What must be completed along with a Use of Force Report?

The completion of an Incident Report along with a Use of Force Report is essential for several reasons. An Incident Report provides a comprehensive account of the situation that led to the use of force, detailing the circumstances, actions taken, and interactions involved. This is crucial for establishing the context in which the force was used, which is often necessary for legal and administrative reviews.

While an Injury Report, Witness Statement, and Subject Statement may also be relevant in specific scenarios, they do not encompass the entirety of the incident nor provide the full context required in reviewing such a critical event as a use of force. The Incident Report serves as a foundational document that helps to summarize all relevant factors, making it indispensable for proper documentation and future analysis.
