Show Notes
Bakersfield Police Department sees a significant drop in use of force incidents, with a 17% decrease from 2022 to 2023. This aligns with a national crime rate decline post-pandemic. Chief Lyndsay Stephens attributes this to targeted training and community trust-building. Arrests for resisting officers slightly increased, but the department views this as a result of proactive community policing. BPD plans to maintain this progress through ongoing de-escalation classes and partnerships.
