Michael Major – Berlin Police Department

In 2023, Officer Michael Major made an offensive comment during a Vermont Criminal Justice Council meeting, interrupting a migrant worker’s testimony with a derogatory remark about their immigration status. The incident led to his resignation from both the council and the Berlin Police Department. The council emphasized that his comments were not representative of their values and underscored the need to eliminate discriminatory attitudes within law enforcement.

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

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • 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.
