THOUGHTS ON USE Of FORCE

摘要

THIS IS THE FINAL ARTICLE in my series on how law enforcement tactics and training have evolved and where police tactics and training are going. And I want to use this space to revisit a topic I addressed in the second article back in June, California's new law enforcement use-of-force law. When I first addressed the California legislation earlier this year, it appeared that the impending law was going to be detrimental to officer safety and increase officer liability in use-of-force incidents. But the final legislation that was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in August was very different than the original legislation and much more in line with federal law enforcement use-of-force law as established by the Supreme Court.
