Drill 6 – Minor Use-of-Force Complaint
Scenario
During an arrest at a bar fight, you and your partner take a resistant subject to the ground. You use a controlled arm-bar technique to apply handcuffs. The subject yells loudly that you “hurt his arm” and continues shouting that he’s going to file a complaint against you for police brutality.
A crowd of bystanders records the incident on their phones. You and your partner are confident that your force was minimal and necessary to safely control the subject.
After the arrest, your partner suggests:“Don’t bother writing too much detail. It was nothing — let’s just keep the report simple so this doesn’t blow up.”
