Every department must review its force policies, guidelines, and procedures both in written form and in actual practice. Force policy issues should be mandatory reading material for every officer, followed by hands-on training covering legal requirements, the continuum of force, and the practical application of techniques. Supervisors are responsible for monitoring the activity of the officers they oversee, controlling the use of force at the scene of an incident, documenting and investigating all occurrences of use of force, taking corrective action when force is inappropriately used, and maintaining a tracking system for all use of force incidents. All departments must have a disciplinary policy, aimed at correcting improper behavior, increasing the competency of the organization, maintaining consistency with agency policy and goals, and ensuring public confidence in the department.
