§ 14-9. Use of force.

Latest version.

The use of any lethal or less than lethal equipment, or force to include but not be limited to chemical spray's commonly referred to as mace, a tranquilizer gun, pole injector, or bite stick, shall be approved by the chief of police or his duly authorized representative. This approval may be in the form of a written standing order, or a verbal or written order applied to a specific situation.

Any person being authorized to use such equipment shall complete a training course approved by the chief of police. This section may not be interpreted in such a way as to limit the ability of a person to use reasonable force in self defense, or the defense of another.
