Dear Lt. Avery,
Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply! I was able to find most of the information I needed in the Policy Manual you linked to. I have 2 questions that I didn't see specifically addressed and want to be sure of the answers to:
1. Are officers required to give a verbal warning in all situations before using deadly force?
2. Are officers required to exhaust all other alternatives, including non-force and less lethal force options, prior to resorting to deadly force?
Kind regards,
Alison Bodenhemier
From: Pinole Police Department
