Police Officer Fired for Misconduct

A police officer who is fired for misconduct has been terminated from their law‑enforcement job after violating department policies or the law—such as using excessive force, engaging in corruption, harassment, discrimination, falsifying reports, or other illegal or unethical behavior. The dismissal typically follows an internal investigation, disciplinary hearing, or criminal prosecution, and may be accompanied by loss of pension benefits, civil lawsuits, and possible criminal charges.
