Civilian Police Oversight Agency

The CPOA is an independent agency of the City of Albuquerque, distinct from City government, City Council, and the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) and is charged with fairly and impartially reviewing and investigating complaints and commendations from community members concerning APD personnel. The CPOA consists of an Administrative Office, led by the Executive Director, and the Civilian Police Oversight Advisory Board (CPOAB).

The Civilian Police Oversight Agency (CPOA) has moved to a new location. Our new office is located at:

501 Tijeras Avenue NW, Suite 2E, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87102

At this time, we are unable to accept in-person complaints as we continue to transition and settle into our new space. To file a complaint, please use our online complaint portal, call our office, or send your complaint by mail. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you from our new location.
