HANDLING OF COMPLAINTS

The ZRP endeavours to ensure that, at all times, there is a smooth flow of communication between the organisation and its customers. Members of the public are encouraged to notify the police when they are dissatisfied with the service rendered to them in the manner outlined hereunder:-

  • Report any grievances to the Officer-In-Charge of the local police station;
  • If not satisfied, report to the Officer Commanding Police District, then to the Officer Commanding Police Province and ultimately to the Commissioner General of Police at Police General Headquarters if your concern is not adequately addressed.
  • As police handle reported cases, we undertake to give our clients feedback on progress of inquiries at regular intervals.
  • Upon the finalization of any reported case, we commit ourselves to providing feedback on the outcome to the complainant.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police will remain committed and ready to provide the most effective and efficient policing service to members of public anchored by our core values, mission and vision.
