Over the past decade, the Hattiesburg Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions involving its officers. Notable cases include the termination of Officer Clint Breland for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a minor, leading to violations such as conduct unbecoming an officer and neglect of duty. Additionally, Sergeant Rockhold was implicated in the wrongful arrest and detention of an individual due to false statements and omissions in an affidavit, resulting in a court finding of Fourth Amendment violations. Officers McGinty and Lieutenant Bullock were involved in incidents raising concerns about unjustified detentions and potential bias. These cases highlight issues related to misconduct, abuse of authority, and violations of civil rights within the department.
