let me clear up what im trying to say.
policies are written and changed every month and we recieve the updates throughout the year. one facter that is always present is policies are guidlines the officers and the dept must go by but they are flexable due to the nature of evets. that has been ruled on in a court of law. specifically that ruling stats that no guideline or policy can deny a officer the right to defend himself when deadly force is being used against him or her.
