USE OF FORCE BY POLICE OFFICERS <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 />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 />It is interesting to note that August 2015 is the first month since we began formally <br />tracking Use of Force reports two decades ago that we had 0 (zero) uses of force. <br />YEAR <br />MONTH <br />YEAR TO DATE <br />2015 <br />0 <br />21 <br />2014 <br />3 <br />45 <br />2013 <br />5 <br />49 <br />2012 <br />10 <br />41 <br />2011 <br />6 <br />41 <br />
