Jeffrey Overton – Globe Police Department

Sergeant Jeffrey Overton was disciplined in 2020 for tasering a mentally ill woman, Memory Burns, in her home without a warrant. Burns, who has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, had committed no crime and presented no threat. Overton was suspended for 20 hours for unnecessary use of force. Prior to joining Globe PD, Overton resigned from the Pinetop-Lakeside Police Department in 2019 amid multiple misconduct cases, including six police car crashes, sexual harassment of a co-worker, mishandled DUI investigations, and a fabricated report of being shot at in his patrol car. The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board is reviewing his conduct.

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

How You Can Participate

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.
