What Counts as Police Misconduct?Police misconduct happens when officers step beyond their legal authority and harm citizens through excessive force or abuse of power. While the majority of police officers perform their duties professionally, those who abuse their position can leave victims with devastating, life-altering injuries.

- Overwhelming medical bills
- Lost wages and inability to work
