Civilian Police Oversight Board · 2026-04-16 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns proposed updates to the Kissimmee Police Department's General Order 401, focusing on response to resistance policies. The proposed changes cover guidelines for the use of deadly force, including when an animal may be destroyed, and procedures following incidents involving serious injury or death. It also details policies on motor vehicle assaults, chokeholds, vascular neck restraints, impact weapons, empty hand strikes, and firearms. These policy revisions are currently under review by the Civilian Police Oversight Board. The scope of work would involve reviewing and potentially updating departmental policies and training materials. This early stage offers an opportunity for legal services and professional training providers to engage with the department as these policies are finalized.
