Officer Brian Schamber – Los Alamos County Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In December 2012, Officer Schamber was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility for 10 days after colleagues reported concerns about his mental health and potential danger to the community. He filed a lawsuit against Los Alamos County, alleging he was handcuffed, drugged, and held against his will. The county settled the lawsuit for $600,000 in 2013.

Our Mission

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

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.
