- 4. Use of force The right to use force is a right of an individual or authority to settle conflicts or prevent certain actions by using force to either: a) dissuade another party from a particular course of action, or b) physically intervene to stop them. In nations of the developed world and the developing world, governments allow police, citizen, corrections, or other security personnel to employ force to actively prevent imminent commission of crime, or even for deterrence. It may also be exercised by the executive branch (i.e., through the president, prime minister, premier, governor, or mayor) of a political jurisdiction, deploying the police or military to maintain public order. The use of force is governed by statute and is usually authorized in a progressive series of actions, referred to as a "use of force continuum. Use of force continuum: The use of force may be standardized by a use of force continuum, which presents guidelines as to the degree of force appropriate in a given situation. One source identifies five very generalized steps, increasing from least use of force to greatest. It is only one side of the model, as it does not give the levels of subject resistance that merit the corresponding increases in force. Each successive level of force is meant to describe an escalating series of actions an officer may take to resolve a situation, and the level of force used rises only when a lower level of force would be ineffective in dealing with the situation. 1. Presence (using the effect of the presence of an authority figure on a subject) 2.Verbalization (commanding a subject) 3.Empty hand control (using empty hands to search, relieve weapons, immobilize, or otherwise control a subject) 4.Intermediate weapons (using non-lethal chemical, electronic or impact weapons on a subject) 5.Deadly Force (using any force likely to cause permanent injury or death to a subject) Use of force continuums can be further broken down. For example: You arrive on a person with a knife - Tell suspect to drop the knife

- 9. Roger & wilco Roger = I have heard and understood your transmission. Wilco = I have heard and understood your instructions, and will comply with them. Thus: Roger Wilco = I have heard and understood your transmission, and I have heard and understood your instructions, and will comply with them. Roger Wilco is poor radio etiquette, and should not be said. In any unit I served in or with, saying that would have gotten you kicked off the radio. Instead, you just say, “Wilco.” 'Out' 'Out' doesn't necessarily mean you are shutting down or switching channels. It just means you have said and heard all you need to say and hear, and you are ending that conversation. There are 2 schools of thought on “out”. One school says that the originator of a radio conversation always finishes it, and thus is the one who should say 'out'. The second school says that you never 'out' higher (i.e. you never tell someone who outranks you that the conversation is over; they tell you when it is over). In practice (officers being officers), the latter is more common PHASE ONE COMPLETE
- 10. PHASE TWO START Emergency vehicle operation Siren tones (L= Lights, S=Siren) Code 1 No L/S fallowing all traffic signals Code 2 L on and S only to clear intersections and move traffic Code 3 L and S on fully Wail the most used tone good for driving down straight roads and non-busy intersections Yelp used for busy roads and busy intersections Hyperyelp or phase used for extreme conditions I.E going down the wrong way on a street or extremely busy road Airhorn used as an addon to get the attention of bystanders and traffic
- 11. Driving Courses (I.G) 1. Intersections You will drive down the traffic ways on the airport and every time you come to an intersection you will turn making use of the sirens and a second instructor as civilian traffic until you have completed one stretch of the runway 2. Close quarter driving Using the parking garage at the airport the student will drive into the garage proceeding up to the top floor than driving back down grading the damage to the students car if the car is smoking or heavily damaged the student MUST repeat this segment 3. Wet Road Using the dirt track at the airport the student will drive down the entire road from one end to the other until student reaches the pavement the student has 3 chances if his unit completely leaves the road he will stop the instructor will take note and he will continue if all 3 chances have been used this student must repeat the segment
- 12. Traffic Stops 2 instructors will be needed 1 as the civilian 1 as another 32 1. 10-11s The student will park with their front bumper angled out from behind the suspects’ car ( the students bumper should be 3-4 feet away from the suspects’ car)
- 13. 2. 10-11 with another 32 (non felony) the instructor will than teach how to park with another unit on standby this is with the other 32 6-7 feet behind the initial pull over unit
- 14. 3. 10-11 with 32 felony stop the second arriving unit will disable lcpdfr and park beside the first 32 with their nose of the car pointing towards the suspects’ car creating a V shape
- 15. Intermediate weapons Following the use of force guide the next step after you trying to grab the subject and he is noncompliant this is the next step. Intermediate weapons is a term used for less than lethal weapons this includes beanbag rounds, peperball, Tasers, OC spray, CS gas and other less than lethal weapons. One of the best weapons to start with is your baton witch every officer is issued. If the subject is still noncompliant or has weapons this includes but not limited to a knife or a fire arm not in play (fire arm is down but still in suspects hands) in this case the next step would be the TASER. A Taser is an electroshock weapon sold by Taser International. It uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles causing "neuromuscular incapacitation". Someone struck by a Taser experiences stimulation of his or her sensory nerves and motor nerves, resulting in strong involuntary muscle contractions. Tasers do not rely only on pain compliance, except when used in Drive Stun mode, and are thus preferred by some law enforcement over non-Taser stun guns and other electronic control weapons. You can activate this in LCPDFR by ALT+T you will need to keep the suspect tased by re engaging the subject until another officer arrives. Firearms Fire arms is the officers last resort in the use of force continuum this means all other attempts or resources have failed and the subject is getting more violent and may cause severe bodily harm or death. When engaging a subject you will fire two (2) rounds into mid mass (torso) of the subject this should take down most people. If not you will go to what is known as the failure drill this is where you fire a double tap (2 rounds) into the subjects torso and one in the head. Head shots are NOT recommended for the initial engagement due to harder to hit and the risk of ricochet. Tactical Movement Remember life before limb! Use cover there are two types of cover. Concealment cover and hard cover. Concealment cover and hard cover are best used together for example hiding behind a cruiser or a car or building. Concealment cover is something that will hide your body and will be hard to spot from a distance but may not be bullet proof. Hard cover is cover that offers bullet resistant material for example a median or a wall that may stop bullets but may be seen from a distance and be obvious for the subject. Your best cover will be your car if you can stay near your engine block this provides the most cover as bullets have trouble piercing through its doors are not recommended due to the lack of armour in the doors.
