Over the past decade, the Warren Police Department has faced multiple incidents involving officer misconduct, including excessive use of force, unauthorized jurisdictional actions, and fatal vehicular accidents. These incidents have led to criminal charges against the officers involved, terminations from the department, and significant financial settlements, such as a $400,000 payout in August 2023 for a false arrest claim. The department has also faced lawsuits alleging violations of constitutional rights and inadequate training and supervision of officers.
