Conflicts over policy are categorized as which type?

• A. Type 1
• B. Type 2
• C. Type 3
• D. Excessive force

Answer: (B)

Conflicts over policy focus on what the policy says, its goals, and its boundaries—the policy’s substance. That’s why this category fits best: it captures disagreements about the content of the policy itself, not how it is applied or whether a separate incident violated rules. An issue described as excessive force relates to conduct and enforcement rather than the policy’s specific provisions, so it isn’t a policy-content conflict. Other categories cover different kinds of disagreement, such as implementation or actions under the policy, which is why the policy-centered clashes are classified as Type 2.
