In September 2024, Officer Jakob Oliver was charged with domestic assault, second-degree unlawful restraint, and interference with access to emergency services. The charges stemmed from incidents between late August and early September 2024, where Oliver was accused of physically assaulting his partner, preventing her from calling emergency services, and restricting her ability to leave. He pleaded not guilty and was placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
