    Over the past decade, the Dunwoody Police Department has faced several significant disciplinary actions and misconduct cases. Notably, former Lieutenant Fidel Espinoza resigned in 2020 amid allegations of sexual harassment involving multiple officers. In 2022, former Sergeant Robert Parsons resigned following his second DUI arrest, and Officer Brian Bolden was terminated for leaking information to the media. These incidents highlight issues related to sexual harassment, substance abuse, and breaches of confidentiality within the department. The department has faced lawsuits and settlements, including a $180,000 jury award in 2024 to former Officer Bryan Castellanos for sexual harassment claims. These cases underscore the need for ongoing efforts to address misconduct and maintain professional standards within the department.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
