Equip field officers with a simple and secure way to capture photos, videos, notes and audio files while on scene using their Android or iOS devices.

While the number of reports decreased for the year overall, Fernandes explained those numbers could be misleading as new rules implemented at the beginning of 2023 allowed for broader allowance of team use of force reports.

The annual report shows 2023 is the fifth consecutive year where the number of incidents involving less-lethal options outnumbered firearms usage.

The 13 reports relating to officers drawing or firing firearms in 2023 decreased by five from 2022. And of those 13, four saw firearms discharged for compassionate reasons related to animal dispatch. The remaining nine firearms reports were the result of high-risk incidents throughout the year where police had concerns for public safety.

The total number of reports decreased to 32 in 2023 compared to 39 in 2022, with the biggest change being in the use of conductive energy weapons (CEW), commonly known as stun guns.

Insp. Julio Fernandes presented the service’s annual report on use of force during the Jan. 18 police services board meeting at the South Division station in Bradford.

Digital evidence can be one of the most valuable tools when investigating and prosecuting cases. But the extreme volume, variety and velocity of data has made digital evidence management more complex than ever. It’s time to revolutionize digital evidence management.

Provide a complete operating picture that integrates critical real-time intelligence in a single display including video, alerts and mapping data.

While probes on wires can be launched to stun people from a distance, the probes can also be energized without launching to stun people in close quarters. This is officially referred to as a drive strike.

Local police drew stun guns 13 times in 2023, making it “the most common use of force option,” and frequently found drawing alone to be effective.

“Having the CEW as a use of force option definitely decreases having to use more physical force or to resort to other options such as the (baton) or (pepper) spray or anything else. It’s a very valuable tool,” Fernandes said in an interview after the meeting.

Raising funding is difficult and time-consuming. Video-as-a-Service provides video devices, evidence software and support services with no upfront investment.
