The use of force is dependent on a variety of factors and data can vary significantly from year to year as an officers force response is dictated by subject actions. However, the department data is in line with the expected trends nationally regarding police use of force, in that police use force in a small percentage of public contacts, and that when force is used it is typically at the lower end of the force spectrum.
