Open Policing

The Tiburon Police Department is committed to building trusting relationships with all of those we proudly serve. To this end, we have partnered with Open Policing, an organization that empowers community members to provide anonymous and timely feedback about their interactions with their local police department. The Open Policing application has safeguards to prevent fraudulent and abusive feedback that also allows for anonymity of those who provide feedback. 

The feedback categories are based on academic research that incorporates four tenants of procedural justice - respect, voice, fairness, and trust. The data will be used to assist us in measuring levels of community trust related to the delivery of police services in Tiburon. We proactively seek input by providing people with whom we engage in the course of our duties a contact card that provides direct access information to our Open Policing input portal. To encourage authentic feedback, the platform allows for those providing feedback to remain anonymous. Names and/or specific identifying information, including that of the involved officers, will be redacted from any publicly displayed feedback. Those wishing to commend a particular Tiburon Police staff member or file a complaint are asked to use our personnel complaints and commendations portal. 

We encourage you to visit our Open Policing webpage to review feedback about our interactions with those we serve.
