Akron police data shows use of force incidents slightly higher in 2022, though overall crime is down

There were at least 88 use of force incidents from the beginning of this year to the first week in June.

According to the numbers, crime is down overall across the city, but use of force incidents were up 16% from 2021.

“I can’t give you an explanation of why we’re seeing 12 additional instances of use of force compared to this time last year. When you consider over all our numbers, they are insanely low. When you think about the total number of calls or interactions, we had with the public in 2021, which is close to 150,000 and you add the number of times where force was used, it comes down to like less than one percent,” Mylett said.

He said that generally APD receives very few complains, considering the number of calls officers respond to each year.
