Strategies used to enhance an officers survival and response time to a spontaneous threat include: maintaining the reactionary gap, identifying threatening body language, maintaining psychological control of the subject AND: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Developing a predetermined survival response The 4 steps in the weapon retention process are: stabilize the grip, pull the weapon to the center, release and stun: AND ------CORRECT ANSWER---- -----------Distract if release fails When an officer is confronted by a subject with a weapon and must employ a disarming procedure, he/she should parry the weapon and move the target, secure the weapon, AND ------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- Disarm and stun Four issues that can help officers prepare for a disarming encounter include relative distance, absolute commitment in disarming, follow up control AND ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Distractionary Windows What are the two control theories? ------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- Total Control Theory One Plus One Theory

The theory allows a specific type of tool to be used to control all levels of resistance. (EWC, pepper spray, baton) What is one plus one theory? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------the conservative force theory.

They include strength techniques, joint locks, pressure points, hand cuffing, knee strike/distraction technique. What are hard empty hand controls? ------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- Designed to control active aggression and defensive resistance (when lower amounts of force are not reasonable). They include defensive counter strikes aka front thrust kick, knee strike, angle kick, palm heel strike, brachial stun.
What are intermediate weapons? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------the application or use of any weapon/object that is not part of the human body to control resistance or assault. These include baton, EWCs, and pepper spray. Deadly force weapons? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Limited to the defense of the officer or another when the officer has reason to believe there is imminent danger of death or great bodily harm (SBI). (minimum) see CRS.

Officers respond to investigate a suspicious subject in front of an all-night liquor store and upon arrival, are confronted by a subject who immediately produces a knife and lunges at the officers. This is considered: ------ CORRECT ANSWER---------------Deadly Force Assault If a subject is not willing to comply with an officer's commands and makes threatening statements to the officer, this would be considered: ------ CORRECT ANSWER---------------Passive Resistance/Inactive Resistance Officers attempt to escort a protester from a rally and as they do, the protester goes "limp" and becomes "dead weight". This is considered which type of resistance? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Passive Resistance/Inactive Resistance The use of a joint lock to control a subject who has resisted would be considered what type of response by the officer? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Pain Compliance An officer tells a subject to step out of the car. This type of officer response is: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Officer Presence/Verbal Direction An officer uses the bony portion of his/her hand to deliver a strike to an offenders brachial Plexus Origin. This is considered: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Deadly Force Response For officer safety, the minimum safe zone that an officer should maintain is referred to as: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Reactionary Gap
If an officer uses their baton to deliver a Fluid Shockwave Strike to an offenders Tibial nerve motor point, is it considered: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Intermediate Weapon Controls If a officer, dressed in full uniform arrives at a scene, their presence is considered: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Officer Presence If an officer delivers an angle kick to a subjects common Peroneal Nerve Motor Point, It is considered: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Hard Empty Hand Controls An officer would approach from which level position to assume the escort position? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Level 2 1/ When handcuffing, tactical considerations are approach to contact, control upon touch and: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Speed in application True or False: Officers should always search before handcuffing? ------ CORRECT ANSWER---------------False When handcuffing gets he first hand of a subject who is in the prone position, what precautions should be taken to prevent the subject from rolling over? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Keep subjects hand below the officers knee
The most applicable Control Principle for an Angle Kick to the Common Peroneal is: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Motor Dysfunction If a pain compliance technique is held too long after a subject has complied with an officer's verbal commands, the subject will either become unconscious or: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Escalate Resistance The most applicable Control Principle for Touch Pressure method of application to the Infra Orbital is: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Pain Compliance The nerve pressure point/nerve motor point located at the base of the neck, just above the sternum where pressure is applied inward and down is the: - -----CORRECT ANSWER---------------Jugular Notch The nerve pressure point/ nerve motor point located at the base of the shin, just above the instep is the: ------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- Superficial Peroneal The nerve motor point/ nerve pressure point located behind the base of the ear lobe, between the Mastoid and the Mandible, where pressure is directed in & forward toward the tip of the nose is the: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Mandibular Angle
The nerve pressure point/ nerve motor point located at the junction where the trapezius muscle connects to the side of the neck where pressure is directed at an angle towards the floor is called the: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Suprascapular The nerve pressure point/ nerve motor point located on the side of the neck, approximately 3 inches from the base, between the 2 groups of Sterno Cleido Mastoid muscle where pressure is applied directly towards the center of the neck ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Brachial Plexus Origin The nerve pressure point/ nerve motor point located on the outside of the leg, above the 6" above the knee is the: ------CORRECT ANSWER------------ ---Common Peroneal What is the striking principle that causes Motor Dysfunction based upon the maximum transfer of kinetic energy? ------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- Fluid Shock Wave The primary target for the straight punch or the palm heel strike is the? -----
