Over the past decade, the Middletown Police Department has faced several significant disciplinary actions involving its officers. Notably, in 2023, Corporal Robert McNair resigned after testing positive for unauthorized substances. In 2024, former Sergeant David Ringkamp was indicted on multiple charges, including official misconduct and drug offenses. These incidents highlight issues related to substance abuse, misuse of authority, and involvement in illegal activities within the department. The department has taken steps to address these violations through suspensions, terminations, and legal proceedings to uphold integrity and public trust.
