Lance Martel – Essex Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2021, Officer Martel was charged with voyeurism after taking a screenshot of a nude photo of a woman without her permission. An internal investigation in May 2022 found a pattern of inappropriate behavior involving seven women, including assault and sending unsolicited nude photos. His law enforcement certification was revoked in February 2024, with the possibility to reapply after seven years.

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.
