Force cases are now categorized by three levels. If a case involves multiple applications of force, it is categorized as the
most serious at the case level. These counts are not considered final as investigations are continuously updated.
Level 1 is force that is likely to cause only transitory pain, disorientation, or discomfort during its application as a means of gaining compliance. This
includes techniques which are not reasonably expected to cause injury, do not result in actual injury, and are not likely to result in a complaint of injury
(i.e., pain compliance techniques and resisted handcuffing). Pointing a firearm, beanbag shotgun, or 40 millimeter launcher at a subject, or using an ECW
to “paint” a subject with the laser sight, as a show of force are reportable as Level 1 force. Level 1 force does not include interaction meant to guide, assist,
or control a subject who is offering minimal resistance.
Level 2 is force that causes injury, could reasonably be expected to cause injury, or results in a complaint of injury. Level 2 force includes use of an ECW,
including where an ECW is fired at a subject but misses; use of a beanbag shotgun or 40 millimeter launcher, including where it is fired at a subject but
misses; OC Spray application; empty hand techniques (i.e., strikes, kicks, takedowns, distraction techniques, or leg sweeps); and strikes with impact
weapons, except strikes to the head, neck, or throat, which would be considered a Level 3 use of force.
Level 3 is force that results in, or could reasonably result in, serious physical injury, hospitalization, or death. Level 3 force includes all lethal force; critical
firearms discharges; all head, neck, and throat strikes with an object; neck holds; canine bites; three or more uses of an ECW on an individual during a
single interaction regardless of mode or duration or an ECW application for longer than 15 seconds, whether continuous or consecutive; four or more
strikes with a baton; any strike, blow, kick, ECW application, or similar use of force against a handcuffed subject; and uses of force resulting in a loss of
consciousness.

DID YOU KNOW?
1970: DUI unit was formed. This would be the first in the nation. The DWI exhibit features a suitcase-size Intoxilyzer 5000, with a calibration chamber, which I hope none of you are familiar with on a personal basis. Most police equipment, like everything else, keeps getting smaller.
1978: 1st B.A.T Mobile was purchased for use by the DWI squad. Became operational April 1979 and took at least 6 months to make procedural modifications and to complete the training of squad members. By December, when the squad could be considered fully operational, substantial increases in arrests were observed. The December total of 575 arrests is substantially higher than the arrests for the three previous Decembers. 1976-319; 1977-496; 1978-357; 1979-575; 1980-741 The first B.A.T Mobile was driven to a location where and officer had stopped a suspected impaired driver. Before the B.A.T. Mobile squad was instituted, the average time required for an arrest was 2 hours and 20 minutes. After the establishment of the unit a patrol officer could be back on patrol after approximately 20-25 minutes. In June 1981 a second B.A.T. Mobile was purchased. This one was used in setting up DUI check points.
