Greater Sudbury Police Service use-of-force incidents totalled 128 in 2022, which was an increase from the 95 incidents recorded in 2021
Greater Sudbury police counted 128 use-of-force incidents last year, which is a 34.7-per-cent increase from the 95 reported in 2021.
Although it has been long accepted that mental health professionals are better equipped than police officers to respond to mental health-related calls, Pedersen said police are still needed. Of the mental health-related incidents involving use of force, 40 per cent involved a conducted energy weapon being shown by police, but not deployed.
Of the 128 incidents, call-outs involving weapons topped the list at 32, followed by 26 mental health calls, 10 injured animals, nine domestic disturbances and seven arrest warrants.
