Use of Force Data

Nationwide, historical data supports that a small percentage of police-public encounters involve force. When you isolate the use of force by University Police, those uses of force become exceedingly rare. This is a testament to University based officer’s ability to effectively use their de-escalation training and apply learned techniques. This training combined with University Police policy requires Officers to use the minimal effective force necessary based on the situtation. This means that officers are trained and required to use use the LEAST amount of force necessary to accomplish their lawful objectives.

When injuries occur as a result of the use of force, they are likely to be minor. In one study cited by the Office of Justice Programs, it found that the most common injury to a suspect was a bruise or abrasion (48 percent) and that a use of force most commonly occurs when a suspect is resisting arrest attempts.

The following are a list of incidents in which force was used by University Officers. By UWPD Policy, the definition of a "Use of Force" is more broad and inclusuve, therefore, our reporting tracks incidents above and beyond the state mandated reporting levels, which define a use of force different.
