Use of force rise linked to Saskatoon police vehicle pursuits

A 91 per cent increase in Saskatoon police use-of-force incidents can be traced to a near-tripling of police vehicle pursuits, which are classified as force, a report says.
Statistics presented at Thursday’s board of police commissioners meeting show the use of force during initial contact with a suspect jumped from 92 incidents in 2015 to 176 in 2016. 
Almost all of that increase can be linked to a spike in vehicle pursuits — 149 were logged in 2016 compared to 54 in 2015. Howe
