Three types of use-of-force events and information related to each event will be collected starting in 2017. These events include:

• When a fatality to a person occurs connected to use of force by a law enforcement officer;
• When there is serious bodily injury to a person connected to use of force by a law enforcement officer;
• In the absence of either death or serious bodily injury, when a firearm is discharged by law enforcement at or in the direction of a person.

The definition of serious bodily injury will be based, in part, upon Title 18, United States Code, Section 2246 (4). The term "serious bodily injury" means "bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty."
