Over the past decade, the Milford Police Department has faced several incidents involving officer misconduct. Specific data on the total number of disciplinary actions, types of violations, and their frequencies are not publicly disclosed. However, notable cases include the fatal shooting of Brandon Roberts in 2020, which led to a wrongful death lawsuit alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, former officer Joles was terminated in 2018 for alleged misconduct during his probationary period, leading to legal action against the department. The outcomes of these cases have varied, with some resulting in settlements and others in ongoing litigation. Overall, the department has faced scrutiny over its handling of use-of-force incidents and officer accountability.
