Former Police Officer Sentenced to Six Years in Prison for Civil Rights Violation Details Written by Justice Department St. Paul, Minnesota - A former officer with the St. Paul Police Department in St. Paul, Minnesota, was sentenced Friday to six years in prison after a jury found him guilty of a civil rights violation. Brett Palkowitsch, 31, was sentenced on May 21 after being found guilty of using excessive force against an unarmed civilian. At the sentencing hearing, Palkowitsch waived the right to appeal his conviction and publicly apologized for his use of excessive force. “Instead of lawfully carrying out his critical public safety responsibilities, Palkowitsch abused his authority by using excessive force,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Pamela S. Karlan of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “The Justice Department will continue to vigorously prosecute officers who engage in criminal misconduct.”
