Anthony Thomas – Oak Park Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Former Sergeant Anthony Thomas testified in 2015 about questionable practices within the department, including being ordered to change officers’ evaluations and being targeted for taking sick leave. He also alleged that he was instructed to contact officers on sick leave to inquire into their status, despite them being cleared for leave by human resources.

Welcome to Police Accountability Database

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

How You Can Participate

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Make threats of any kind
  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

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.
