Law enforcement agencies and police departments in California are tasked with duty to protect and serve.

In just a three year period the LAPD [Los Angeles Police Department] paid over $64 Million dollars in damages for abuse by its police officers. Compensation for injuries due to police abuse can be based on several factors including
Punitive damages are available where the law enforcement officer has acted with intentional intent or reckless disregard for the victims civil rights. If you have any further questions and would like to speak to a Civil Rights Police Abuse Attorney call us at (855) 339-8879.
