The assessment

TCF scoreNRComposite withheld

Evidence coverage0%0 of 10 standards

Public sentimentNR51 reviewed; 0 eligible

TCF score and stamp are NR. No complete operational sample supports a fixed 0–4 anchor. The composite fails the 70% weighted coverage and 50% core-category gates; a sourced operational frame, routine record review and three sufficiently documented incidents or a broad audit are also missing. Public sentiment is NR: 51 visible records reviewed in one incomplete Reddit discussion, 49 excluded and 2 held, with 0 eligible entries. Exact dates and department-specific scope were not established.

DEPARTMENT RECORD. No assessable rubric weight; all 10 standards remain Unknown. Zero coverage is not a failing grade or an absence of research. The county jail is a separate institution.

Court decision · 2026-03-23

Rogers defendants dismissed in Warnick medical-care case

The court considered the pleadings and referenced body-camera evidence and found no medical-care constitutional violation by Rogers officers Riley McCarver and Kaden Dickson in the February 4, 2025 contact. It granted qualified immunity and dismissed the Rogers defendants, including the city claim and outrage claim. This includes a favorable merits determination on the medical-care issue. The county and sheriff's pleading motion was denied; that did not establish their liability. Scope: Rogers defendants and defined claims only. TCF did not independently view the complete body-camera recording. Later appeal/status not verified.

Agency statement · Undated; reviewed 2026-10-10

Published complaint intake and response process

Rogers publishes several complaint routes, accepts anonymous complaints, describes supervisor or internal-affairs investigation, and states a general 45-day written notification target. No complete complaint register, closed investigative files or measured compliance with that target was reviewed. Scope: Published process; actual implementation and outcomes unverified.

Licensing decision · 2025-07-08/09

CLEST voted to proceed to a hearing; final outcome unverified

The July 8-9 minutes record Rogers requesting decertification of former Officer Guadalupe Rodriguez. The commission voted to proceed to a decertification hearing. This procedural referral is not a final decertification or sustained misconduct finding. Targeted follow-up searches did not establish the later disposition. Scope: Former officer named in minutes; no adverse finding attributed to current personnel or to the department.

Agency statement · 2026-08-18

Dated public update on an active shooting investigation

Rogers issued an update about an August 17 East Southern Trace Drive shooting and described consultation with the Benton County prosecutor. This is evidence that an agency public update was issued. The underlying investigation, response performance and final outcome were not independently reviewed. Scope: RPD case 2026-4377; this release is not an officer-involved shooting adjudication.

Court decision · 2026-06-04

Later county case stay located; current status unresolved

A later reproduced court order granted intervention and stayed the remaining county case pending a final state probate order. It does not reinstate the Rogers defendants or establish county liability. No later docket resolution or appeal was verified in this review. Scope: Remaining county litigation; described as a dated order, not necessarily the current case status.

Licensing decision · 2025-07-08/09

Training extension approved

CLEST minutes approve a Rule 1002 extension requested by Rogers for Jonathan Castaneda. The approval does not establish eventual training completion and is not itself a failure finding. Scope: One named training-extension request; not a workforce completion audit.

Agency statement · 2026-06-11

CLEST tabled a Rogers agenda item for more information

DPS's distributed June hearing summary lists the James Templin / Rogers Police Department agenda request among those tabled to obtain further information. The summary does not report a final adverse finding. Later status was not verified. Scope: Procedural agenda status in a state agency release.

Accreditation · 2024-11-20

Historical accreditation claim outside the review window

The city police page reports its fifth CALEA award on November 20, 2024. This predates the review window; the underlying assessment and current compliance were not independently examined. Scope: Agency-reported historical context; no conduct points awarded.

Scope and evidence gaps

Review cutoff is October 9, 2026; draft and retrieval date October 10, 2026. Public-web discovery is not an exhaustive personnel, lawsuit or incident search. All ten Method 3.0 standards are Unknown. Zero weighted scoring coverage is not a failing score or an absence of research. The narrow favorable court holding remains prominent without being expanded to all custody/force duties. No complete operational sampling frame, complaint/force outcome register, actual records-response log, roster-linked training completion or supervisory review sample was obtained. Later Warnick docket/appeal status and final CLEST outcomes remain unverified. The county jail is a separate institution; its alleged conduct is not attributed to Rogers Police. The 2026 adopted police budget and current filled/authorized/reserve staffing remain unverified. FBI 2026 crime totals cover only January-April; missing months are not zero. Public sentiment is NR. Only one accessible, incomplete Reddit discussion was reviewed; exact dates and department-specific scope prevented any eligible entry. Other platform access/discovery gaps are documented. No agency records request or response invitation was sent. Published public statements are not a response to TCF. This is an editorial pilot, not a validated measurement or official agency grade.
