What Counts as Police Misconduct?

Every day, police officers face difficult situations that require quick decisions. While most officers carry out their duties professionally, some abuse their power in ways that cause terrible harm. Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and hurt people they're supposed to protect.

In Oceanside, we've seen how these incidents can tear families apart and change lives forever. That's why our firm focuses specifically on cases involving catastrophic injuries from police brutality.

  • Cases where someone has died due to police actions
Red Flags of Police Misconduct

Looking back, many victims spot warning signs that things were about to go wrong. Common signs of police misconduct include:

  • Using much more force than needed
