What can you do if you are unhappy about how you were treated?

The officer should treat you fairly and with respect.  If you are unhappy with how you were treated, you can complain.  If you feel you were treated differently because of your ethnic background, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or a disability, you can complain.  It will help if you keep the receipt the police gave you.  You can get advice about how to make a complaint from:

• a police station;
• your local police authority;
• a Citizen's Advice Bureau;
• the Independent Police Complaints Commission;
• the Equality and Human Rights Commission; or
• a solicitor.
