preview

Amid over a week of protests over police brutality and race relations, Phoenix Police officials have announced changes to training, as well as tactics their officers use. In a tweet, police officials say the department will immediately suspend the training and use of the Carotid Control Technique. "We can't function as a department without the trust of our community and there are adjustments we can make to strengthen that trust,” said Chief Jeri Williams in a statement. According to , a Carotid Restraint Control Hold is a physical technique where a peace officer will apply continuing compression on the carotid arteries on both sides of the neck, with no effect on the respiratory structures of the throat, in order to gain control.
