Complaints

If you would like to file a complaint regarding an officer of the Port Arthur Police Department for any reason including, but not limited to, a citation, written warning, or verbal warning issued by a Port Arthur Police Officer, you may file a complaint three different ways:

1. By email by emailing to policecomplaints@portarthurtx.gov or completing the Complaint Form and submitting. You will be contacted in a timely manner regarding your complaint.
2. By postal mail addressed to Administration, PO Box 1089, Port Arthur TX  77641
3. By phone at 409-983-8614 or 409-983-8628.

State Law requires that formal complaints involving Police Officers be sworn under oath and notarized.  For that reason, Internal Affairs attempts to obtain a sworn statement from persons who make complaints against police personnel.
