Over the past decade, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) has faced several high-profile incidents involving officer misconduct, leading to disciplinary actions and public scrutiny. Notable cases include the fatal shootings of unarmed individuals and the use of excessive force during arrests. The department has seen multiple officers indicted on charges ranging from involuntary manslaughter to battery resulting in serious bodily injury. While some officers were acquitted, others faced convictions and prison sentences. The IMPD has also been subject to civil lawsuits alleging excessive force and violations of civil rights. These incidents have prompted internal reviews, policy changes, and recommendations for officer terminations to address patterns of misconduct and restore public trust.
