Our ongoing investigation into police-related incidents is expanding its focus to encompass the examination of the weapons employed and their impact on perceived levels of danger. The primary objective of this inquiry is to gain a deeper understanding of how the type and presence of weapons influence the outcomes of these incidents. Additionally, we are delving into the correlation between individuals’ encounters with law enforcement and indicators of mental health issues.

While our initial attempts to utilize logistic regression for this research did not yield accurate predictions, we are considering modifications to the model to enhance its performance. If these adjustments prove insufficient, we will explore the use of classification models. These models have the potential to provide more nuanced insights into the intricate dynamics at play within these critical situations.
