Over the past decade, the Farmington Hills Police Department has faced several allegations of misconduct, including excessive use of force and racial discrimination. Notably, in 2021, a lawsuit was filed alleging that officers used excessive force against David Hurley, a Black man, in front of his children. Additionally, in 2016, a lawsuit was filed by Robert Zucker alleging excessive force during a welfare check. These incidents have raised concerns about the department’s use-of-force policies and accountability measures.
