    HPD Officer Jose M. Garcia III was fired in 2018 after an investigation revealed he had exchanged 690 text messages with a woman engaged in prostitution and arranged to meet her for sex​:contentReference[oaicite:45]{index=45}​:contentReference[oaicite:46]{index=46}. The woman was later found murdered, and internal affairs found Garcia solicited prostitution (even asking for a “first responder” discount). His termination was upheld by an independent hearing examiner in 2019​:contentReference[oaicite:47]{index=47}.

Welcome to Police Accountability Database

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

How You Can Participate

  • View the Blog: Read about documented police interactions
  • Share Your Experience: Submit your own police interaction story
  • Browse the Forums: Check if your local law enforcement has been documented

Important Community Guidelines

It is strictly against our rules to:

  • Make threats of any kind
  • Share private information such as personal emails, home addresses, or phone numbers

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
