The police officer currently on administrative leave for his involvement in Tyreek Hill’s traffic stop has been the subject of several prior complaints concerning the use of force and inappropriate behavior. This information was revealed in personnel records shared with YSL News Sports on Friday.

Danny Torres, the officer who aggressively removed Hill from his vehicle on Sunday morning, has faced suspensions six times throughout his nearly 28-year career with the Miami-Dade Police Department, along with four written reprimands—one of which was later canceled.

The specifics of the incidents leading to these disciplinary actions are not detailed in the seven-page employment profile released in response to a public-records request.

Despite the issues, Torres has received formal commendations at least 32 times, including a recent acknowledgment in 2023 for his professional conduct and commitment to duty.

Torres is being scrutinized for his actions during Hill’s detainment, which involved forcibly taking the Miami Dolphins wide receiver out of his car, putting him on the ground, and handcuffing him for approximately 15 minutes. Hill, now 30, received traffic tickets for reckless driving and failure to wear a seatbelt and is contesting these charges.

Miami-Dade police director Stephanie Daniels stated earlier this week that Torres has been reassigned to administrative duties while an internal investigation into the traffic stop is conducted. While Torres’ attorney has called for his reinstatement, Hill and his associates are demanding Torres’s dismissal.

“He needs to be fired,” Hill emphasized at a press conference on Wednesday.

Torres, who joined the force in October 1996, earns nearly $123,000 annually, as noted in county records. Over his 27-plus years, he has dealt with six complaints concerning discourteous behavior, excessive force, procedural errors, and inappropriate conduct. In three cases from 2014 to 2018, some or all allegations were upheld, while he was cleared in the remaining cases.

His latest suspension was in June 2019 for a period of 10 days, and he was previously suspended for 20 days in 2018, though the reasons behind these disciplinary measures are not immediately clear.

The Miami New Times reported that Torres has interests outside of work, including motorcycling and DJing. He also serves on the board of directors for the local police union, the South Florida Police Benevolent Association. A Facebook post from the organization indicated that Torres spent a month in a coma in late 2020 following an on-duty car accident.
