We show that violent crimes and assaulted or killed officers increase with warmer days (17 Degrees C and more), indicating an increased risk of personal harm on such days. Despite the higher threat level, temperatures have a precise null impact on the number of deaths via firearms, suggesting officers exercise judgment over their use of firearms independently of threat level. However, deaths from Tasers significantly increase during 'extremely warm' days (32 Degrees Celsius and more), indicating a need to reevaluate Taser-use policies to prevent unintended deaths.
