DATASET DESCRIPTION
This dataset contains offense incidents where any physical contact with a subject was made by an officer using the body or any object, device, or weapon, not including un-resisted escorting or handcuffing a subject. Any complaint by a subject that an officer caused pain or injury shall be treated as a use of force incident, except complaints of minor discomfort from un-resisted handcuffing.

A response to resistance report is measured as a single subject officer interaction on a single case. A subject resistance may result in multiple types of force applied by an officer or multiple officers. Accordingly, the types of force used can be more than the total reports of response to resistance.

GENERAL ORDERS RELATING TO THIS DATA
It is the policy of this department that officers use only that amount of objectively reasonable force which appears necessary under the circumstances to successfully accomplish the legitimate law enforcement purpose in accordance with this policy.
