We all know how hard our Hanford Police Department works to keep our community safe. But what you may not know is just how busy they are in 2024. Every day, a Hanford Police patrol officer averages 13 calls for service, conducts four officer-initiated contacts and makes two traffic stops. The department had 46,975 calls for service in 2023, up from 44,989 in 2022. Some of the most common calls include: Disturbances, Suspicious or Unwanted Person, homeless issues, and 911 hangups. Patrol officers do everything they can to respond to high priority calls as fast as possible—the average response time in 2023 was eight minutes. But the department is spread thin. With 65 allocated sworn positions, the department has 1.08 officers per 1,000 people, compared to the national average of 1.5 officers per 1,000 people. Only three new patrol officer positions have been added in the last 25 years, even as Hanford’s population has increased by more than 50%.

"I truly believe that the #Minneapolis #Police Department [#MPD] will be one of the greatest #comeback stories in history -- and who wouldn't want to be part of that?" -- MPD Police Chief Brian O'Hara, noting that Minneapolis is #recruiting 18- to 44-year-olds within a 300-mile radius of the #city to fill hundreds of #dispatch and #policeofficer positions. #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #Hiring #NowHiring #HiringNow #Jobs #JobsAndCareers #Employment #911Dispatch #EmergencyResponders #EmergencyResponse #FirstResponders #Staffing #SocialMedia #PublicAwareness #PR #MinneapolisMN #TwinCities #Minnesota #Video #WCCOTV #CBSNewsMinnesota

On patrol, you never know what kind of weapon you may be confronted with. While guns and knives may be more common, there are many other deadly weapons out there. When San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) Officers were confronted with a man with a loaded crossbow, they used good tactics and communicated openly with each other to control the incident. When the suspect took assertive action with the crossbow, they did not hesitate to utilize the appropriate level of force needed to stop the threat. Officers can do all they can to try to deescalate situations and peacefully end encounters, however the bad guy always has a say in the matter and Officers have to always be ready to protect themselves, their partners, and the community. Excellent job SFPD! #police #policeofficer #policeofficers #officer #officers #lawenforcement #lawenforcementofficer #cop #cops #sheriff #policechief #policedepartment #deputy #criminaljusticesystem #copscountpolicematter #policing #policeman #criminallaw #publicsafety #communitysafety International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum Major Cities Chiefs Association TEEX - Institute for Law Enforcement and Protective Services FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

Without these vital components, patrols may not bring crime down and could even backfire. An ISS pilot study of hotspot policing shows that targeted, evidence-based operations can reduce crime.

When can a Police Officer USE FORCE? In a complex urban society, officers are confronted daily with situations where control must be exercised to effect arrests and to protect the public safety. Control may be exercised through advice, warnings, and persuasion, or by the use of physical force. Officers are permitted to use force that is objectively reasonable to #defend themselves or others, to effect an #arrest or detention, and/or to prevent escape or overcome resistance, consistent with the Department's Policy on the Use of Force #LAPD #ComplyNowComplainLater
