    Convicted in 2023 for his role in the death of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man detained in Aurora in August 2019. Roedema was found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault after prosecutors showed that he helped hold McClain down and failed to respond to his pleas for help as McClain was violently restrained and injected with ketamine. He was sentenced to 14 months in jail plus probation – one of the first Colorado officers to be jailed for a death-in-custody incident.

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.
