Q

Why is the Use Of Force Continuum such a good thing?

A

Model has been of immeasurable assistance in litigating excessive force cases. Allows the jury and the court to measure the term “reasonable” in a truly objective fashion.

Q

When does survival stress occur?

A

When “startled” by an imminent threat of personal injury
When time to respond to a threat is minimal

Q

What are the two views on Use Of Force Training?

A
  1. Large numbers of techniques = more response options = the better they will be prepared to face a threat.
  2. Small number of techniques which can be learned quickly and easily while developing skill and confidence.
20
Q

What is Short-term Sensory Store?

A

Using the perceptual senses, the STSS receives the information and holds an image.

21
Q

What is Short Term Memory?

A

Analyzes and evaluates the information received. It formulates a strategy based upon training and past experience.

22
Q

Long-term Memory

A

This must be referenced when the STM is unable to analyze and evaluate the information. This will result in an increase in reaction time.

23
Q

PNS Backlash Symptoms:

A 
Dizziness
Excessive Bleeding
Symptoms of Shock 
Excessive Sweating 
Overwhelming Exhaustion
Excessive Muscle Tremors
24
Q

What is critical Incident Amnesia?

A

Caused by the stress hormone Cortisol. Will effect an officer’s memory of the incident and will effect his/her ability to write an accurate incident report.

25
Q

What are the Main variables in combat performance?

A 
MINDSET
MOTOR SKILL SELECTION
NUTRITION and HYDRATION
FITNESS
BELIEF SYSTEM
26
Q

What are the 3 energy symptoms your body uses?

A

3 Energy Systems:

- ATP/PC System
- Lactic Acid System
- Aerobic System
27
Q

ATP/PC System

A

Small energy bundles stored in muscles. Lets someone perform at 100%, but burns out between 10-15 seconds. After which you can expect a 45% decrees in output.

28
Q

Lactic Acid System

A

Will provide about 45 seconds of intermidiate strength and endurance.

29
Q

Aerobic System

A

Around 90 Seconds into a confrontation the aerobic system becomes dominant. Allows about a 30% maximum output

30
Q

5 Methods to reduce survival stress:

A 
Confidence Factor
Motor Skill Selection
Tactical Breathing (2+2+2)
Visualization Drills
Faith Factor
31
Q

What are the 3 components of Acceptability?

A

Tactical Acceptability

Legal Acceptability

Medical Acceptability

32
Q

What are the two different control theories?

A

Total Control Theory

  1. One Plus One Theory
33
Q

What is total control theory?

A

centered upon the use of an intermediate weapon. This theory allows a specific type of tool to be used to control all levels of resistance.

34
Q

What is one plus one theory?

A

based upon the concept of responding to resistance with proportional use of force. This theory advocates that officers can use one level of force higher than the level of resistance used by the subject.

35
Q

What are the levels of control?

A 
Officer Presence
Verbal Direction
Soft Empty Hand Control
Hard Empty Hand Control
Intermediate Weapon
Deadly Force
36
Q

What are your two options in regards to the reactionary gap?

A

Penetrate the Reactionary Gap

Disengage and employ techniques that are designed to be used from the edge of the Reactionary Gap.

37
Q

List and describe the levels of Relative Positioning:

A

Inside Position – Directly in front of the subject
Level I – At a 45 degree angle to the front
Level II – Side by side
Level II ½ - At a 45 degree angle to the rear
Level III – Directly behind the subject

38
Q

List and describe the types of subjects:

A
  1. Totally Cooperative Subject – (Most Common)
  2. Potentially Uncooperative – (The most dangerous subject to handcuff)
  3. Totally Uncooperative – (There is no handcuff method that works on this subject)
39
Q

What are three things useful in the Decontamination of OC Spray?

A
  1. Time
    1. Air
    2. Water
40
Q

What are the 4 Physiological factors of the vascular Restraint?

A
  1. Venous Compression
    1. Vagus Stimulation
    2. Carotid Compression
    3. Valsalva Manuever
41
Q

What are the 3 levels of Venous Compression?

A

Level I – Rear neck lock, no compression

Level II – Mechanical compression until conscious compliance

Level III – Compression until unconsciousness

42
Q

What must an Officer show to justify the use of deadly force?

A

Must show that such force was:

  • Reasonable and Necessary
    1. To prevent death or serious bodily injury.
    2. To either himself or another person.
