Explanation
In this scenario, the correct answer is "SAFE," and the finger not in the trigger guard. This is because when encountering an armed adversary, it is important to prioritize safety and maintain control over the weapon. By keeping the selector switch on "SAFE," the rifle is in a locked position, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. Additionally, by keeping the finger outside the trigger guard, the chances of unintentionally pulling the trigger are minimized, ensuring the safety of oneself and others in the vicinity.

Explanation
Looping the cuffs through the belt below the small of the back prevents a suspect from stepping through the handcuffs because it creates a physical barrier that restricts their movement. By securing the handcuffs to the belt, it prevents the suspect from being able to lift their hands over their head or manipulate the handcuffs in a way that would allow them to escape. This technique adds an extra layer of security and ensures that the suspect remains restrained and unable to free themselves.

- A.
  
  Wall
- B.
  
  Prone
- C.

B. Prone

Explanation
Prone search is best suited for high-risk situations or multiple apprehensions because it provides the searcher with a lower profile, making it harder for the suspect to detect them. In a high-risk situation, where the suspect may be armed or dangerous, a prone search allows the searcher to move stealthily and avoid being easily seen or targeted. Additionally, in situations where there are multiple suspects or apprehensions needed, a prone search allows for efficient and effective coverage of the area, as the searcher can quickly move from one target to another while remaining hidden.

Explanation
To use the chest grab technique when being pushed/grabbed, the correct way is to trap the suspect's hand by grabbing their arm below the elbow. The palms should be facing down, thumbs down, and the suspect's hand should be trapped on your chest. This position provides better control and leverage over the suspect's arm, making it more difficult for them to escape or continue their attack.

Correct Answer
C. Out slightly. Crouch down, and look at the suspect’s feet

Explanation
The correct answer is to "Out slightly, crouch down, and look at the suspect's feet." This is the second step in overcoming a rear grab hold. By moving your arms out slightly, you create space between yourself and the suspect, making it harder for them to maintain their grip. Crouching down lowers your center of gravity, making it easier for you to regain control. Looking at the suspect's feet can help you anticipate any potential movements or attempts to escape, allowing you to react quickly and effectively.
