The Owensboro Pro Standards Division is a crucial unit within the Owensboro Police Department, dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the department and fostering trust between the community and law enforcement. Led by Lt. Tristan Russelburg, the Professional Standards Unit ensures accountability by receiving, processing, and investigating complaints against police conduct, whether they originate from external sources or within the department itself.
The unit's objective is to guarantee objectivity, fairness, and justice through impartial investigations and reviews of complaints, aiming to uphold the integrity of the Owensboro Police Department. In cases where criminal activity is suspected, the County Attorney or Commonwealth's Attorney is immediately notified, although the Professional Standards Unit remains responsible for the investigation. With a commitment to thoroughness, every complaint is vigorously pursued, and the Chief of Police supports the dispositions of sustained, exonerated, not sustained, or unfounded upon completion of the investigation.
