Andre Bonaparte – Baltimore Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Former Deputy Commissioner Andre Bonaparte was terminated in March 2019 following an internal complaint related to his disciplining of a subordinate. Bonaparte alleged that his firing was due to racial discrimination and retaliation. He filed a lawsuit seeking over $525,000 in damages, claiming that his termination was based on a ‘bogus internal complaint’ and that he was denied due process. The lawsuit also alleged that expunged documents regarding a domestic violence case were leaked to discredit him. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available sources.
