Where a complaint goes in Connecticut
A complaint normally goes first to the agency's own internal affairs division. Larger cities may also have a civilian review board or independent monitor. The Connecticut Attorney General can investigate patterns of misconduct, and the federal Department of Justice can open a pattern-or-practice investigation.
A civil claim for a violation of constitutional rights is usually brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Deadlines are set by Connecticut law, not federal law, and they are strict.
How people were killed
| Cause of death | Deaths | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Gunshot | 48 | 76.2% |
| Taser | 9 | 14.3% |
| Gunshot, Taser | 4 | 6.3% |
| Physical Restraint | 2 | 3.2% |
Where more than one means is recorded for the same death, both appear in the combined category rather than being counted twice.
Were any officers charged
Of the 63 deaths recorded in Connecticut, 1 led to a criminal charge against an officer, 1.6% of them. In 62 there is no known charge.
| Outcome where a charge was brought | Cases |
