Exam Flashcards
(57 cards)
6 levels of Resistance
- Psychological intimidation - nonverbal cues indicating a subject’s attitude, appearance and physical readiness.
- Verbal Non-compliance - verbal responses indicating unwillingness or threats.
- Passive Resistance - physical actions that do not prevent the officer’s attempt at control.
- Defensive Resistance - physical actions that attempt to prevent the officer’s control, but never attempts to harm the officer.
- Active Resistance - physical actions of assault.
- Aggravated Active Aggression - deadly force encounters
5 levels of Control
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
5 Principles of Control
- Pain compliance
2. Stunning (3-7 seconds)
3. Distraction techniques (weakened motor action)
4. Balance displacement
5. Motor dysfunction (temporary muscle impairment)
two reactions associated with motor dysfunction (Motor Responses)
Flex-reflex response
Sympathetic reflex response
four components of Physical resistance
Brain
Nerves
Effector Nerves
Muscle
What is the distance for a reactionary gap?
Average distance is about six feet, can be farther depending upon special skilled weapons
four stages of reaction time
- Perceive information
- Analyze/Evaluate information
- Formulate strategies/Plans
- Initiate motor action
Most officers have a mental stall in what stage of reaction time
Stage 3, formulating a plan
What is the average reactionary time?
1/2 to 2 seconds, under high stress it can go as high as 12 seconds
What are the two reactionary options to resistance?
Penetrate (engage) - FIGHT
Disengage - FLIGHT
elements of position of address
- Off side forward, gun side back, 45 degree stance
- Feet comfortably spread about shoulder width apart with front foot pointed toward the subject, back foot 45 degrees to the front knees slightly bent
3. HANDS ALWAYS ABOVE WAIST
4. Watch for movements from head to toe……NEUTRAL GAZE
13 Pressure Points
Mandibular angle
Hypoglossal
Infraorbital
Jugular Notch
Brachial Plexus Origin
Brachial Plexus Clavicle Notch
Suprascapular
Brachial Plexus, Tie in
Radial
Median
Common Peroneal
Femoral
TibialAnother name for the Solar plexus is?…….ABDOMINAL BRAIN.
Celiac Plexus
The three methods of application are?
- Touch Pressure
- Quick Penetration
- Striking techniques
The Quick penetration pressure points are?
1-6 above
Which nerve motor point can you apply all three methods of application?
Brachial Plexus
How long does a motor dysfunction last?
30 Seconds to several minutes
What are the two characteristics that make up the fluid shock wave principal?
- Maximizing use of total body mass to increase impact power
- Transfer use of kinetic energy (“sticking”)
What are the five levels of relative positioning?
Inside position - directly in front
Level I- “interview” or “interrogation” position
Level II - side by side
Level II 1/2 - 45 degrees to the rear “escort position”
Level III - directly behind the subject
5 Rules of touch pressure
- Stabilize the location
- Offer counter pressure to the direction of the technique
- Use the tips of the digits
- Use loud repetitive verbal commands
- Alleviate pressure when command are obeyed
How long should you try a particular nerve motor point until trying a different one if it is unsuccessful?
1-2 Seconds
Does a motor dysfunction require pain compliance?
No
Before every joint lock what should you do?
Distraction technique
What are the two control principles achieved with joint locks?
Pain compliance
Balance displacement
