There are multiple tables and figures that were provided in Chapter 10 which is use of force. Table 10.1 on page 324, showed the number of police officers that have been killed accidentally while on the duty. Data from 2001 to 2010 has showed that over 400 police officers were killed in automobile accident which is the highest reason for officer’s death. The second highest was struck by vehicle with little over 100 death. Figure 10.2 discussed fairly new law that was law that was made in Florida that when an authorize vehicle with their light one approaching you, you must move immediately and open the road for an authorized vehicle. In Table 10.3 the author showed the number of law enforcement officers that are assaulted in 2010. The data showed

The table is showing that the most common type of force that is was used in 2005 is empty hand tactics with 18.64%. And least likely to be used civilians being shot and wounded or kills with .04 and .05%. In 2008 empty hand tactics has dropped to 11.87 however still remains the more commonly used force of force. Baton also dropped from .84% in 2005 to .47% in 2008. Another form of use that dropped more than others in chemical agents dropped from 6.88 to 2.27%. What I found to be interesting every form of force has changes at least slightly expect killing. The form of force has been consistent between four years with .05%.
Table 4 showed similar statistics from table three however it focused on individual level weighted data for type of force used. And again the highest force of force that has been used from 2005- 2008 was empty hand tactics. The least commonly used was use of deadly weapon. Also neck restraint seem be dropping as well as vehicle ramming which showed that in 207 none of the agencies have used that force of …show more content…
The data showed statistics from 2003 until 2008. The data showed that the complaints received from the citizens has remained very consistence through the 5 year’s period as well as the numbers are not very high with only 1.44 average complaints per year per agency. There could be different reasoning behind it either the citizens are agreed with the law enforcement actions or law enforcement typically doesn’t overuse their power. When it comes to complains from internally it also doesn’t have high numbers however the difference is that the numbers of complaints have been growing and almost tripled from 2003to 2008. Figure 2. Focuses on death numbers by the law enforcement. The graph shows that on average in 2008 there were .06 civilian death from an officer using deadly weapons. The number was the same in 2005 however it lowered to .04 in 2006 and 2007. The graph also showed the number of death using other forms of force. It showed that in 2003 and 2008 there were total of .01 death per year per agency and there were none in 2006. The numbers are very low showing that the death by using anything other than lethal force is very
