Use of Force
Law enforcement officers in the United States are mandated by the citizens they serve, with a broad variety of functions to include fighting crime, maintaining order, providing service to others, solving community problems and where necessary dispensing of force. Arguably the most defining characteristic of police work is an officers ability to use force when enforcing the law.
While occurrences of this nature may be rare, relative to the overall number of interactions between citizens and the police, incidents involving use of force occur daily in towns and cities throughout the country.
