- Chokehold: Intentional and prolonged application of force to the throat, windpipe, or airway that prevents the intake of air.
- Blue Team: Computer-based software program (IAPro) for documenting citizen complaints, use of force, K-9 utilization, and other Internal Affair related incidents, with an early intervention tool for flagging use of force incidents, K9 utilizations, and citizen complaints.
Deadly Force
- Any use of force that creates a substantial risk of causing death or serious bodily injury.
- Examples of deadly force: • Firearms • Impact weapon strikes to the head, neck, throat, or clavicle • Use of a vehicle against other occupied vehicles or pedestrians • Vascular Neck Restraints, Chokeholds, or other weaponless control techniques with a potential for severe injury or death • Use of specialty munitions (SIMS) to the head, neck, throat, or clavicle
Excessive Use of Force and Less-Lethal Force
- Excessive Use of Force: Use of force that exceeds the degree of force permitted by law, policy, or the observing deputy's employing agency.
- Less-Lethal Force: Any use of force other than deadly force that involves physical effort, or the use of agency-issued less-lethal equipment to control, restrain, or overcome resistance.
Objectively Reasonable and Serious Bodily Injury
- Objectively Reasonable: The determination that the necessity for using force and the level of force used is based on the deputy's evaluation of the situation in light of the totality of the circumstances known to the deputy at the time of the force used and upon what a reasonable prudent deputy would do under the same or similar situations.
- Serious Bodily Injury: An injury to a person that involves a substantial risk of death, serious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a body part.
Soft Empty Hand Control and Totality of Circumstances
- Soft Empty Hand Control: Techniques that have minimal implications of injury, designed to control primarily low levels of resistance (e.g., pain compliance techniques, transporters, take-downs, and/or other "hands on" maneuvers/techniques).
- Totality of Circumstances: All facts and circumstances known to the deputy at the time or reasonably perceived by the deputy as the basis for a use of force decision, including the suspect's form of resistance, all reasonably perceived factors that may have an effect on the situation, and the response options available to the deputy.
