    In June 2019, Officer McClain responded to a domestic violence complaint at the apartment of former Bridgeport police officer Steven Figueroa. McClain and his partner, Officer Napoleone, failed to conduct a thorough investigation, leaving without further inquiry. This negligence allowed Figueroa to continue assaulting the victim. McClain was terminated in July 2020 for mishandling the incident. He filed a grievance and a federal lawsuit alleging wrongful termination. In April 2024, a jury awarded him $780,000 in damages, finding that city officials violated his constitutional rights.

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.
