State releases police use-of-force data for 1st time
The bulk of use of force re ports came from police de partments in the state’s largest cities, which have much higher minority popu lations, said analysts in the report by the Institute for Municipal and Regional Pol icy at the University of Con Kennecticut.Barone, associate direc tor of the institute, said it may be better to compare the use-of-force data with arrest data. In 2019 and 2020, about 34% of people arrested in Connecticut were Black, 44% were white and 21% were Hispanic. The number of use-of-force inci dents was just 1% of the number of arrests. “A disparity still appears to exist in reported incidents of force involving Black indi viduals when compared to available arrest data,” the re port said.

“It is another clear indica tion that there needs to be a very intentional move by government ... to move money out of policing and into services people need,” McGuire Accordingsaid.tothe report, 1,058 officers used force on 650 people in 2019, and 977 officers used force on 663 people in 2020. Some inci dents involved multiple offi cers. There are about 7,250 police officers in Connecti Bridgeport,cut. the state’s largest city, led all depart ments that reported data with 264 use-of-force inci dents over the two years. Waterbury reported 229 in cidents, followed by state police with 181, New Haven with 161 and Hartford with Connecticut91. has more than 100 police agencies. The da ta included incidents report ed by 60 departments. Other agencies reported they had no use of force incidents or did not submit data. The data included the use of guns, stun guns, pepper spray, fists and physical re straining. Most of the uses of force were physical restrain ing more than 800 inci dents over the two years while incidents involving deadly force and firearms totaled nearly 280. In most cases involving police draw ing guns, officers only dis played them and did not fire, the report said. In 2019 and 2020, 11 people were killed by police offi cers’ deadly use of force. Most of the people subjected to police force were un armed 90% in 2019 and 85% in 2020, the report said.
Officials believe a standard ized form for all depart ments that was rolled out in July 2022 for use of force will take care of some of the in consistencies in reporting.
Cheshire Police Chief Neil Dryfe, president of the Con necticut Police Chiefs Asso ciation, said police leaders will be closely watching fu ture reports that include bet ter data, including race and ethnicity numbers, to see if any changes in policing are “warranted.Thebigtakeaway I think, for me and many other chiefs, is that force is used in just a small, tiny fraction of police community interac tions,” he said.
TheBerlinCitizen | theberlincitizen.com Thursday, August25, 2022 A17 police reported that 31% were said to be emotionally disturbed, 9% were said to be suicidal and more than 40% were said to be under the influence of drugs or al cohol, the report says. And about a third of the people subjected to police force were fleeing at the time.
