Ryan Griffin – Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office

In late 2020, Deputy Ryan Griffin, who also served as the president of the department’s Police Benevolent Association, was investigated for sharing inflammatory, racist, and untrue material on his personal Facebook page. The posts included attacks on political figures, promotion of conspiracy theories, and derogatory comments about Black Lives Matter. The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office conducted an Internal Affairs investigation, and Griffin was assigned to an administrative unit without public contact during the review. As of March 2021, the investigation was ongoing, and no disciplinary actions had been publicly disclosed.

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.
