Disciplinary Actions Overview – Covington Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Over the past decade, the Covington Police Department has faced multiple lawsuits alleging officer misconduct, including excessive force and civil rights violations. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions, types of violations, and their outcomes are not publicly disclosed. However, notable cases involve officers like John Murphy and Doug Ullrich, who have been subjects of multiple lawsuits. The department has faced criticism for its handling of these incidents, with some officers remaining on duty despite repeated allegations. Use-of-force incidents have led to legal actions, but detailed outcomes and department-wide reforms remain unclear.
