Over the past decade, the Fairfield Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions and lawsuits. Notably, in 2015, an officer was ordered to undergo counseling following a civil rights violation for peering through a home’s garage window, potentially violating the resident’s rights against unreasonable search and seizure. In 2017, another officer was suspended for harassment and stalking, involving inappropriate phone calls to a female employee. Additionally, in 2021, Detective Kerry Dalling filed lawsuits alleging a hostile work environment and retaliation after reporting inappropriate behavior within the department. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges related to officer conduct and internal department culture.
