Over the past decade, the Chicopee Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions involving officers at various ranks. Notable incidents include the unauthorized sharing of graphic crime scene photos in 2011, leading to reprimands and unpaid shifts for involved officers. In 2015, a sergeant was demoted and suspended for untruthfulness and incompetence, though the demotion was later reversed. In 2017, a captain was suspended for incompetence and policy violations. The department has also been subject to allegations of internal divisions, mishandled investigations, and retaliatory actions, indicating systemic issues within the organization.
