The Waterville Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions in recent years. Specific statistics are not publicly disclosed, but documented cases include suspensions and demotions for misconduct such as inappropriate on-duty behavior and improper use of force. The department has been involved in incidents where officers were disciplined for restraining a child during a parental spanking and for engaging in extramarital affairs while on duty. These actions have led to internal reviews and policy evaluations to prevent future occurrences.
