    Former officer Chase Winkle, son of former police chief Joe Winkle, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison in August 2023 after pleading guilty to 11 counts related to excessive use of force and obstruction of justice. Between 2018 and 2019, Winkle engaged in unjustified physical assaults on arrestees, including kicking, punching, knee-striking, and using a taser, resulting in bodily injuries. He also falsified reports to cover up these actions. Winkle was fired from the Muncie Police Department in November 2022 following his plea agreement.

Welcome to Police Accountability Database

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

How You Can Participate

  • View the Blog: Read about documented police interactions
  • Share Your Experience: Submit your own police interaction story
  • Browse the Forums: Check if your local law enforcement has been documented

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Make threats of any kind
  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

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.
