Police Use of Force
Police Use of Force
This data started being published in 2017, and replaces the taser-use reporting data as well as adding wider data around police use of force. It uses financial years rather than calendar years, and so there is some cross-over with the previous reporting by calendar year:
- by-ced-type-force-region/january-december2016-revised.csv
- by-ced-type-force-region/january-march2017.csv
- by-ced-type-force-region/april2017-march2018.csv
- by-ced-type-force-region/april2018-march2019.csv
Total incidents of all use of force (i.e., not just CED). An incident may involve multiple uses of the same type of force, or only the highest level used: we don’t know which forces have used which practice at which time.

Use of force by officer-perceived demographics only started being produced in 2019:
‘By disability’ stats were retitled to ‘by health condition’ for the 2019-20 data. As far we we can tell these are functionally identical but we have kept them separate to most closely reflect the source data.
