Over the past decade, the Orono Police Department has faced limited publicized incidents of officer misconduct. Specific statistics on disciplinary actions, types of violations, and their frequencies are not readily available. However, notable cases include a 2016 incident where two officers were sued for warrantless entry, leading to a federal appeals court ruling that the lawsuit could proceed.
