The goal is to build confidence and cause less harm to suspects and citizens.
BELLEVUE, Wash. — The Bellevue Police Department is doing something no other police department has ever done before.
“I just feel more able to do the job and not get attacked as easily,” said officer and instructor Craig Hanaumi. “It’s causing less harm so it’s like a double win. I’m not going to get hurt, they’re not going to get hurt and I still get the objective which is to hold the person down so you cannot beat it.”
Officers also learned how to handcuff someone and take them into custody from certain holding positions.
