5 <br /> <br />On 12/31/3017 at noon, officers responded to the 500 block of 3rd Avenue NW on the <br />report of a female that had just flagged down the caller and said to call 911, but did not <br />give any further information. The female was holding a large 6-8” knife and was only <br />wearing a nightgown. When officers arrived they observed the male chasing the female <br />through front yards and then he tackled the female into the snow. They were observed <br />fighting over the large knife. Officers used verbal commands and pointed a Taser in the <br />direction of the male who was on top of the female. He was taken into custody without <br />further incident. It was determined that the male had physically assaulted the female and <br />she had grabbed a knife in self-defense. The male was booked into the Ramsey County <br />Jail on charges of 5th Degree Domestic Assault. <br /> <br />II. USE OF FORCE BY POLICE OFFICERS <br /> <br />It is the policy of the New Brighton Department of Public Safety that officers exert no <br />more force than is reasonably necessary in the discharge of their licensed duty, and that <br />the use of deadly force is consistent with the law, training and our general orders. <br /> <br />This section contains summary data of the use of force used by our police officers. A <br />Police Use of Force Report is completed by officers each time force or restraint is used in <br />the performance of their duties. This does not include the use of handcuffs during an <br />arrest or detention situation. Each Police Use of Force Report is reviewed by patrol <br />supervisors to ensure compliance with New Brighton’s Use of Force Policy. <br /> <br />YEAR MONTH YEAR TO DATE <br />2017 4 48 <br />2016 0 35 <br />2015 3 70 <br />2014 3 73 <br />2013 5 51 <br /> <br /> <br />III.
