In 2005, police chief Michael Meyers resigned[1] after members of the police union had taken a vote of no-confidence in him and his deputy, Arthur Burgess.[2]
The department was almost disbanded in early 2007 when the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department was asked to provide a contract for police services.[3]
In 2010, an employee of the Spearmint Rhino gentlemen's club filed a claim for $500,000 against the city of Rialto alleging that Rialto police officers had, while on-duty and off-duty, engaged in sexual relations with strip club employees at the Rialto Police Union hall.[4] The suit alleged that at times group sex between Rialto cops and Spearmint Rhino employees occurred at the union hall.[4] The plaintiff alleged that she was physically and verbally harassed by a former Rialto police officer when she learned that he had impregnated her.[4] Two officers resigned from the department in the wake of the scandal[5]
In 2011, Rialto police shot and killed a man who had been charging them with a brick.[6] Also in 2011, a Rialto policeman was indicted on federal bribery charges for accepting a $2500 bribe.[7] He was charged along with an Orange County lawyer for falsely claiming that a witness had "provided substantial assistance" to the DEA.[7]
