DATE: December 10, 2002
TO: Chief Winkelhake
Ali Commanders
FROM: Captain Widmer
SUBJECT: September & October Use of Force Review
The bi-monthly "Use of Force Review Committee met on December 6, 2002. It was
composed of the following personnel;
Captain Widmer
Sgt. Brotberton
Sgt. Hurd
Sgt. Krei
The review o f the submitted reports for September ( 18 incidents-25 reports) and October
(36 incidents-29 reports) revealed one policy clarification and one training concern.
Included with these incidents are four animal destruction.
As a matter of policy clarification, in incidents where more than one officer draws their
firearm (felony traffic stop, subject with a weapon) and no hands-on occurs, only one Use
of Force Report needs to be filled out listing all officers involved. Drawn weapon only
may be handled in the same way building search and SRT incidents are documented,
As a part of training, insure officers are familiar with the recommended projectile
placement when using their firearms to destroy injured animals. See Sgt. Hurd if you need
the prior watch training on destroying animals. It appears that some of the new officers
may need some training in this area.
Needing to be repeated this report, the use of force report is to be short, but enough
information must be given so that the reports can stand alone in just'flying the force used.
Encourage officers to ensure this is being done.
