OFFICE OF THE
COMMUNITY OMBUDSMAN


About Us

On July 20, 1999, the Boise City Council officially established the Office of the Community Ombudsman.  This office was established to investigate complaints of misconduct against Boise City police and law enforcement officers. The ombudsman's office is independent from all other City departments and reports directly to the Mayor and City Council.  In addition to investigating misconduct, the Office of the Community Ombudsman seeks to ensure that police policies and practices reflect the needs of the community.
