In my observation and experience, female LEOs have to accelerate their Use of Force continuum because of their more limited ability to subdue or control individuals without assistance.
Think about it, if you are a criminal and you encounter a single officer, and it is a 130 pound female, you may be a lot more inclined to test her physically than if it was a six foot six inch, 260 pound male officer.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
