Use of Force

Officers can use force as a response to an event or incident in order to protect life, preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order and apprehend suspects. When an incident occurs and an officer uses a force option, a “Use of Force” report must be completed.

The Chief is required to report to the Board annually on the Use of Force.
