    In May 2014, Deputy Dominic Torres sexually assaulted inmate Jennifer Hernandez at the Otero County Jail. Torres was known to watch female inmates undress and shower, and he provided contraband in exchange for sexual favors. After Hernandez reported the assault, Torres was fired and pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual conduct in a correctional institution. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, four years of probation, community service, and required to register as a sex offender. The county settled with Hernandez for $150,000 in January 2017.

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.
