police use of force

Likely the most critical concept in which officers are trained; appropriate use of force within constitutional restraints is key to ensuring the legitimacy of policing in the 21st century. There is no greater responsibility borne by police officers than the responsibility to use force lawfully and judiciously.

How often are officers receiving continuing training in use of force after academy instruction? Are supervisors and field training officers obtaining the deeper and broader understanding of the topic necessary to guide young officers?
