York City Police's use of force policy now available to the public (Columbia Borough's policy is still not available to the public)

The City of York has released to the public its police department's use of force policy, which is currently being evaluated to ensure that it aligns with national recommendations, according to a news release.

The 22-page policy is available on the front page of the city's website, www.yorkcity.org.

The policy details when police officers can use chemical agents, such as pepper spray; conductive electrical weapons, such as a Taser; physical strikes, and deadly force. It took effect in November 2014 and was revised in March 2018.
