    Deputy Steven O’Leary was terminated in January 2019 after an internal investigation revealed he made multiple false narcotics-related arrests between May and December 2018. O’Leary claimed substances tested positive for narcotics, but lab results showed they were legal substances like headache powder and laundry detergent. He was arrested in July 2019 and, in December 2021, sentenced to 13 years in prison for fabricating evidence and making false arrests. Fourteen victims filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against O’Leary and the Sheriff’s Office, seeking damages exceeding $75,000.

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

  • 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.
