Understanding Police Misconduct in Riverside County

Police misconduct occurs when law enforcement officers violate citizens' rights through excessive force, abuse of power, or other improper actions. While most officers serve honorably, those who cross the line must be held accountable, especially when their actions cause devastating injuries.
