Abstract:BACKGROUND: Public safety relies on the efficient apprehension of non-compliant suspects. However, quantifying the minimum force required to destabilize an actively resistive suspect has remained a challenge. OBJECTIVE: To examine the technical-tactical behaviors of general duty police officers during simulated apprehensions and quantify the minimum force required to destabilize non-compliant suspects. METHODS: Task simulations conducted with 91 officers were analyzed to identify common grappling movements, st… Show more
