Holding the Shawnee Police Department Accountable
Citizens in Shawnee should not fear the police. However, interactions on roads like I-40 and Hwy 177 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 Shawnee
- 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 Pottawatomie County District Court and federal courts.
