Or. Admin. Code § 291-013-0185 - General Provisions
(1) An
employee performing duties in the community will not participate in any planned
use of force situations.
(2) An
employee performing duties in the community will immediately contact the local
law enforcement agency for a crime in progress or anticipated use of force to
allow the law enforcement agency to resolve the situation.
(3) The local law enforcement agency will be
the primary agency expected to resolve incidents in the community involving the
use of force.
(4) An employee's
decision to remain at the scene of a potentially dangerous situation in the
community, or to become involved with cooperative efforts with the law
enforcement agency will be based on safety and tactical judgments that exclude
whether the employee is carrying a firearm.
(5) An employee shall always use the minimum
force that is reasonably necessary to protect the employee or another person
from bodily harm or restrain or subdue a resistant adult in custody, or prevent
the escape of an adult in custody.
(6) Escalation to a higher level of force is
permitted only when such a higher level of force is warranted by the actions,
apparent intentions, and apparent capabilities of the adult in custody,
suspect, or assailant.
(7) The use
of force must be objectively reasonable under all the circumstances known to
the employees at the time. The use of force may range from verbal commands to
the use of lethal force. If the force other than lethal force reasonably
appears to be sufficient to achieve the correctional objective, lethal force
shall not be used.
(8) Lethal and
non-lethal devices shall be concealed from the general public when and where
appropriate. A device should not be inspected or handled in view of the public
unless for an operational purpose.
