Edged weapons

Blunt trauma instruments

Front 2

The three elements of force that determine the justification for reasonable force and, to a lesser extent, the type of force an officer will employ are:

Back 2

Ability, opportunity, Jeopardy

Front 3

Excessive Force

Back 3

Any application of force which, either by extent or type exceeds that Force which is reasonable under the circumstances. If an officer uses lethal force in a situation that is not owned Ashley, that would be an example of excessive force, as it is the wrong type of force. If an officer uses 25 baton strikes on a subject when the subject had been complaint after the second strike that would be an example of an excessive force due to the extent of force used.

The court will view the amount of force used by you in the light of particular circumstances which were to be achieved. Your department should not hold the same "reasonable officer" standards for us does the court.
