Use of Force Policy Disclaimer

The Use of Force Policy and accompanying information below are provided as-is by the law enforcement agency

Agency's use-of-force policy is consistent with the AGO model policy:
No
Why agency's use-of force policy departs from the AGO model policy:
Though the UTC has statutory authority to have law enforcement officers, the agency does not currently employ any law enforcement officers and has not employed law enforcement officers in more than 20 years. Since the agency does not employ law enforcement officers, UTC does not have a use-of-force policy.
How agency's use-of-force policy is consistent with RCW 10.120.020:
The UTC does not employ law enforcement officers, and as such, does not have a use-of-force policy.
