Chief of Police Kevin Van Diepen – Huron Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2021, Chief Kevin Van Diepen was named in a lawsuit filed by Eric Virrueta alleging excessive force and equal protection violations by Huron Police Department officers. The claims against Chief Van Diepen were dismissed without prejudice due to a lack of specific allegations connecting him to the unconstitutional conduct or failure to supervise or train the involved officers.
