Over the past decade, the Anaheim Police Department has faced multiple allegations of officer misconduct, including excessive use of force, sexual assault, and misuse of authority. Notable incidents include the 2018 shooting of Eliuth Nava Penaloza, resulting in a $2.9 million settlement and the termination of an officer. In 2023, Officer Carlos Romero was placed on leave following allegations of sexual assault. The department has been involved in several lawsuits, leading to significant financial settlements. These cases highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining accountability and public trust within the department.
