The lawyers at Robert E. Sweeney Co., LPA have great respect for the service provided by all our safety forces. So, when police officers act in a way that is contrary to policy and violate their oath and responsibilities as public servants, they must be held accountable.
Most police officers act in a law-abiding manner in the performance of their job duties. Police misconduct is the exception, rather than the rule; and when it does occur, it must be reported. Reporting police misconduct to the department commanding officer is an important first step towards improving public safety and ending the continued misuse of authority. But sometimes, reporting misconduct is not enough.
If you believe that you or a loved one has been the subject of police misconduct, you may have legal recourse. An experienced attorney from Robert E. Sweeney Co., LPA can meet with you, review your case and determine how best to proceed. less
