Q

Which two doctrines guide officer use of force?

A

One Plus One Doctrine: Stipulates that an officer can use one level of control higher than the level of resistance shown. Officer must be able to articulate why a matching level of control was not available due to safety or time considerations.

Justification of Force Doctrine: Made of two qualifications
Escalation - Level of control is determined by level of resistance. Therefore, subjects themselves dictate how much force is used on them.
Preclusion - The levels of control do not have to be followed chronologically and levels of force can be ruled out if an officer determines they would be ineffective in inappropriate. An officer can immediately use the level of force necessary to control the situation

Q

  3. Soft, Empty Hand: Physical control techniques that have a low potential for injury. Ex. joint locks (without extension) and pressure point control
  4. Hard Empty Hand: Physical control techniques with a higher probability of injury. Injuries may include lacerations, tissue damage, etc. Ex. Striking techniques, joint locks (with extension) etc. Major muscle groups are the preferred target
  5. Intermediate Weapons: Using a tool to temporarily incapacitate the subject by overcoming their resistance. Preferred targets are major muscles. Ie. Baton, OC spray, K9. Note that intentional strikes to vital organs are considered deadly
  6. Lethal Force: Any force likely, or with the potential to cause GBH or death
