Florence Police Department Reviewing Policies Regarding Force

In response to recent protests, the Florence Police Department has decided to review some of their policies. The department had already decided back in March to review certain “use-of-force” and “duty to act or intervene” procedures, but have now made it a top priority. They have decided not to necessarily change the procedures but rather clarify them in order to help officers better understand how they should respond to certain situations, as well as their role within the community.
