Use of Force. 199. Quality training is essential for creating and maintaining a non-discriminatory, effective public safety system. Police departments teach and reinforce their organizational culture to officers during training by communicating expectations. Quality trainings also enable officers to implement policies effectively. During training, officers have an opportunity to learn tactics and skills in scenario-based, tactical settings so they have some experience before they are expected to do something similar in the field for the first time. During training, trainers also can reinforce how officers should interact with community members. 200. MPD’s pre-service and in-service training must provide officers with knowledge of policies and laws regulating the use of force; equip officers with tactics and skills, including de-escalation techniques, to prevent or reduce the need to use force or, when force must be used, to use force that is objectively reasonable, necessary, and proportional under the totality of the circumstances; and require appropriate supervision and accountability.
