AJS/586: PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES
Policing Policies Analysis
Law enforcement agencies and agents are crafted to shield the community and
individual’s rights and property. This type of career can be incredibly challenging; though, there
are rewarding times as well. There are times when the agents may be put in harm’s way and
therefore, they may have to use force, especially in a split-second circumstance. Even though
force may have to be used, agents should always conduct these tactics with a higher code of
accountability and competency. When discussing the use-of-force policy, it is imperative to
describe the policy and discuss how the police policy was created (University of Phoenix, 2021).
It is also critical to discuss the key actors involved in making the use-of-force policy, provide
examples of the policy in use, and finally, define if the policy was effective or ineffective
throughout history (University of Phoenix, 2021).
Describe the selected police policy
Unfortunately, the use-of-force policy has always been a touchy issue throughout law
enforcement agencies across the nation (Power DMS, 2020). “The International Association of
Chiefs of Police has described use-of-force as ‘the amount of effort required by police to compel
compliance by an unwilling subject (Power DMS, 2020, para. 2).’” There are different levels of
use-of-force. It can range anywhere from physical restraint to deadly force, depending on the
situation (Power DMS, 2020). A good use-of-force policy will keep not only officers safe but the
community safe as well. “Effective policy can also build trust between your department and the
people you serve (Power DMS, 2020).”
, This policy is extremely important. A good policy keeps officers safe. Each law
enforcement agency has the duty to keep officers safe and give them the proper information and
training to ensure their job is done correctly, each time they go out on patrol (Power DMS,
2020). The use-of-force policy gives officers different tactics to ensure the diffusion of situations
before they get too bad.
The use-of-force policy also helps build trust throughout the community and keeps
civilians safe (Power DMS, 2020). Both factors are essential because a good communication
standard between officers and the community can help keep everyone safe (Power DMS, 2020).
The rapport is crucial to ensure the community continues to get the best from the agencies, and
the agents know that they will be safe coming home every night. This policy also reduces the
risks of liability (Power DMS, 2020). If officers are following the policy and the use-of-force
continuum, then officers will not have to suffer significant repercussions and no one in the
community will be injured (Power DMS, 2020). Lastly, the actions of the officer can be justified
if the case goes to court for police brutality (Power DMS, 2020). When discussing the use-of-
force policy, it is imperative to discuss how the policy was created.
Discuss how the police policy was created.
The Use-of-Force policy was established in the mid-80s after the Tennessee versus
Garner case. This case happened in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1985. After almost ten years, the
Supreme Court ruled that the use-of-force may be relevant in the deterrence of an escapee. This
would only be if the officer has probable cause that the escapee is of the attitude that he/she is a
direct threat to the community of the officer (Police Use of Force: An Examination of Modern
Policing Practices, 2018). Unfortunately, this only happened after two officers, Leslie Wright
and Elton Hymon, responded to an incident that occurred on October 3, 1974 (Power DMS,
2020). Officer Hymon crossed the path of Edward Garner and fatally shot Garner after he failed
to stop (Power DMS, 2020). Unfortunately, Garner was feeling the scene, but Officer Hymon did
