Incident Summary
DISPATCH:
Units were originally dispatched to an incomplete 911 call; later determined to be a domestic violence incident at the
victim's place of work.
FORCE USED:
The suspect was actively fleeing from officers and physically resisted arrest. To prevent escape and overcome the
suspect's physical resistance, officers used the following force:
Officer Brammer: used an impact weapon and bodily force to overcome the suspect's resistance.
Officer R. Garcia: used bodily force and a takedown to stop the suspect from fleeing and to overcome his resistance.
Officer Ron: used bodily force to overcome the suspect's resistance.
Officer Vasquez: used bodily force and the carotid restraint to overcome the suspect's resistance.
INJURIES:
The suspect did not have any visible injuries as a result of the use of force. The suspect did not complain of any pain as
a result of the force used.
As a result of the suspect's resistance, Officer Vasquez suffered abrasions and scratches to his right elbow, and an
abrasion and complaint of pain to his right knee.
PHOTOGRAPHS/VIDEOS:
Officer Brammer took photographs of the domestic violence victim, the use of force scene, and all officers involved in the
use of force.
No cameras were located that were known to capture the use of force incident. Traffic cameras were discovered on
different corners of Anaheim St./Long Beach Blvd. Video review/request was sent to Info Tech Officer E. Reyes.
STATEMENTS:
The suspect refused to provide me with a statement.
CONCLUSION/ACTIONS:
Based on my investigation, I believe the force used was reasonable and in-policy.
The incident was debriefed and the tactics and force options were discussed with all the officers involved. Officer
Garcia's takedown, which utilized the baton was throughly debriefed. Based on that debrief I believe it was reasonable
for him to perform the takedown with the method he utilized.
NOTIFICATIONS:
Watch Commander Lieutenant Coy was notified.
