Unfortunately there isn't good record access and record keeping. Agencies have no repercussion from not reporting. But this report is trying to get all the records it can but it's barely any of the 18,000+ agencies across the USA. The claim the focused on the larger ones and got 700 of them.
"They include 22,924 investigations of officers using excessive force, 3,145 allegations of rape, child molestation and other sexual misconduct and 2,307 cases of domestic violence by officers."
These are just accusations so who knows how many actually did it, but I lean towards most and they are the tip of the iceberg since the majority of people raped or sexually assaulted, especially by someone in power never report it. It's roughly 3/4 are not reported and a decent percentage is have the report falsified.
That's over a decade but that's far from a complete list. That also doesn't include all the stations and all the police that it wasn't on record for.
Who knows the extent of these things since we aren't holding them accountable. There needs to be transparency so good cops can survive and bad go away.
As far as old friends go, I get that but who actually knows how they actually are.
