    In March 2024, Deputy Cpl. Mark Belisle was placed on paid administrative leave after making improper comments to a jury during a sexual assault trial in Washington County. Belisle allegedly informed jurors that the defendant was in jail during the trial and expressed a bias toward believing police officers over other witnesses. These actions led to the judge ordering a new trial. An internal investigation was initiated, and Belisle declined to comment during the pending investigation.

    In March 2024, Deputy Mark Belisle was placed on paid administrative leave after making improper comments to jurors during a sexual assault trial in Washington County. Belisle reportedly informed at least one juror that the defendant was being held in jail during the trial and expressed a personal bias towards believing police officers over other witnesses. These remarks led to the judge ordering a new trial. An internal investigation into Belisle’s conduct was initiated by the Barre City Police Chief at the request of the Windsor County Sheriff.

Our Mission

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

How You Can Participate

  • 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.
