force the officers into using a higher level of force, and that's certainly not what i want to see. >> reporter: halloran says they had agreed to keep the restraining technique until tasers would be accepted. also approved last night, officers will no longer be allowed to shoot any moving vehicles except under exceptional circumstances the halloran says the language they agreed on during negotiations spelled out in more explicit terms the exceptions. the police commission president susie loftis counters. >> we weren't able to reach agreements but we moved forward on what the united states department of justice said this department needs to do. >> well, it's now up to the new chief, bill scott, who was appointed just two days ago to implement this new use of force policy and it will be the first time, by the way, since 1995, that officers here will have to adjust to a new set of protocols.
