On April 27, 2018 at approximately 2311 hours, I was traveling east on Richey DR, stopped at the traffic light at US HWY 19 in Port Richey, FL. I observed a B/M walk into the parking lot of Ocean Honda located at 8442 US HWY 19 Port Richey, FL. Ocean Honda was a closed business and had closed at approximately 2000 hours. The B/M appeared to be looking into cars on the car lot. There is a sidewalk running alongside the business and there was no apparent reason for the B/M to be walking through the car lot. As I was driving by the B/M looked in my direction and started walking south through the parking lot. I maneuvered my patrol vehicle into the parking lot of Ocean Honda and observed the B/M walking into the parking lot of the Walgreens located at 8400 US HWY 19 Port Richey, FL. The Walgreens had been closed since 2200 hours. There …show more content…
The B/M continued to attempt to strike me and I clenched on to him an attempt to protect myself, while preventing him from escaping. As I was holding onto the B/M I was unable to reach my radio to request additional units. Officer D. Peal (9003) arrived on scene and assisted me in attempting to place the B/M into handcuffs. The B/M continued to ignore lawful commands and refused to place his hands behind his back after being given several lawful commands. I delivered a strike to the B/M’s midsection in an attempt to gain compliance, however the strike did not appear to have an effect. The B/M continued to ignore lawful commands and I warned him I was going to deploy chemical spray. The B/M continued to resist and would not comply, in response I provided another warning and then deployed a three to five second burst of my department issued MK-2 OC chemical spray to the B/M’s face. After the chemical spray was deployed, he was placed in handcuffs without further incident. The B/M was identified by his Florida driver’s license Emanuel

After verbally abusing the staff for a few minutes he then threatened to kill me, Officer Parks B2611, if I opened the holding tank door. He then threatened to kill me when he gets released stating he knows how to find me and will shoot me after he gets out. After threatening me he began to threaten to kill the other staff when he gets released to include Officers Hussein B2725, Roybal B2934, Lockridge B1231, Remillard B2942 and Mora B3172. He stated several times that he was "Gonna pop us when I gets out."
Use of Electronic Control Devices (ECD’s) such as the widely used taser X26 at the discretion of police officers can be a very useful tool in order to temporarily disable and obtain custody of a non-compliant suspect. When used appropriately it can even reduce the risk of a suspect physically harming the officer, himself or others through temporary physical incapacitation. However these devices need not be used unnecessarily, and officers who do employ their use liberally and without just cause should not go without appropriate disciplinary measures proportionate to the magnitude of the situation. I would like to shed light on a few examples of ECD use where officer discretion have come under scrutiny.
Law enforcement officers are in constant dangerous situations while out doing their responsibilities. When in these threatening situations, police officers typically have little to no time to determine the right precaution. These precautions may lead to the death of a suspect or even the officer themselves. The media has recently shed light on police brutality with use of force. Use of force could be defined as the amount of effort an officer must use in order to make an unwilling subject compel. Police officers are usually trained to enable the proper responsible to a dangerous situation they may be put in. In this paper I will go through the guidelines that a police officer must obey when considering a certain degree of use of force. Within each guideline there will be the pro and cons with that situation and also a recent case that happened. This paper will also talk about how this topic can be addressed more properly. These guidelines that officer are taught during their training are called Use of Force Continuum.

[list] We started our patrol from 54th station, where we responded to Traffic Collision, a hit and run situation. Officer Fraser was driving and handling the radio, he did overall great with the response as we were responding code-3 due to the fact that there were reported injuries. Upon arrival, two officers were helping the passanger of wreck out of the car, where we began setting up traffic control with cones. After the scene was secured, I let officer Fraser take care of the statment from the female driver, which he nailed it. He asked all the questions I would've asked and did overall great with the statment, he then checked the CCTV to check the driver who performed Hit and Run. Officer Fraser then proceeded to put up a departmental BOLO
Throughout this report you will read of different observations from a visit to the Aqua Restaurant at the Canoe location. You will go through different types of safety regulations that need to be practiced in the preparation, storage, and handling of food.

We will also compare these observations to the LA County restaurant grading ordinance.
Police use of force can be described as being the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject.”(nij.gov, p.1) The stages of force police use are simple verbal and physical restraint, less lethal force and lethal force. Police officers are encouraged to use only enough force necessary to control a situation, arrest the person, or protect themselves or others from harm (p.1). When a situation begins to spiral out of control for the police officers, the next level should be used in order to gain control.
Was the intrusion based on a lawful objective, such as a valid arrest, detention, search, frisk, community warden guardian of mentally ill, defense of an officer or a citizen, or to prevent escape? If these answer yes then an officer may have legal ability to use the levels of force listed below to apprehend the suspect. Another list of things to consider when determining if it was a lawful use of force is; was the use of force relative to the person’s confrontation? Was there a crucial need to terminate the condition? Even though there is no duty to retreat, could the officer have used lesser force and still safely accomplish the lawful objective? These are the questions that the jury need to answer to determine if they should side with or against the officer in any court case brought to them that deals with such a controversial topic as this.
A '''use of force continuum''' is a standard that affords law enforcement officials & security officers (police, probation, or corrections) with guidelines as to how much use of force may be used against a repelling subject in a given situation. In certain ways it is similar to the military’s escalation of force. The reason of these models is to clarify, both for officers and citizens, the complex subject of use of force by law officers. They are often vital parts of law enforcement agencies' use of force policies. Although various agencies have developed different models of the continuum, there is no universal standard model (Stetser, 2001, p. 36)
Mr. Rodriguez called 911 to report loud music from his neighbor’s house. He then walked to his neighbor’s house with his firearm and a video camera. After the confrontation with his neighbor, he called law enforcement once more to tell them he felt threatened and that he was standing his ground. While Paul Rodriguez waited for law enforcement to arrive at the scene, he used deadly force against Kelly Danaher. In this case, Mr. Rodriguez initiated the confrontation and there was no proven evidence that he was in danger (Flatow,
Resisting Arrest ,” it is evident that the suspect had a clear advantage on the officer in regards to his weight and height. After clearly assessing the interaction between the officer and suspect, I believe that the officer had every right to throw the first punch. Due to the fact that the suspect
