Police Use of Force

This data started being published in 2017, and replaces the taser-use reporting data as well as adding wider data around police use of force. It uses financial years rather than calendar years, and so there is some cross-over with the previous reporting by calendar year:

Total incidents of all use of force (i.e., not just CED). An incident may involve multiple uses of the same type of force, or only the highest level used: we don't know which forces have used which practice at which time.

Use of force by officer-perceived demographics only started being produced in 2019:

'By disability' stats were retitled to 'by health condition' for the 2019-20 data. As far we we can tell these are functionally identical but we have kept them separate to most closely reflect the source data.
