Dustin Young – Elkhart Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Officer Young signed a search warrant affidavit based on false statements by Officer Schwartz, leading to the wrongful charging of Hahkeem Layman in 2020. The charges were dismissed in early 2023 after the court found the officers’ testimonies unreliable.

Welcome to Police Accountability Database

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

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.
