The Winnipeg Police Service invited members of the media to their headquarters to take part in a use of force training session on Friday. The Winnipeg Police say less than half of one percent of all WPS interactions with the public involve force. A Winnipeg woman was also in court this week fighting charges of assaulting a peace officer. Officers use role-playing to create situations where police may be faced with the option of having to use force. Role playing officers recreated real-life scenarios with aggressive people, and the media participants had to decide how to handle the situation.
