What is the order in the TPM (10.7) regarding use of firearms
Where police officers use of firearms is warranted, members should, if possible without adding undue risk to those under threat:
identify themselves as police;
give a clear verbal warning of their intent to use firearms, but fire no warning shots; and
ensure there is sufficient time for the warning to be acted on before using the firearm, unless it would:
- unduly place the officer at risk;
- create a risk of death or serious harm to other persons; or
- be clearly inappropriate or pointless in the circumstances.
What is reasonable force
minimal and necessary
lawful and justifiable
Members are justified in using reasonable force in defence of themselves or any other person. Members must only use force that is reasonable, necessary, proportionate and appropriate to the circumstances.
