What Counts as Police Misconduct in Rialto?Police misconduct happens when officers step outside their legal authority and harm citizens through excessive force or abuse of power. While most police officers serve our community with honor, those who abuse their position can cause life-changing injuries or even death.
We've seen many cases where routine encounters escalated into dangerous situations. Whether it's a traffic stop gone wrong or excessive force during an arrest, the results can be tragic.
