In January 2006, Officer Michael Coffin was involved in an incident where excessive force was alleged during the arrest of a suspect. The suspect claimed that Coffin and other officers used unnecessary physical force, resulting in injuries. The case led to legal proceedings questioning the officers’ conduct and the department’s use-of-force policies.
