In which situation would you not be authorized to use deadly force?
-
Recovery of nuclear weapons
-
Keep someone from breaking into a house
-
Protect others from imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm
-
Protect yourself from imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm
Correct Answer
A. Keep someone from breaking into a houseExplanation
Using deadly force to keep someone from breaking into a house would not be authorized because it does not involve protecting oneself or others from imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. Deadly force is typically only justified in situations where there is a direct threat to life or severe harm. While protecting property is important, it does not typically warrant the use of deadly force.Rate this question:

-
“SAFE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
-
“FIRE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
-
“SAFE,” and the finger in the trigger guard
-
“FIRE,” and the finger not in the trigger guard
Correct Answer
A. “SAFE,” and the finger not in the trigger guardExplanation
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 minimize the risk of accidental discharge. By keeping the selector weapon on "SAFE" and the finger outside the trigger guard, the soldier ensures that the rifle is not ready to fire and reduces the chance of an unintentional discharge. This allows for better control and decision-making in a potentially dangerous situation.Rate this question:

-
Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer cocked, and finger in the trigger guard
-
Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer not in the trigger guard
Correct Answer
A. Sentry lock disengaged and hood rotated forward, shooting hand on the pistol grip, hammer not in the trigger guardExplanation
This answer is correct because it follows the proper procedure for responding to an actual incident with an M9 pistol. The sentry lock should be disengaged and the hood should be rotated forward. The shooting hand should be on the pistol grip, and the hammer should not be in the trigger guard. This ensures that the pistol is ready to be used if necessary, but also maintains safety by keeping the finger outside of the trigger guard and the hammer not cocked.Rate this question:

You prevent a suspect from stepping through the handcuffs by
-
Locking both handcuffs after applying them on the suspect
-
Applying the handcuffs very tightly to restrict movement
-
Looping the cuffs through the front of the belt below the small of the back
-
Looping the cuffs through the belt below the small of the back
Correct Answer
A. Looping the cuffs through the belt below the small of the backExplanation
Looping the cuffs through the belt below the small of the back prevents the suspect from stepping through the handcuffs. This method creates a secure connection between the handcuffs and the suspect's body, making it difficult for them to manipulate or remove the restraints. By looping the cuffs through the belt, it adds an extra layer of security and restricts the suspect's movement, ensuring they cannot escape from the handcuffs.Rate this question:

-
In slightly, crouch down, and don’t look at the suspect’s feet
Correct Answer
A. Out slightly. Crouch down, and look at the suspect’s feetExplanation
When facing a rear grab hold, the second step is to create a fist, flex your arms slightly, and crouch down. By looking at the suspect's feet, you maintain awareness of their movements and can potentially identify any potential threats or escape opportunities. Looking at the suspect's groin area may not provide useful information and could distract from the situation at hand.

-
To one side
-
At a 90-degree angle
-
Directly behind the suspect
-
Next to the apprehending officer
Correct Answer
A. To one sideExplanation
To one side is the correct answer because standing to one side allows the assisting Security Forces member to have a clear view of the situation and the suspect, while also avoiding obstructing the apprehending officer's line of sight. This position provides an advantage as it allows the assisting member to quickly react and provide support if needed, without interfering with the apprehension process. Standing at a 90-degree angle, directly behind the suspect, or next to the apprehending officer may limit the assisting member's visibility and ability to effectively assist.Rate this question:

-
Head, and knees
-
Legs, and knees
-
Knees, and ankles
-
Head, and legs
Correct Answer
A. Legs, and kneesExplanation
The correct answer is "Legs, and knees". When using a baton on a suspect, the primary target areas are the legs and knees. This is because striking these areas can help to immobilize the suspect and reduce their ability to resist or escape. Targeting the legs can also be less dangerous than targeting the head or other vital areas, as it is less likely to cause severe injury or harm.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. ImpactExplanation
The baton is primarily used as an impact weapon. It is a long, rigid stick typically made of metal or wood, and it is designed to deliver powerful strikes to an opponent. Its main purpose is to cause pain and incapacitate the target through the force of impact. Unlike non-physical or psychological weapons, the baton relies on physical force to subdue or deter an adversary. Although it can potentially be lethal if used with excessive force or in vulnerable areas, its primary function is to deliver impactful blows.Rate this question:

A. Photograph all evidence before anything is moved or touchedExplanation
When audio-visual personnel are not available to document a crime scene, a basic rule is to photograph all evidence before anything is moved or touched. This is important because it preserves the scene as it was initially found, ensuring that no crucial details or evidence are lost or altered. By capturing photographs of the evidence before any disturbance occurs, investigators can provide a visual record of the scene and the position of items, which can be crucial for later analysis and courtroom presentation.Rate this question:

Unlike direct evidence, which directly proves a fact, circumstantial evidence relies on logical deductions and can be used to build a case against a suspect. This type of evidence may include things like motive, opportunity, behavior, or physical evidence that indirectly links a person to the offense.Rate this question:
