Over the past decade, the Owasso Police Department has faced several notable incidents involving officer misconduct. Specific statistics on the total number of disciplinary actions are not publicly detailed. However, the department has dealt with cases involving excessive use of force, leading to terminations and legal proceedings. For instance, Officer Michael Denton was terminated twice for excessive force incidents in 2011 and 2015. The department has also faced civil rights lawsuits resulting in settlements, such as the $75,000 settlement to Bryan Spradlin in 2015. These incidents highlight challenges in maintaining departmental standards and addressing officer misconduct.
