Over the past decade, the Lewiston Police Department has faced several notable incidents involving officer misconduct. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions are not publicly detailed. However, documented cases include allegations of excessive force and off-duty misconduct. For instance, in 2006, an officer was found to have used excessive force during an arrest, resulting in a federal jury ruling against him. In another case from 2023, a high-ranking officer was placed on administrative leave due to alleged indecent exposure. The department has faced lawsuits related to these incidents, with outcomes ranging from financial settlements to administrative actions. These cases highlight challenges in maintaining conduct standards and the importance of accountability within the department.
