What type of account does a Use of Force Report provide?

The Use of Force Report serves as a comprehensive documentation of the circumstances, actions, and decisions made by corrections officers when force is utilized in a situation. It typically includes details such as the reason for the force, the type of force used, and the specific actions taken by the officers involved. This report is crucial for accountability, transparency, and understanding the context in which force was applied, providing a clear and detailed narrative of the incident.

While a summary of officer activities, a record of inmate counts, or a description of inmate behavior might encompass aspects of interactions within the corrections environment, none of these provide the in-depth analysis and specifics regarding the use of force that are essential for evaluating both the incident and the proper protocols followed by officers during such events.
