The goal is to provide officers with an understanding of the various force options available to them, and to make them aware of international standards, regarding use of force. The use of force is a necessary and at times unavoidable part of the duty of a law enforcement officer. Officers should use no more force than is absolutely necessary to achieve a legitimate law enforcement objective. During their normal duties, officers often encounter various levels of dangerous and violent situations. They are often faced with situations that require the use of force in order to effect an arrest or ensure public safety. Resistance can be physical, verbal, and even psychological in nature. Sometimes, the officer has to use force and even firearms to bring the situation to an end. The authority to use force and firearms is a very exclusive one. There are many restrictions for their use. The essential principles for the use of force are those of legality, necessity, and proportionality. The objective for using force is to overcome the suspect' s resistance to an officer's lawful purpose. The officer must be able to articulate why a specific use of force was justified. The officer's justifications to use force must be so clear to the officer involved that he would not hesitate when faced with this decision. The consequences of hesitation or inaction because of inadequate training can be devastating. Therefore, the officer must carefully consider the use of force. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
