SafeSport hired ex-police officer whose actions led to a $24M civil verdict against her department
- The U.S. Center for SafeSport hired former police officer Shannon Brukbacher in October 2025, one year after she retired amidst a malicious prosecution lawsuit that led to a $24 million verdict against her former department in Colorado.
- Brukbacher was sued by Robert Dial, who alleged she wrongfully arrested him on charges related to his son's fatal shooting; Dial won a $24 million verdict in May 2026, including damages for financial losses and pain and suffering.
- The Center had previously faced hiring controversies after firing another ex-police officer on criminal charges in 2024, which prompted stricter background checks, although Brukbacher was never criminally charged or flagged in the process.
