Recommendation: Duty to intervene in cases of improper or excessive use of force
A duty to intervene policy creates an affirmative obligation for police officers to stop other officers from engaging in certain conduct prohibited by law or department policy. As recommended by Campaign Zero’s 8 Can’t Wait initiative, police departments should require officers to stop and report excessive force used by other officers.
Austin Police Department (APD) policy, as outlined within the General Orders, defines terms with meanings that may not be commonly understood. The Office of Police Oversight recommends that terms be defined in a way that both officers and the public can have a clear understanding of what APD requires of its officers.
Background on 8 Can't Wait
The Office of Police Oversight is making recommendations on use-of-force policies as part of a larger effort to re-write Austin Police Department’s General Orders. The revision of the Austin Police Department’s General Orders is a part of the City Council resolutions passed in June 2020.

The first step involves analyzing how APD’s current policies align with policy recommendations of 8 Can’t Wait, an initiative by Campaign Zero that advocates for policies that reduce use of deadly force by police.
