246.08 Review Response to Resistance or Aggression
The records unit must forward copies of reports that identify or describe an officer’s response to resistance or aggression to the internal affairs unit for analysis. These reports will include all incidents involving any intermediate or higher level of control, including the use of strikes, kicks, takedowns, baton, K9, less-lethal, aerosol subject restraint, electronic control device, firearms, or weapons of opportunity. The internal affairs unit will review the reports to ensure that the actions taken in the incident conform to department policies and procedures. If the review indicates a violation of any department policies, procedures, or training, an investigation will be undertaken by the internal affairs unit with the commander of the unit named as the complainant. This investigation will follow the procedures and policies as if a formal complaint had been received except that the chief of police will receive a copy of the final report of the findings in each such case.
Copies of reports will also be sent to the training unit for a review of training needs.
