Summary

"In short, this report attempts to move policing to a higher standard when it comes to how and when officers use force in situations where they and the public are not threatened with firearms. By adopting the Guiding Principles and other approaches presented in this report, police agencies can make policing safer for officers and the public they serve—and, in the process, restore public trust and advance as a profession."--Pages 5-6.
