Over the past decade, the Middletown Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions involving individual officers. Notable cases include internal investigations leading to suspensions, terminations, and legal proceedings. Violations have ranged from conduct unbecoming an officer to excessive use of force. Outcomes have varied, with some officers resigning or retiring before the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings, while others faced legal consequences such as probation or dismissal of charges under specific conditions. The department has also been involved in lawsuits alleging excessive force and other civil rights violations, resulting in legal scrutiny and, in some cases, settlements or judgments against the department.
