Uniform Crime Reports
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program was conceived in 1929 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet a need for reliable, uniform crime statistics for the nation. In 1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and archiving those statistics. Today, several annual statistical publications, such as the comprehensive Crime in the United States, are produced from data provided by nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States.

Annual Use of Force Reports
The Pearland Police Department places its highest value on the life and safety of its officers and the public. The department’s policies, rules and procedures are designed to ensure this value guides employees in their interactions with the public and police officer and jailer use of force. To the extent possible, all employees are required to utilize trained de-escalation techniques in situations which may otherwise require force to be used.
Even though all officers and jailers must be prepared to use force when necessary, reasonableness must be exercised in its use. Consequently, an officer or jailer is justified in the reasonable use of force in self-defense, in defense of another, or when faced with a situation that immediately requires force to be used to protect life, property, or lawfully effect an arrest or detention. Just as important, an officer or jailer is expected to refrain from using force when the use of force might threaten the life or safety of an innocent person, or if the use of force is not clearly warranted by the policy and rules of the department.
