Lynnwood Police Use of Force Dashboard

The Lynnwood Police Department contracted with Police Strategies LLC to conduct an in-depth analysis of officer involved use of force incidents.  The current analysis includes data from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.  Police Strategies LLC developed a Use of Force Dashboard that allows the user to explore the data directly.  The dashboard provides the Department greater analysis of use of force incidents as well as for public transparency.  Our intent is this data will be updated annually. 

Below is the Use of Force Dashboard.  At the top of the dashboard are four buttons.  These will help navigate the dashboard and include the following:

  • Dashboard Instructions

  • Day, Time & Location Of Use of Force Incidents

  • Subject Characteristics & Crimes Charged

  • Use of Force Tactics, Restraints, & Injury Rates

The dashboard is highly interactive. By selecting data within the dashboard, the dashboard will allow the user to define parameters to further explore use of force data.
