Response to recent misrepresentation of AbbyPD intervention stats in the media

Statistics for the past 5 years show that, on average, Abbotsford Police Officers attend over 30,000 calls for service yearly and successfully resolve over 99% of those calls without the use of any police intervention tactics.  Police intervene only with necessary force options that are required to de-escalate the behaviour of a subject. Use of force options are made through a constant assessment and consideration of citizen, officer and subject safety.
