A grand jury has criticized the Kissimmee Police Department in Florida for fostering a "culture of non-reporting" related to misconduct following an investigation into excessive force by Officer Andrew Baseggio. He faces multiple charges, including felony battery, after a recorded incident involving a man in crisis. The investigation revealed that other officers failed to report the excessive force. In response, the department's leadership has changed, with ongoing efforts to improve accountability and transparency.
