Between 2018 and 2021, the City of New Britain paid $113,500 to settle cases involving excessive force, false arrests, and other unprofessional conduct by police officers. These settlements suggest a pattern of misconduct within the department, including wrongful arrests and use of excessive force. Typical punishments have included financial settlements, and in some cases, officers have retired before facing disciplinary hearings. The department has also faced scandals involving on-duty sexual misconduct and retaliation against fellow officers.
