West Mercia police officers used force less often last year than they did before the pandemic, new figures show.
Incidents where West Mercia Police has used force have declined compared to before the pandemic
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said:"Within the police service we have a duty to protect people from harm and these techniques are in place to resolve dangerous situations, whilst ensuring we protect the public at the scene, the individual under arrest and the officers in attendance. Gavin Hales, a senior associate fellow at the Police Foundation think tank said last year involved “something of a return to normal crime levels” after a drop in crime over successive lockdowns.
Police forces can use multiple tactics in one incident, so this figure may be higher than the total number of incidents where restraint was used. Across England and Wales, black people are 3.5 times more likely to be subject to use of force tactics.
