There are two types of complaints: registered and non-registered.  When someone submits a registered complaint, they will be kept informed about the investigation and its outcome, and they have a right to appeal the result.  By contrast, someone submitting a non-registered complaint does not participate any further in the process and cannot appeal the outcome.

An individual can register a complaint by submitting it either directly to the OPCC or to an on-duty police member at the station who is assigned to receive ''Police Act'' complaints (''Police Act'', s 78(2)).  A non-registered complaint can be submitted orally to any on-duty member in the station or on the road.
