Use of Force Monitoring Form

Transcription

1 Use of Force Monitoring Form A record is to be completed as soon as is practicable. A record is to be completed when an officer / member of police staff uses force on any person. If an officer / member of police staff uses force on more than one person, a new form will be completed for each person on whom force is used. Officers should complete their own constabulary s records even if force is used in another force area.
