San Diego PD Misconduct Cases On The Rise.
SAN DIEGO — In 2010 there were 2,427 police misconduct complaints recorded by the San Diego Police Department. That’s up from 1,774 in 2006. But SDPD Legal Counsel Paul Cooper said the department changed its reporting system about three years ago when it began separating complaints into two different categories based on how serious they are.

Mounties file complaints again
Stellarton's police chief is under investigation by the Nova Scotia Police Commission.
Chief Ambrose Heighton confirmed Wednesday that complaints have been filed against him by four RCMP officers in Pictou County.
Heighton said the complaints stem from a letter he received about alleged RCMP misconduct.
Heighton wouldn't discuss the details of the letter or the complaint, but said all he did was pass the letter on to the Justice Department.
Heighton said he has a good rapport with members of the RCMP and doesn't feel he's done anything wrong.
Tom Haney, director of the Nova Scotia Police Complaints Commission, confirmed that complaints were received by the commission in November, but declined further comment.
``I can't say who they're against and I can't say who they're by because right now all they are are unconfirmed allegations and it really wouldn't be fair,'' he said.
The investigation, which has already started, will last for 60 days provided there isn't a request to extend it.
If the investigation finds Heighton in the wrong, the Stellarton Police Commission has the authority to discipline him.
The commission's chair, James Hood, said he wasn't prepared to say anything about the investigation at this time, although he was aware of it.
``I can't comment on that yet. I have no report to give,'' he said.
Calls to the RCMP were not returned.
