The Richmond Police Department today
released resource material that provides an overview of the Use-of-Force and
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training provided to RPD officers. It has been
posted on the RPD website: www.richmondgov.com/police
“One of the most important aspects of our training is teaching our officers what to do when faced with a situation where they may need to use force,” said Chief Durham. “We expect this resource material will help citizens better understand what that training involves.”
Earlier this year, the Department started posting use-of-force data on the website that lists the number and type of incidents in which force was used. It is updated regularly.
