Missin Peace holds police accountable with national misconduct database
Missin Peace is the only national police misconduct database that collects formal civilian complaints against law enforcement.

Missin Peace is on a mission to connect the dots when it comes to police misconduct.
For decades, many Americans have suffered various forms of brutality and injustice at the hands of “bad” law enforcement officers.
With the upsurge of cell phone cameras, citizens are finally able to document their interaction with police. The unfortunate murders of
Daunte Wright, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and many others have galvanized the masses to demand justice.
Police officers are intended to be public servants, but what happens when the officer is accused of misconduct?
Sometimes, a civilian puts in a complaint in a step towards holding the officer accountable. But only a small percent of complaints result in the officer being disciplined —partly because the accusations are hidden.
Records of misconduct are filed away and rarely seen outside of their department.
Investigators can’t take action against corrupt officers if they are missing the pieces of the puzzle regarding stories of misconduct.
That’s where Missin Peace comes in.
How Missin Peace works
Missin Peace is a national police misconduct database that collects formal civilian complaints against law enforcement.
Released in 2017, the registry offers two type of accounts.
One, it enables civilians to put the formal complaints they filed against the officer on record. Civilians are able to submit the official civilian complaint along with pictures, videos, and other accompanying documentation.
Two, the database also serves as a portal for investigative journalists, hiring managers, and civil rights attorneys to conduct research. For this type of account, users must contact Missin Peace to be granted access.
Currently, Missin Peace is the only national police misconduct database that allows citizens to follow and find any police officer’s history of complaints. The organization’s goal is to increase awareness on the database to be used as a tool for police accountability.
Check out Unheard Voices interview with Missin Peace founders:
For civilians who file their complaints on the database, personal information is stripped from the complaint, assuring complete anonymity.
The intent is to put on record police misconduct without fear of retaliation.
Traditionally, corrupt law enforcement officers have been allowed to transfer from one department to another and avoid the repercussions of their actions. To circumvent the recycling of corrupt cops, the American public and politicians finally understand the need for a centralized database of citizen complaints.
Missin Peace is here to fill in that void.
How to submit your complaint(s) in the database
If you have filed a complaint against a law enforcement officer, Missin Peace encourages you to put your complaint in the database to fill in the missing pieces. It doesn’t matter how old the complaint is, as long as it’s official.
