Kelsay and Sgt. D. Brotherton. For the review of submitted reports in July, 17 Officers were involved in 10 separate incidents requiring use of force involving 10 individuals. In August, 36 Officers were involved in 17separate incidents requiring use of force involving 17 individuals. 39 Officers were involved in 22 separate incidents requiring use of force in September. These incidents involved 21 individuals. All issues or concerns were identified and addressed at previous levels of review, Officers are reminded that the narrative should be brief and only document force used. They should not cut and paste from the incident's narrative section. As a further clarification on the documentation of injuries, officers should note in the narrative where on the body the injury was located and that the injury was documented with a photograph. If an officer is completing a report for the destruction on an animal the suspect injury section should be left blank. Pre- existing injuries or injuries not related to the use of force should be noted in the narrative. Of the incidents reviewed over the three month period, a Taser was discharged on five occasions, and on two occasions a Taser was displayed which resulted in compliance without deployment. One of the Taser discharges was utilized on an aggressive dog. There was one SRT call out where chemical agent was deployed to remove a barricaded subject from the residence. In one incident an officer utilized his OC spray. In one incident an officer fired one shot to destroy an injured animal. Of the 49 incidents reviewed, 16 suspects and 11 Officers sustained superficial injuries as a result of the use of force. Please contact me if you have any questions.
