In 2019, Officer Shawn Tivnan arrested a man for assaulting a police officer. Surveillance footage later revealed that the man was calmly interacting with another officer when Tivnan pulled him down from behind, leading to a police K9 attack. The incident was deemed a ‘policy failure,’ and Tivnan faced internal scrutiny for filing a false report.
