Enquirer investigation: Search this list for cops in your

town with marks on their record
Cincinnati Enquirer Published 2:49 p.m. ET Oct. 10, 2019 | Updated 2:49 p.m. ET Oct. 10, 2019

An Enquirer investigation has found 130 officers scattered across Southwest Ohio accused or found guilty of wrongdoing who are on official lists of cops
with marks on their records. Search the graphic below to find all of them.

The 130 officers have criminal convictions, used excessive force, or violated rules for honesty and integrity.

At least 70 are currently employed in Southwest Ohio, according to the state Attorney General's Office, with the majority working for the Cincinnati Police
Department or Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Some of the 70 have been convicted on criminal charges such as prostitution, assault or vehicle
operation in willful disregard of safety. Others violated department rules including dishonesty or altering records.

Hamilton, Warren and Pike county prosecutors' offices released their lists to The Enquirer upon request. It got some documents on one officer from Butler
County. The Enquirer also obtained data on police certifications from the Ohio Attorney General's office and attempted to contact all 19 police agencies
as part of its investigation.

Which local forces have names on a Brady list?


One hundred thirty current and former of cers from 19 police agencies are
on the Brady lists maintained by Hamilton, Pike and Warren county
prosecutors, as well as in documents from Butler County.
