Comprehensive statistics about agency-wide disciplinary actions, patterns of misconduct, use-of-force incidents, and any department-wide corruption or scandals are not readily available for the West Monroe Police Department. However, the department has faced legal challenges, such as the 2013 lawsuit filed by Don Harger alleging false arrest and excessive force by Officers Ledoux and Hattaway. The court found that the officers lacked probable cause for the arrest and denied them qualified immunity, allowing the case to proceed. This incident highlights concerns regarding the department’s handling of arrests and use of force.
