Thanks. I'd also like some clarification on a few points: What falls under the "Other" category under "Type of force"? Is use of a firearm not recorded? And in the section detailing "Citizen condition" what falls under the "Other" category? Are deaths recorded after use of force? Mahalo, Jack Truesdale

Aloha, Types of force "Other" is anything that's not listed. (example: carried away, etc.) Firearm is weapon displayed if a firearm was pointed. Deadly force is if the firearm was used to incapacitate someone. Citizen condition is other injuries suffered. (example: abrasions, etc.) Mahalo!…

Aloha, So to be clear, does MPD not record whether a citizen dies after an MPD use of force incident? The data MPD provided me in this request does not include any "Deadly Force" incidents. Mahalo, Jack Truesdale
