Peoria Officers Hosting ‘Comply and Complain’ Workshop

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Two Peoria police officers are hosting a workshop this weekend on what to do when stopped by police.

Officers Daniel Duncan and Aaron Watkins will lead the free workshop detailing “Comply and Complain” on Saturday afternoon. The officers will attempt to educate residents about what to do and what not to do when they’re stopped by police.

Duncan tells the (Peoria) Journal Star that a person always should comply with an officer instead of resisting. He says it’s best to file a complaint after the fact.

The Peoria Police Department received 36 formal complaints in 2013 and 54 last year. It has recorded 17 complaints so far this year.
