  • Use of Force
    Policy Tualatin Police Department ••• Policy Manual Use of Force 300.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE This policy recognizes that the use of force by law enforcement requires constant evaluation. Even at its lowest level, the use of force is a serious responsibility. The purpose of this policy is to provide officers of this department with guidelines on the reasonable use of force. While there is no way to specify the exact amount or type of reasonable force to be applied in any situation, each officer is expected to use these guidelines to make such decisions in a professional, impartial and reasonable manner. 300.1.1 PHILOSOPHY The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied human encounters and when warranted, may use force in carrying out their duties. Officers must have an understanding of, and true appreciation for, the limitations of their authority. This is especially true with respect to officers overcoming resistance while engaged in the performance of their duties. The Department recognizes and respects the value of all human life and dignity without prejudice to anyone. It is also understood that vesting officers with the authority to use reasonable force and protect the public welfare requires a careful balancing of all human interests. 300.1.2 DUTY TO INTERCEDE Any officer present and observing another officer using force that is clearly beyond that which is objectively reasonable under the circumstances shall, when in a position to do so, intercede to prevent the use of such excessive force.

  • Two Years Ago, Found Was Steve Mcqueen's Iconic 1968 Ford Mustang GT
    Two years ago, found was Steve McQueen's iconic 1968 Ford Mustang GT. Only traces of its original highland green paint job remained as it had sat unnoticed in a backyard in Mexico for years. Collectors had been searching for it for decades. Of course, this is not just any old '68 Stang. This was one of the original cars used in the classic Steve McQueen film "Bullitt," a film that defined "cool" for a generation of Americans. McQueen was Hollywood's "King of Cool" for a reason. In his role as the detective Frank Bullitt, he literally flies his car through the streets of San Francisco in what is regarded by many as the greatest car chase scene in cinematic history. Steve McQueen was not cool because he drove the Bullitt car. The Bullitt car was cool because Steve McQueen drove it. At the time, Steve McQueen was the number-one movie star in the world, and he is still used as a point of reference for masculinity and "coolness" to this day. He was (and is) the definition of an American icon. Yet, until late in his life he struggled to find meaning in life, and he suffered because of it. It might have been because he was born into a home of an alcoholic mother and a father that left him early in life, but eventually he found himself on the wrong side of the law more than once. He was arrested several times as a teen and sent to truancy homes for rebellious kids. He served in the Marine Corps, where he demonstrated both valor and rebellion.

  • The Image of Police Officer As Emerging from Road Movies and Road Lingo
    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 51/2008 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 5 Grzegorz A. KLEPARSKI, Magorzata MARTYNUSKA THE IMAGE OF POLICE OFFICER AS EMERGING FROM ROAD MOVIES AND ROAD LINGO Road movies: The roots of the genre American society holds many things to be dear – indeed one might say that, becoming to such a heterogenous notion these notions are equally varied. However, one might define a number of values which are commonly held to be of great importance to America as a whole, such as mobility, independence, fairness, individualism, freedom, determination and courage. These values are best encapsulated in the film genre known as ‘road movies’, through which Hollywood has sought to celebrate the very nature of Americanness. The purpose set to the pages that follow is to outline the concept of freedom as the guiding force of the characters in the road movies and – in particular – the role and the concept of POLICE OFFICER who either turns out to be a constraint on freedom or – on rare occasions – its facilitator. The second part of the paper concerns the trucker language, and – more specifically – the picture of the POLICE OFFICER in the language of CB radio. In particular, we shall analyse the linguistic mechanisms involved in shaping the concept discussed; that is the working of the devices of zoosemy and metonymy. From the very outset, it can be observed that right from the very origins of settlement in the New World, the first Americans were always connected – in some way – with the road and the concept of travelling.1 The early settlers were pioneers wandering westwards; crossing wide stretches of land, constantly on the move in search of a place to live.

  • Pursuits Liability in Law Enforcement Operations Presented by Public Agency Training Council
    Pursuits Liability in Law Enforcement Operations Presented By Public Agency Training Council FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin “Perhaps the most compelling, ongoing, and logical reason for law enforcement’s continued interest in high-speed vehicle pursuits has been its concern in balancing the values of crime control and offender apprehension with ensuring the safety of all parties who potentially might be involved – police officers, suspects, victims, bystanders, and the community” This balancing test has formed the cornerstone of pursuit policies, training, and practice for the past several decades. Police Pursuits Police Pursuits provide some frightening statistics: - The majority of police pursuits involve a stop for a traffic violation - On average one person dies every day as a result of a police pursuit - Innocent third parties, constituted 42% of persons killed or injured in police pursuits - 1 out of every 100 high-speed pursuits = fatality Officer Goals - To apprehend and arrest the suspect - When Officer initiates an enforcement stop, the suspect if he flees, initiates a pursuit - Officer must now respond with a balanced and reasonable approach, while the suspect has no rules - Officer must take into account personal capabilities, environmental conditions, - risks created by suspects driving/ bystanders Risk/ Benefit Analysis Ultimately the Officer must balance the goals of law enforcement (Necessity of continuing the pursuit, capturing the suspect) with the public’s overall safety Officer Response to Suspect’s Refusal to Stop The need “To Win” via making the arrest can be influenced by the adrenaline rush – which may negatively impact an officer’s vision, hearing, motor skills, and decision making.

  • Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy
    Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy 1. Ban on chokeholds- All NVCJA member agencies currently forbid any and all types of chokeholds. To our knowledge, this has been the case for over 20 years. It makes perfect sense to suggest that use of a chokehold by police, when a lesser force option is available, could prevent death or serious injury. In a deadly force situation, an officer is permitted to use any weapon or technique, including a gun, a brick, a chokehold, or any other option to stop the threat to life presented by the perpetrator. Whether an officer is trained to use a chokehold technique is irrelevant when involved in a deadly force situation. Bottom line, when deadly force is justified by an officer, it does not matter what force is used or what type of weapon is used. It is the totality of the circumstances that decides reasonableness. Again, having said that, we do not teach any chokehold technique at the Academy. 2. Require de-escalation training- The NVCJA presently provides over 40 hours of classroom training in the areas of Interpersonal Communications, Bias awareness, interaction with specialty groups (Emotionally Disturbed, Autism, Deaf, Handicapped, etc.), community interaction, mitigation, negotiation, and ethics. It is stressed that the most powerful tool officers have is their ability to communicate. The various force options are to be utilized in conjunction with, not in place of, communication skills when the situation dictates the need for force to gain control. Control is obtained in order to allow for facilitation of a long-term remedy.

I. BACKGROUND AND LOWER COURT DECISIONS 2 A prelude to Scott was the Court’s decision in Brosseau v. Haugen. † Professor of Law, Suffolk University Law School.

  • Use of Force
    Use of Force I. DEFINITIONS A. Force – physical power or coercion used upon, or directed toward, another person. 1. Neither force nor excessive force requires actual physical contact (pointing guns, making commands, threatened K-9 release, confinement, etc.). 2. All involve issues of force and reasonableness. B. Deadly force – defined as “any application of force that in the manner of its use or intended use creates a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily injury”. II. FOUR (4) REASONS OFFICERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO USE FORCE: A. For self-defense. B. In defense of others. C. For arrest/detention. D. To prevent escape. E. Use of force: Graham (suspect) v. Connor (officer), 490 U.S. 386, 109 S. Ct. 1865 (1989): The Supreme Court looks at allegations of excessive force in light of the 4th Amendment and not the 14th Amendment as was initially done. The Supreme Court looks at whether the officer’s actions are objectively reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances at the time of the situation. Facts of the case: On November 12, 1984, Dethorne Graham, a diabetic, went into a convenience store, but ran out because it was overcrowded. The officer thought Graham’s conduct was suspicious and stopped the car. Graham told the officer he was a diabetic and then ran around the car, was cuffed, hit his head on the car and officers did not listen to him or check his wallet or medical identification or allow him to drink orange juice. Injuries included: A broken foot, bruised head, cut wrist, injured shoulder and damaged ear.
