SE OF FORCE .:Y; Officer jon Krueger OfficerJason Coder OF During the year of 2009 we continued to provide the best Use of Force training we could to our officers. Our officers completed five different shoot training sessions throughout the year, two of which only our department attended. All of the shoots attended were very educational and received positive feedback from attendees. We continued to use the Taser as a tool to combat uncooperative subjects and officers received four hours of Taser refresher training this past year. We also trained seven Reserve Officers in a four hour block of Use of Force training. Our department participated in several shoots this year; two Anoka County shoots, the MILO shoot and the Night/Inclement Weather shoot. We also had a department shoot this year, this included an individual shoot with each officer at the open ranges; it was called a Dynamic Movement shoot. All of our officers completed an eight hour training in coordination with Anoka County at the Anoka County Law Enforcement Training Center. This training included handcuffing, impact weapon, chemical irritant, weapon retention, edged weapon defense, hand to hand combat, and take downs. Officers concluded the county training with simunition training that included shooting paraffin/paint bullets in live scenarios. During the year 2009, officers from our department used there Tasers in 15 incidents involving use of force situations. Of the 15 cases, the Taser was actually deployed in three cases while the other 12 cases the Taster's were just pointed at the subject. The Taser has been a very useful tool and has helped officers apprehend threatening subjects without causing substantial harm to the subject or officer. The following Use of Force and Firearms trainings were attended by officers during 2009: March 2009 MILO Shoot conducted at the Fridley PD indoor range. 51 70
