Police Brutality and Misconduct

 

Most police officers and prison officials respect the rights of citizens and uphold their duty to protect our safety. Unfortunately, however, there are times when police officers act beyond their authority. This usually takes the form of excessive use of force, improper arrests, or improper denial of medical treatment. When this occurs, a victim of police brutality or police misconduct may have a claim against the police officer for a violation of civil rights. Victims are entitled to monetary compensation when their civil rights are violated.
