Excellence in Training - Police Use of Force

Police use of force is rare.

Police use of excessive force is very rare.

Police use of deadly force is exceptionally rare.

Police use of force is often ugly.

Police use of force is almost always subject driven. The subject always has the choice to cooperate. If they choose not to then they are dictating that some level of force is needed to control them. The subject’s level of reistance or aggression will dictate the level of force needed to control them.

Police use of force is impacted by a multitude of factors including the officer’s training, experience, competence, confidence, and perception.

Police use of force is also influenced by factors such as size and strength differences between the subject and the officer, lighting, length of the struggle or fight, fatigue, drug or alcohol use by the subject, the subject’s possession of, use of or access to weapons, other people in the immediate area, lighting and other environmental factors.

Police use of force is influenced by time. Reaction time, time and distance, time to start and time to stop. Everything takes time.

Police use of force is always easy to second guess in the comfort of your own home.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to continue to educate people about the realities of police use of force.

Take care.
