Abstract: The FBI has a long-standing tradition of collecting data
and providing statistics concerning Law Enforcement Officers Killed and
Assaulted (LEOKA) and justifiable homicides. To provide a better
understanding of the incidents of use of force by law enforcement, the
FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a data collection
for law enforcement agencies to provide information on incidents where
the use of force by a law enforcement officer led to the death or
serious bodily injury of a person, as well as when a law enforcement
officer discharged a firearm at or in the direction of a person. When a
use of force incident occurs, federal, state, county, local, tribal,
and territorial law enforcement agencies provide information to the
data collection on characteristics of the incident, the victim(s) on
which force was used by law enforcement, and the officers who applied
force in the incident. Agencies positively affirm, monthly, whether
their agency did or did not have a use of force incident that resulted
in a fatality, a serious bodily injury to a person, or a firearm
discharge at or in the direction of a person. When no use of force
incident occurs in a month, agencies submit a zero report. Enrollment
information from agencies and state points of contact is collected when
the agency or contact initiates participation in the data collection.
Enrollment information is updated no less than annually to assist with
managing the data. The data collection defines a law enforcement
officer using the current LEOKA definition: ``All local, county, state,
and federal law enforcement officers (such as municipal, county police
officers, constables, state police, highway patrol, sheriffs, their
deputies, federal law enforcement officers, marshals, special agents,
etc.) who are sworn by their respective government authorities to
uphold the law and to safeguard the rights, lives, and property of
American citizens. They must have full arrest powers and be members of
a public governmental law enforcement agency, paid from government
funds set aside specifically for payment to sworn police law
enforcement organized for the purposes of keeping order and for
preventing and detecting crimes, and apprehending those responsible.''
The definition of ``serious bodily injury'' is based, in part, on Title
18, United States Code, Section 2246 (4), to mean ``bodily injury that
involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, protracted and
obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function
of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.'' These actions include
the use of a firearm, an electronic control weapon (e.g., taser), an
explosive device, pepper or oleoresin capsicum spray or other chemical
agent, a baton, an impact projectile, a blunt instrument, hands-fists-
feet, or canine.
