Holding the Duncan Police Department Accountable
Citizens in Duncan should not fear the police. However, interactions on roads like US-81 and Hwy 7 often escalate unnecessarily due to poor training or aggressive officers. If you were injured during an arrest, you have rights under the 4th Amendment.
Types of Cases We Handle in Duncan
- Excessive Force: Using taser, baton, or physical strikes on a compliant or restrained citizen.
- Unjustified Shootings: Officers firing weapons when there is no imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm.
- False Arrest: Being detained without probable cause or a warrant.
Was the Arrest Lawful?
Even if you were charged with a crime (like Resisting Arrest), you can still sue for excessive force if the officer's reaction was unreasonable. We litigate these cases in the Stephens County District Court and federal courts.
