    In 2004, Sheriff Jerry Colson was found to have inadequately supervised and trained staff regarding inmate medical needs, violating the Eighth Amendment rights of inmates. The court identified systemic deficiencies in medical record-keeping, delays in providing medical care, and lack of suicide prevention policies, exposing inmates to substantial risk of serious harm.

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.
