Résumé
The goal of the report is to provide guidance to police
executives on how to ensure that force is used by police officers only when it is
justified and to guide the development of policies concerning the use of force.
Topics include training on the use of force, policy development and enforcement,
incident investigations, tools and tactics, and officer support. Articles by a
host of authors are embedded within each section and offer unique perspectives and
knowledge on the subject matter. While the particular use-of-force issues that
police executives will have to grapple with may change over time, the issue will
forever remain; it is hoped that this report will facilitate the sharing of
knowledge in this regard so that police professionals may learn from one another.
