Public comment period opens Jan. 17 for Phoenix PD use-of-force revisions

The Phoenix Police Department soon will be asking the community for comments on revisions to its Use of Force Policy.

A draft copy of the policy is available for review at: https://www.phoenix.gov/policesite/Documents/1.5%20Use%20of%20Force%202023.pdf

The draft is not the entire police, officials said, but it includes the foundational components of the Use of Force Policy: core principles, expanded definitions, levels of force and revised general policies.

The Phoenix Police Department soon will be asking the community for comments on revisions to its Use of Force Policy.

A draft copy of the policy is available for review at: https://www.phoenix.gov/policesite/Documents/1.5%20Use%20of%20Force%202023.pdf

The draft is not the entire police, officials said, but it includes the foundational components of the Use of Force Policy: core principles, expanded definitions, levels of force and revised general policies.

The public comment period begins Tuesday, Jan. 17, and ends Tuesday, Jan. 31. 

Officials said a link for comments will be available next week, and “all comments will be reviewed and taken into consideration before the policy is finalized.”

The remaining sections of the policy will be amended and released later for public review and comment. Those sections of the policy include force options, reporting requirements and duty to intervene, according to a release.
