    In January 2023, Captain Essig allegedly groped Officer Kristen Delacruz under the pretense of checking if she was wearing a vest. This incident led to a lawsuit filed by Delacruz in May 2024, accusing Essig of sexual harassment and assault. The lawsuit also claims that Essig retaliated against Delacruz for reporting the incident by creating a hostile work environment. The case is currently pending in Somerset County Superior Court.

Welcome to Police Accountability Database

Our Mission

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

How You Can Participate

  • View the Blog: Read about documented police interactions
  • Share Your Experience: Submit your own police interaction story
  • Browse the Forums: Check if your local law enforcement has been documented

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.
