Use of Force Information and Statistics

The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) values the sanctity of human life and the freedoms guaranteed by the United States and California constitutions. The Sacramento Police Department remains committed to serving our community and will continue to review and revise polices in order to best support our department and all of Sacramento.

The Sacramento Police Department’s Professional Standards Unit (PSU) and Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) compile statistical data on officer uses of force and arrests. Below you will find reports that analyze and compare various statistical information broken down by year, age range, race, and other demographics.

Below you will find SPD's current Use of Force Policy (General Order 580.02), as well as additional resources detailing our constant efforts to develop a policy that is consistent with our community's goals and expectations.
