Updated use-of-force policy issued by KCK police weeks before 2 fatal police shootings Katie Moore, The Kansas City Star
Jun. 29 The police department in Kansas City, Kansas, issued an updated use-of-force policy in early June, just a few weeks before two deadly police shootings.
The policy, effective June 2, says officers are allowed to use deadly force to insure the safety of themselves and others from imminent death or great bodily harm. A previous policy was similar, saying lethal force was authorized to protect life.
On June 20, a chase that began in Kansas City, Missouri, crossed the state line. Police said Dario Dominguez, 25, shot at officers, who returned fire, at 18th Street and Parallel Parkway.
