In 2016, Officer David Pender was found guilty of using unnecessary force against a 16-year-old boy. He received a six-month unpaid suspension, was required to complete anger management training, relinquished his position as a school resource officer, and served a two-year probation. In 2020, he was sued by another individual alleging he punched him during a traffic stop. Pender remains on active duty.
