The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) announced the adoption of updated use of force policies that emphasize de-escalation, the proportionality of force principles, and limitations on the use of lethal force and less-lethal devices.

The updated use-of-force policy is effective immediately and replaces a previous policy put into place on August 10, 2016.

As a partner agency in the Indianapolis OneCOP Initiative, MovementForward, Inc. looks forward to working with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) in their efforts to redefine policing and public safety in Indianapolis.
