Lieutenant Romero – Williams Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2024, Lieutenant Romero was involved in an incident where he allegedly used excessive force by throwing a handcuffed individual to the ground, resulting in serious injury. An internal investigation led to a written reprimand, requiring Romero to review the department’s use-of-force policy and provide a presentation to the department. The investigation was criticized for not interviewing key witnesses, including the arresting officer. Former officers and the victim’s family questioned the adequacy of the disciplinary action taken.
