclear or inappropriate police procedures. The office of the Public Complaints Commissioner provides civil investigation, monitoring and review of police complaints. It is a three-year pilot projeet for the Metropolitan Toronto area designed to improve relations between the police force and the community. The office was set up to en- sure that complaints against the police are deait with fairly and openly. The second annuai report of the Public Complaints Commiissioner indicates that more people are using the of- fice. 24.8 per cent of ail com- plaints last year were lodged directly with Commissioner Linden's office. This is an increase of 5 per cent over the previous year. The figures for the first quarter of 1984 confirm this upward trend: 40 per cent of complaints have been filed with the PCC. During the 1983, 758 com- plaints were received by the P'ublic Complaints Commis- sioner. The total caseload for that year was 1.039 and, of these, 757 were closed. The closed cases contained 1,507 allegations or an average of 2 per for each case. Anaylsis of the closedi cases shows that the two most com- mon types of allegation ar,,e Assault and Verbal Abuse or Incivility. The three most common factors precipitating compiaint incidents are criminal investigation, traffic or parking violations, and ar- rests. The number of compiaints who requested a r eview of their case by the Public Com- plaints Commissioner is also up from the previous year. During the year, there were 74 such requests compared to 45 the year before. This in- crease is an indication of a greater awareness of the new system and a willingness to use it. 69 review were closed within the year. The office of -the Public Complaints Commissioner was established as a pilot pro- ject to work out problems and to improve upon and refine the system of public complaints on an ongoing basis. The project hias been highly successful to date: it is a step forward to a public complaints system that is fair, equitable and trusted by, both the cormmnty and the police force.
