The public and the police service have the right to expect the highest standards of conduct and professionalism from all staff within South Yorkshire Police

This is where our department comes in by taking action on a daily basis to maintain and increase the standards to which the Force operates.

All of our work is captured under two sections

Complaints and Discipline

If you want to make a complaint about South Yorkshire Police or a specific individual working for the Force then visit the Complaints Process page.  Here you will be guided through the process for making a complaint from where to direct your initial issue to information about your right of appeal at the end of proceedings.

Standards and Security

The department has a number of specialist units that work to maintain the Force's high standards and ensure that working practices, particularly those where South Yorkshire Police interacts with the public, are ethical and meet the needs and expectations of the people we serve.  Please visit the Specialist Units page for more details.
