Over the past decade, the Nampa Police Department has faced several notable incidents of misconduct. In 2009, internal investigations revealed widespread financial mismanagement and officer misconduct, leading to a federal lawsuit and a $189,000 settlement in 2012. In 2018, Officer Jarad Layne Webb was arrested on charges related to controlled substances and false reporting. Additionally, data indicates that the department has a higher rate of police-involved killings compared to 77% of U.S. police departments, with six such incidents reported. There have also been four civilian complaints of police misconduct, with only one in four ruled in favor of civilians as of 2021. These incidents highlight ongoing challenges in officer accountability and departmental oversight.
