ARTICLE 51 - USE OF FORCE

 

The City and the Union recognize that due to the unique nature of law enforcement, the use of force is occasionally necessary and proper for the Police Department to accomplish its mission.

 

The Union agrees that it is the sole right and responsibility of the City to establish standards and policy regarding the use of force balancing the safety of the community and its police with the constitutional principles of due process.

 

In the event that the City determines that a significantly more restrictive policy regarding the use of deadly force is necessary, the City agrees to meet and negotiate the impact of such change with the Union.
