    Hello! I’m Corporal Ashley Hinkebein, I’m currently the Corporal in the Office of Professional Standards for the Clearwater Police Department.

    Are there any agencies who conduct reviews for Show of Force? ie: Officer pointing a firearm at a subject.

    If so, could you please share your policy with me? I would really appreciate it.

    My contact number is 727-281-1551, in case anyone had any questions. Thank you!

    Show of force is use of force by definition.

    Use of Force – The use of any form of physical force that goes beyond the mere grasping of a subject’s arms, hands, or wrists to place handcuffs on the individual.
    Use of force shall also include the pointing of a firearm, Taser, or other use of force weapon or device at a specific subject in an intimidating fashion for the purpose of taking a person into custody or achieving control. [CFA 4.07M]

    See attached policy.

    Thanks!

    Hello Corporal Hinkebein,

    Our department does not refer to pointing a firearm at a subject in policy; however, we do include any response to resistance reports of such in our annual review analysis. Hope this helps.
