Submit a Compliment

A Job Well Done!

Everyone enjoys receiving recognition for their efforts and we realize that many of our residents and visitors to the City of Troy would like to know how to compliment our officers for a job well done.

Compliments and commendations, either verbal or written, are one of the best ways to let our officers know that you appreciate their good work and extraordinary service. A commendation for an officer of the Troy Police Department is sent to the Chief of Police. Your compliments may be made using our online form, in person, by phone, by email or fax, or through a letter or informal note to the Troy police Department.

A compliment or commendation may address any event that you feel demonstrates any effort on the part of an officer that deserves special recognition.

All compliments and commendations are formally documented and the affected officers and their supervisors will be notified.
