Question 4

5 221-03 Investigation of Use Of Force

               FORCE DEFINITIONS: Level 1- \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (5) Level 2-\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_(3) Level 3-\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_(1)

(TRI ASSESSMENT REPORT IS MADE FOR LEVEL 2 OR LEVEL 3 INJURIES ONLY AND IS NOT MADE BY SGT ON TEST DAY SO DONT WORRY ABOUT IT, JUST KNOW THAT “TRI ASSESSMENT REPORT” IS A WRONG STEP FOR A SGT ON TEST DAY)

TRI incident worksheet report is made whenever there is physical injury/death to anyone (civilian, non member) as result of police action. This dept form will be used to record all instances when:
-Force used against MOS, injuries or not OR
-Any level of force used by MOS, injuries or not OR
-Any level of force alleged/suspected, injuries or not
(So if someone comes in to the SH claiming we hit him and he has no injuries we still have to prepare a TRI!)
OR
-Discharge (INCLUDING ACCIDENTALS) of OC, CEW, gun, injuries or not (including FIRING AT ANIMALS) OR
-If a prisoner attempts or commits suicide
-Subject or any non-member sustains a PI or dies while in police custody

ONE INCIDENT = ONE NUMBER

(IF one incident contains multiple members using varying levels of force, the investigating supv responsible for the highest level of force used will conduct the entire investigation!)

However each involved MOS makes their own separate TRI, and each subject gets their own TRI.
(Each combination of cop and perp gets a TRI)

So, if two cops use OC on 3 perps then make _________ all with same number

Or, if 2 cops assaulted and 2 additional cops use force to make the arrest on one perp then make ______ TRI’s. ALL WITH SAME NUMBER.

However if 2 cops use OC or any type of force on 1 perp and those same 2 cops get injured in the process then make _______ because the fact that an officer was injured/assaulted during the same incident would be documented on the same TRI as the one documenting the force the officers used.

Answer 4

LEVEL 1:

• Hand/foot strike
• Forcible take down/wrestling subject to ground
• Use of mesh restraining blanket (NOT VELCRO STRAPS/poly carbonate shield)
• Use of OC spray
• Use of CEW in “cartridge mode”

LEVEL 2:

• Intentionally strike with an object
• K9 Bite
• CEW in “drive stun mode”

LEVEL 3:
-Use of physical force readily capable of causing DOA/SPI (discharge firearm)

6 TRI’s

4 TRI’s

2 TRI’s

Question 13

4 221-07 Use of OC Pepper spray

When on duty in uniform, carry OC in its holster, attached to non-shooting side of gun belt. MAY carry off duty.
Plainclothes enforcement WILL carry.
HOWEVER
Undercover members may opt not to carry the O.C. pepper spray

Pepper spray can be used when UMOS believes it is necessary to:

• Gain/Maintain control of persons who are actively resisting, or exhibiting active aggression
• Prevent individuals from physically injuring themselves
• Establish physical control of a subject attempting to flee from arrest or custody
• Establish physical control of EDP
• Control a dangerous animal by deterring an attack to prevent injuries to ppl/animals.
• (So OC spray can be used on EDP’s, animals, and to prevent ppl from injuring themselves)*

NO NEED TO SHAKE BEFORE USE. IT CAN BE SPRAYED AT ANY ANGLE.
It carries 10 one second bursts, replace it when_______________.
Advise offender that O.C will be used to handcuff/restrain BEFORE applying such force, if feasible.

UMOS should discharge ___squirts (1 second burst) from minimum of _______ away

We can use O.C at animal to deter an attack, or to prevent injury to person OR ANIMAL PRESENT

NEVER USE O.C ON _____________.
AVOID using OC on young child, pregnant woman, person w/ respiratory condition or in frail health. AVOID using in small contained area like cars and closets.
AVOID using in large area for crowd control. (Unless trained and directed by Supv)

Question 14

• 4* 221-07 Use of OC Pepper spray
• UMOS should arrest and charge with crime which initiated use of OC and add RESISTING ARREST, when appropriate OR release perp if it’s determined no crime committed OR EDP THEM. (If appropriate)

-Pepper spray does not dissipate for ______ so do not touch or rub the skin of a contaminated person!
-DO NOT use creams, ointments, commercial eye washes or bandages
-Remove the subject from the contaminated area and expose to fresh air while awaiting the arrival of EMS, or transportation to hospital/SH, IF TACTICALLY FEASIBLE (not absolute)
-Request EMS when situation appropriate, and flush with profuse amounts of water IF consistent with your safety AND water is readily available.
(Repeat flushing at short intervals, if necessary, until symptoms of distress reside)
(However if at SH then MUST flush contaminated skin with water)

• Transport immediately to ____________ IF they demonstrate difficultly breathing, severe stress, hyperventilation. (KEEP WINDOWS OF TRANSPORT VEHICLE OPEN)
• If wearing contact lenses it is strongly recommended to be removed to hospital ASAP.
• Position on side or sitting to promote free breathing (NEVER FACE DOWN!!)

(So we can transport them to hospital or SH)

-UMOS should notify _______ of O.C spray use.
In arrest situation, when OC used, UMOS should prepare ______ and __________.

• In non arrest situation prepare ________ and check box “O.C spray used” and enter time, docs name, and diagnoses in “details”
• D.O should ensure prisoners who have been sprayed with O.C. pepper spray receive appropriate first aid, if needed, upon arrival at SH
• D.O should ensure prisoners who have been sprayed with O.C. pepper spray are properly observed throughout the arrest process, and that they receive prompt medical attention if they need or request it.
• D.O should make ______stating whether the prisoner has had his/her SKIN flushed with water, been examined by EMS, or been transported to the hospital.

(O.C pepper spray will not automatically stop all subjects, and even when it does incapacitate, the effects are temporary. Members should therefore be ready to use other appropriate force options and tactics)
