Basic

According to Carl B. Klockars, the basic function of policing is dealing with any problems that may require the use of coercive force (Dempsey and Forst, 2011). In a minimum 200 word response, provide examples of situations where law enforcement officers may use coercive force. Of your examples, identify which one(s) include reason(s) allowing officers to use lethal or deadly force? Which examples call for less-than-lethal force?
