The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department announced the adoption of new use-of-force policies on Wednesday, following nationwide protests over police brutality and calls for reform.

“The adoption of these new use of force standards is a substantial milestone, one that I hope demonstrates our commitment to building community trust and developing stronger neighborhood partnerships to address violent crime,” Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Chief Randal Taylor said in a statement.
