    In June 2019, Officer Chad Joswiak was involved in the arrest of 17-year-old David Clash-Miller during a mental health crisis. Joswiak assisted in restraining Clash-Miller, who was slammed against a door and thrown onto a couch. The incident was captured on home surveillance video and led to a federal civil rights lawsuit. The city of Madison agreed to a $1.1 million settlement in 2022. An internal review found the officers’ use of force was within accepted methods and procedures of their training.

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.
