Background The Chandler Police Department recognizes the current Arizona statutory law dictating that “no unnecessary or unreasonable force shall be used in making an arrest, and the person arrested shall not be subjected to any greater restraint than necessary for his detention." The Chandler Police Department stipulates that officers must adhere to their training unless the situation justifies a deviation from that training.” The Chandler Police Department began to utilize the Use of Force Review Board in 2008 to ensure the proper documentation of all applications of force, to evaluate those applications for adherence to established policy, and to determine any additional training needs.2 The board meets monthly to evaluate the prior month’s incidents, and quarterly reviews are prepared to share information and findings with the Citizen Review Panel. This analysis contains use of force statistics for the second quarter of 2022 to identify prevalent trends or deficiencies per the current CALEA standard.’ In addition to an internal comparative analysis, this report will illustrate training issues that have emerged throughout the quarter, as well as the number and general nature of injuries sustained by personnel and suspects. 2022 Second Quarter Review The Chandler Police Department logged 2118 arrests during the second quarter of 2022, averaging approximately twenty-three (23) arrests per day. The second quarter of 2022 yielded a total of twenty-four (24) incidents resulting in a use of force by Chandler Police Officers to effect an arrest or detain a subject under reasonable suspicion or probable cause. All reportable incidents were reviewed by the Use of Force Review Board, This board meets monthly to determine if the applications of force are justified in accordance with the policies of the Chandler Police Department. The following tables document the twenty-four (24) incidents reviewed by the board for the months of April, May, and June of 2022. It includes the types of force used and dispositions. In some incidents there were multiple applications of force used by various officers. For this reason, there were eighty-nine (89) distinct applications of force.

Injuries In the second quarter of 2022, five (5) officers were injured during use of force incidents, The injuries sustained by officers were mostly minor in nature, generally consisting of sprains, abrasions, cuts, or bruising. Most of the officers’ injuries appeared to stem from body-to-body contact, takedown techniques, and struggling to handcuff suspects on hard surfaces or from direct assaults on the officers themselves. Twenty-three (23) suspects were injured or complained of injury during the use of force incidents. Most of these injuries were minor in nature, consisting of lacerations, abrasions, contusions, complaints of pain, and CEW puncture wounds. The officer, the suspect, or both received medical attention in the use of force incidents with injury when requested. Medical treatment was either provided on scene or at a hospital for more extensive care or evaluation. Total Injuries When Force Used Second Quarter 2022 Emotionally Disturbed/Impaired Eighteen (18) subjects involved in use of force incidents were found to be emotionally disturbed, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or a combination of impairments. Conclusion The reported types of use of force incidents during the second quarter of 2022 indicate officers used the appropriate level of force to effect the arrest of suspects. This illustrates that the use of force policy, defensive tactics training, board reviews, and overall departmental philosophy are aligned with established case law, statutory regulations, and the principles of community-oriented policing.
