You have been tasked by your department with developing a training document for new officers that relates to the use of force. You are to prepare a minimum one page (single spaced) report that details what factors officers should use in determining a suspect’s dangerousness. Make sure to address what is meant by the term “objective reasonableness.” You must reference relevant court cases or statutes or both (use the state you reside in if you would like) that support your discussion.
Please use Massachusetts General Law to complete this report.
