Police Discretion ➢ One of the most important powers vested by law to the police officers; ➢ It is defined as an authority conferred by law to act in a certain condition or situation in accordance with an official or an official agency’s own considered judgment and conscience; and ➢ It is defined as the wise use of one's judgment, personal experience to decide a particular situation. It is the freedom to make a choice among possible course or courses of action or inaction.
Note: One decision that is difficult for a police officer to make is whether to use force against a civilian, a decision that must be made quickly and often under stressful and ambiguous circumstances.
