Over the past decade, the Boise City Police Department has faced several high-profile disciplinary actions and lawsuits. Notable incidents include the resignation of Chief Ryan Lee amid multiple complaints, the termination of Officer Kayse Stone for truthfulness violations, and the settlement of a $400,000 lawsuit related to academy misconduct. The department has also dealt with issues of excessive force, retaliation, and discrimination. These cases have led to internal reviews and policy changes aimed at improving accountability and transparency within the department.
