WCCB’s Courtney Francisco Gets A First Hand Experience With CMPD’s Use Of Force Training

CHARLOTTE, NC — CMPD gave an inside look at officers’ use of force training during an exercise Wednesday morning.

This comes days after body cam videos were released showing the moments leading up the deadly officer-involved shooting of Ruben Galindo.

WCCB Charlotte’s Courtney Francisco trained with officers to get an idea of difficulties they can face when trying to make an arrest. Officials say two percent of police encounters result in the use of force.

CMPD also says it will discuss more lethal forms of force, like gun use policy, in seminars next month.
