Defensive Tactics Flashcards
An officer confronted by an unarmed but aggressive subject should maintain a distance of:
6 feet
The principle used to ensure the transfer of maximum kinetic energy when delivering a strike
Fluid shock wave principle.
The purpose of a distraction technique is:
Weaken a motor action
The components of acceptability in the PPCT system are?
Tactical, Legal, Medical
The arrival of a police officer in uniform and marked patrol unit is an example of
Officer presence
The use of a nerve pressure point technique by an officer to a resisting subject is an example of
Soft physical control
A brachial stun to a resisting subject is an example of
Hard physical control
An officer is required to strike a subject with a five cell flashlight to the common peroneal, this is an example of
Intermediate weapon control
A protestor fails to obey the commands of an officer. When the officer attempts to physically remove the person, he goes limp. The person is displaying what type of resistance
Passive resistance
Subject who pulls away from an officer when he is being escorted from one place to another is demonstrating what type of resistance?
Active resistance
An intoxicated subject has been placed under arrest. The subject becomes resistance and begins to kick the officer in the shins. This subject is demonstrating
Assaultive
According to PPCT, the zone of recommended safe distance is called
Reactionary gap
The Relative Position that should be avoided whenever possible.
Inside Position
According to the PPCT, the interview should be conducted from which Relative Position
Level One
Speed cuffing is an example of what?
Soft physical control
An officer utilizing the speed-cuffing technique, the officer should approach from which relative position?
Level 2 1/2
When executing the speed-cuffing you encounter resistance and use the Iron Wristlock Takedown. This utilizes which control principle?
Balance Displacement and Pain Compliance
PPCT joint lock should be applied from which Relative Position
Level 2 1/2
An officer, while escorting a subject from one location to another, experiences the subject lock his arm out an resist. What technique should the officer use?
Straight armbar takedown
When an officer is executing a joint lock takedown, he should step in which of direction?
Level 2 1/2
Prior to the application of a joint lock, officer should always use the following:
Distraction technique
Touch pressure control techniques were primarily designed to control which types of resistance?
Passive resistance
Identify the pressure or motor point that is struck with an empty hand to cause mental stunning
Brachial plexus origin
What two types of subjects that an officer will handcuff
totally uncooperative and possibly uncooperative.
Complex motor skills begin to deteriorate at what BPM?
145 BPM (Ideal is 115-145BPM)
Four most common types of resistance
Passive, Active, Assaultive, Cooperative
The use of pain to influence resistive behaviour?
Pain compliance
Stimulation of overwhelming sensory input?
Stunning technique
Control technique that weaken the motor action by changing the thought process
Distraction technique
Control techniques that displace balance through principles of leverage
Balance displacing technique
Control striking techniques that overstimulate motor nerves, causing a temporary muscle impairment
Motor dysfunction
Two types of subjects most likely to resist during handcuffing
Impaired and Previously convicted.
Motor skills least affected by high stress
Gross motor skills
4 stages of reaction time
perception, analysis of information, formulation of strategies, motor initiation.
