Synopsis as reported by the agency
The Officer was disciplined for his involvement in an escort of an inmate at Garden State Correctional Facility and an allegation of inappropriate force being used during the initial stages of the escort of the inmate. An investigation and review determined that that the Officer did not exhaust all other reasonable means before resorting to force, specifically, when he immediately applied wrist locks and pain compliance on the inmate. There were no de-escalation techniques, clear instructions, or warnings used to gain voluntary compliance before the use of physical force and the inmate was not given a reasonable opportunity to comply during the initial stages of the escort. The officer continued to use pain compliance throughout the escort without reassessing or determining if the compliance technique was achieving an appropriate level of control.
