The number of times a record (or FDCR) has been submitted. In the overwhelming majority of cases there is only a single record submitted, however if an officer uses more instances of force than can be tracked on a single FDCR (up to 8) a second will be submitted under the same Record ID. The 'Record Count' will display how many duplicate instances there are for an officer in an single event. For example, if an officer uses the same type of force on the same subject in the same instance 16 times, there will be a Record Count of "2". |
