Professional Standards is a multi-function entity that reports directly to the Chief of Police. Two lieutenants are currently assigned to Professional Standards.

The primary responsibility of Professional Standards is to receive and investigate complaints and allegations of criminal and administrative misconduct against the Norman Police Department and its employees. The basic purpose of this function is to ensure the highest degree of service and professionalism by identifying and helping resolve training and/or policy shortcomings and employee conduct. The Division also manages the department's Body-Worn Camera Program. 

Additionally, the Division collects and analyzes data regarding use of force, vehicular pursuits, and employee-involved traffic collisions.
