Newport News Police Department 2024 Annual Report
Use of Force Incidents
In all situations, only that force which is reasonable and necessary to effectively bring an incident under
control, while protecting the life of the officer or others, shall be applied. The Use of Force Review Board
(UFRB) meets monthly to review Use of Force Reports. All Use of Force Review Board Meetings include
nine voting members, five citizens and four officers, who review seven to eight cases a month to
determine if the use of force was: within policy, within policy but future training required, or out of policy.
In addition, the NNPD training staff attends the meetings to answer citizens’ questions regarding training.
