In recent years, the Miramar Police Department has faced allegations of reverse discrimination, resulting in a $565,000 settlement in 2022 to resolve claims from three senior white officers who alleged they were denied promotions in favor of minority candidates. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions, types of violations, and their frequency are not publicly disclosed. However, the department has been involved in notable lawsuits alleging misconduct, including a case where a former officer was accused of fabricating evidence leading to a wrongful conviction. Typical punishments for violations have ranged from demotions and reassignments to financial settlements. The department has also faced scrutiny over its handling of use-of-force incidents and internal investigations.
