Q

Frontal position

A

Directly in front of suspect

25
Frontal oblique strong side
Firearm is outside of suspect
26
Frontal oblique support side
Firearm is inside of suspect
27
Reactionary gap
Safety zone between the officer and suspect. Minimum 6 ft
28
What dictates an officer decision to escalate or de escalate?
Time, space, distance
29
What is the perception stage of reaction time?
Identify pre-attack cues; expect resistance; play what if game
30
What is the analyze stage of reaction time?
Using the 5 senses to a evaluate a situation
31
What is the formulate strategies stage of reaction time?
Develop a plan based on prior experiences or training; without it a mental stall could occur
32
Initiate motor action stage
Brain tells the body to respond; without a plan this will not occur
33
What is the average Reaction time ?
0.5-2 seconds;
34
How is the sympathetic nervous system activated?
Norepinephrine is released to prepare body for initial stage of stress; if stress stops the body goes back to normal; if stress persists, the body produces epinephrine to activate body
35
What effects does sympathetic nervous system have on the body?
Stimulation of adrenal gland; increased heart rate; increase in glucose; widening of airways; dilation pupils; digestion slowed; bladder relaxstion
36
What is the relationship between SNS and combat performance?
Pupils dilate; tunnel vision; loss of focus; loss of depth perception
37
Hicks law
Decision making time depends on the possible choices. More choices, more time
38
Triggers of pNS nervous system?
Perception diminished; perception of injury; trauma to vital system; exhaustion of aerobic and aneorobic systems
39
PNS backlash symptoms
Dizziness; excessive bleeding; shock; exhaustion; muscle tremors
40
What are the effects of critical incident amnesia?
Memory before 1st sleep period includes general characteristics of incident, weapon, assailant.
41
Memory after first sleep period is increased by?
50-90%
42
Memory after second sleep period is?
Almost complete and final
43
What are the combat performance variables?
Mindset; motor skill selection; nutrition&hydratiom; fitness; belief system
44
Fast burning carbs leads to?
Increased fatigue
45
Slow burning carbs leads to?
Energy
46
ATP/PC
Small energy bundles stored in muscles; limited to 10-15 seconds; once depleted, performance drops 45% within 30sec. powerful moves like knee strike or heavy lifting
47
Lactic acid system
After burner fuel; active from 15 sec to 2 minutes
48
Aerobic system
Long term energy system dependent on cardio.
49
Methods to reduce survival stress
Confidence factor; motor skill selection; tactical breathing; visualization drills; faith factor
50
Positional asphyxia
Lack of oxygen and increase carbon dioxide in bloodstream caused by restricted breathing
51
Cocaine psychosis
Possible lethal medical emergency; intense paranoia and violent behavior; sudden death may occur during or after struggle
52
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
Occurs with psychiatric patients on antipsychotic meds. Should be taken to medical facility immediately. Symptoms are fluctuating levels of consciousness
53
Cocaine abuse
Agent that stimulates central nervous and cardiovascular systems; constricts blood vessels; elevates heart rate
54
ANS system
Controls involuntary actions and divided into 2 branches
55
Homeostasis
Organisms ability to maintain steady state internal environment
56
Parasympathetic nervous system
Maintains homeostasis while at rest. Primarily stores energy “rest and digest system”
57
Sympathetic nervous system
Nicknamed “fight or flight” division; active during exercise, excitement, emergency
