    On August 29, 2000, off-duty Officer Kevin Harty was involved in an altercation with Jesse Ousley, during which Harty identified himself as a police officer and used force. Ousley filed a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations, claiming Harty acted under color of state law. The court found sufficient evidence to suggest Harty was acting in his official capacity, leading to a denial of summary judgment for Harty. The case highlighted issues regarding the use of force by off-duty officers and the responsibilities of the Lincoln Police Department in supervising their personnel.

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

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.
