Q

6 levels of Resistance

A
  1. Psychological intimidation - nonverbal cues indicating a subject’s attitude, appearance and physical readiness.
  2. Verbal Non-compliance - verbal responses indicating unwillingness or threats.
  3. Passive Resistance - physical actions that do not prevent the officer’s attempt at control.
  4. Defensive Resistance - physical actions that attempt to prevent the officer’s control, but never attempts to harm the officer.
  5. Active Resistance - physical actions of assault.
  6. Aggravated Active Aggression - deadly force encounters

Q

5 levels of Control

A

1.Officer Presence - I.D. of authority
2.Verbal Direction- (not always essential) commands of direction or arrest, body language, gestures
3.Empty Hand Control
Soft empty hand control - techniques that have minimal probability of injury(joint locks, touch pressure points, strength maneuvers)
Hard empty hand control - techniques that have a high probability of injury, ( hand, foot, elbow, and knee strikes)
4.Intermediate Weapons
Soft intermediate Weapon Control - impact weapon joint locks
Hard intermediate Weapon control - impact weapon strikes
5.Lethal Force - deadly force actions
