Sgt. Mark Sam Allen – Middletown Division of Police

Written by CBKN76

In October 2018 and 2019, Sgt. Allen failed to report sexual harassment allegations against Detective Brandon Highley during law enforcement conferences. Despite receiving written and verbal notices of Highley’s inappropriate conduct, Allen did not inform his superiors. As a result, on February 18, 2020, Allen was demoted from sergeant to officer for violating the department’s sexual harassment policy.

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.
