Civilian Complaint Board Oversight-Excessive Force Investigations

Since 2005, Integrated Security Services has 
specialized in Civilian Complaint Board Oversight 
and Excessive Force Investigations.

Working in close partnership with local government officials and the community, we meticulously review, and revisit allegations lodged against police officers and their agencies.

Our investigations address claims of excessive force, abusive authority, and unlawful detentions, ensuring that every case is examined with the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and fairness. Our longstanding commitment to justice and community trust drives us to deliver independent, thorough, and unbiased investigations, thereby upholding the integrity of law enforcement and protecting the rights of all individuals.

As public concerns over police accountability and use-of-force incidents continue to grow, there has been a shift toward outsourcing police misconduct investigations to private investigative agencies. This trend aims to provide greater transparency, reduce conflicts of interest, and improve public trust in the complaint review process. Below are the key developments in this evolving practice.

Rise of Independent Private Investigators in Police Oversight:


Historically, internal affairs divisions within police departments handled civilian complaints. However, concerns over bias, conflicts of interest, and lack of transparency have led many cities to contract private investigative firms to review police conduct.

Key Drivers Behind This Trend:

  • Increased Public Scrutiny & Calls for Transparency – Independent investigations are seen as less biased than internal police reviews.
  • Legal Reforms & Oversight Mandates – Some cities and states now require external investigations for cases involving excessive force or deaths in custody.
  • Lawsuits & Civil Settlements – Government agencies seek independent reviews to mitigate legal liability in misconduct cases.
