Disciplinary Actions Overview – Chula Vista Police Department

Due to limited publicly available information, comprehensive statistics on agency-wide disciplinary actions, patterns of misconduct, use-of-force incidents, and department-wide corruption or scandals within the Chula Vista Police Department over the past decade are not readily accessible. Notably, in 2024, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the department for allegedly withholding public records related to fatal uses of force and officer misconduct, suggesting potential transparency issues.

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Make threats of any kind
  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
