    Officer Smith engaged in an extramarital affair with a woman identified as Miss ___. He visited her residence while on duty without notifying his supervisors, failed to report an incident where Miss ___ took his service revolver and fired it, and was accused of physically assaulting and threatening her. These actions violated multiple departmental rules, leading to his dismissal. However, the dismissal was later challenged on constitutional grounds.

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.
