OFF-DUTY RESPONSE Flashcards
OFFICER RESPONSIBILITY
The cadet will recall it is ultimately the law enforcement officer’s, not the agency’s responsibility to:
♦ Stay abreast of new methods, studies, procedures, practices, court decisions,
and dynamic tactics to perform their duties
♦ Maintain a survival attitude at all times
UNKNOWN SUBJECTS
The cadet will recall the following regarding unknown subjects:
♦ Physically impaired persons may give a law enforcement officer a false sense of security, exposing them to additional possibilities of serious bodily injury or death
♦ Emotionally disturbed persons (EDP’s) may, without provocation, become a threat to an officer
♦ Members of extremist political groups may view a law enforcement officer as a threat to their way of life, and attempt to cause serious bodily injury or death to the law enforcement officer
