organizations. Our efforts are not intended to hinder the police nor to embarrass officers
without cause. However, we are sure that cases of misconduct and the failure to receive
complaints by the police must be publicized to prevent their reoccurrence.

If you have a complaint about a bank or other financial institution, the Federal Reserve

Federal Reserve Banks around the country to make certain the commercial banks that the
Federal Reserve supervises abide by these laws. We can help individual consumers by:
