    Comprehensive statistics on agency-wide disciplinary actions are not readily available. However, notable incidents include the 2019 confrontation involving Officers Williams and VanWagner, which led to a $400,000 settlement, and the 1990 case involving Officers Deters and Storzieri, which resulted in prolonged legal proceedings. These cases highlight concerns regarding use-of-force incidents and the department’s handling of disciplinary actions.

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.
