In recent years, the Olive Branch Police Department has faced several disciplinary actions involving serious misconduct. Notably, in 2017, at least eight officers resigned following allegations of engaging in sexual activities while on duty, including in patrol cars and at the fire station. The department has also dealt with cases of excessive force, obstruction of justice, and violations of civil rights. Typical punishments have ranged from suspensions to resignations in lieu of termination, and in some cases, criminal charges and convictions. These incidents have raised concerns about department-wide accountability and the need for comprehensive reforms to restore public trust.
