Police Misconduct
Police officers are trained to treat the public with respect and dignity. They are only to use the amount of force necessary to protect themselves and the public. Unfortunately, there are times when police officers are careless, negligent, or cause intentional harm to citizens. Our Pensacola civil rights attorney represents individuals who have been harmed by police misconduct.
Police misconduct may have several contributing factors, such as:
- Poor training
- Personal prejudice
- Lack of supervision
- A combination of factors
This topic has gotten more attention in recent years with high profile cases of police brutality or misconduct resulting in serious injury or death. In addition to media attention, excessive force can give rise to a civil rights lawsuit.
