Lt. Cornelius Rodgers – New London Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2021, Lt. Rodgers filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the city, alleging disparate treatment and biased investigations due to his race. He cited incidents including a 20-day suspension in 2007 for use of force, where white officers involved were not disciplined. The lawsuit was settled in September 2023 with a $570,000 payment to Rodgers, removal of certain disciplinary actions from his record, and implementation of diversity training within the department.

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.
