Luilly Vargas – New York City Police Department

Detective Luilly Vargas has been named in 18 civil lawsuits since 2013, with city settlements in those cases totaling about $637,000. Among the allegations against Vargas are claims of excessive force and unjustified stops – for example, he was implicated in a 2022 case where a Bronx man was allegedly beaten, searched, and falsely charged without cause (that suit settled for $125,000). Vargas remains on active duty as an New YorkPD detective, with no public record of significant disciplinary action against him despite the series of misconduct accusations.
