Over the past decade, the San Diego Police Department has faced numerous disciplinary actions and lawsuits involving individual officers. These incidents include excessive use of force, racial discrimination, and falsification of reports. The department has been scrutinized for its handling of officer misconduct, leading to internal investigations and legal settlements. Notably, there have been cases where officers used force inappropriately, made racially insensitive remarks, and engaged in actions that compromised the integrity of the department. These issues have resulted in disciplinary measures ranging from written warnings to terminations, as well as financial settlements in civil lawsuits.
