URL: https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/324ff147-816c-4143-a414-d1e973dca140/resource/2150ac23-4e55-474a-b61f-81baf6850851/download/useofforce_detaileddataset_2020-2022.csv

This dataset provides information about provincially reportable police use of force and the race of individuals, as perceived by members of the police forces, in respect of whom a use of force report is prepared. Select variables (i.e., ‘Officer rank’, ‘Officer length of service’, ‘Review – recommended post traumatic’ and ‘Review- recommended other training’) have been removed from the dataset to reduce the risk of re-identification.
