    In June 2017, Marlon Smith was bitten by a police dog deployed by a Snohomish County Sheriff’s deputy during an arrest. Smith required surgery due to the bite and filed a lawsuit alleging battery and civil rights violations. An internal investigation found that one of the deputies violated department policy, resulting in a letter of reprimand. In January 2021, Snohomish County settled the lawsuit for $20,000 without admitting liability.

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.
