Comment on The Maine sheriffs that destroy discipline records

Editor’s note: This is part of a series about how county law enforcement officers in Maine escape accountability. Read the other stories here. The series was supported by the Pulitzer Center. In addition to producing vague or incomplete discipline records, many counties purge their law enforcement discipline records after periods of time negotiated with unions, complicating efforts to track misbehavior and resulting in varied treatment of officers depending on the county that employs them.
