Detective Steven Ditria was involved in a 2018 incident where he improperly accessed a law enforcement database to obtain information about a New Haven man, which he then shared with the man’s estranged wife. This action led to an internal affairs investigation, resulting in an eight-day suspension without pay. In July 2020, the affected individual filed a lawsuit against Ditria, alleging invasion of privacy and emotional distress.
