    In 2009, Sgt. Basso was named in a lawsuit alleging repeated sexual harassment of a female corrections officer, including making lewd comments and asking inappropriate questions about her personal life and the female inmates she oversaw. The lawsuit resulted in an undisclosed settlement in 2010. In 2018, Basso was suspended without pay for two weeks for six policy violations, including ‘negligent supervision,’ ‘prohibited conduct,’ ‘inability to perform duties,’ and ‘sexual harassment.’

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.
