USE OF FORCE CPD QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
What is the primary objective of using force in law enforcement?


✔✔The primary objective of using force is to ensure compliance and control a situation while

minimizing harm to all parties involved.




What is the difference between "reasonable force" and "excessive force"?


✔✔Reasonable force is the minimum amount of force necessary to achieve a lawful objective,

while excessive force is more than what is necessary and is considered unlawful.




How is "imminent threat" defined in the context of the use of force?


✔✔An imminent threat refers to a situation where a person poses an immediate risk of harm to

others, justifying the use of force for self-defense or protection of others.




What are the key factors to consider when determining the appropriate level of force?


✔✔Key factors include the severity of the threat, the level of resistance encountered, the

potential for harm to officers or others, and the circumstances of the encounter.




1

,What does "de-escalation" mean in law enforcement?


✔✔De-escalation refers to techniques used by officers to reduce tension and avoid the use of

force by communicating effectively and using non-confrontational approaches.




What is the role of "use of force continuum" in law enforcement?


✔✔The use of force continuum is a guideline that outlines the escalating levels of force an

officer can use in response to an individual's behavior, starting from verbal commands to lethal

force.




How does "self-defense" justify the use of force?


✔✔Self-defense justifies the use of force when an individual reasonably believes they are in

imminent danger of harm and that force is necessary to prevent that harm.




What is "non-lethal force," and when is it typically used?


✔✔Non-lethal force refers to methods intended to incapacitate a person without causing

permanent injury, often used in situations where lethal force is not warranted.




What are "impact weapons," and when can they be used?




2

, ✔✔Impact weapons, such as batons or expandable batons, can be used to apply force to control a

subject when other methods are ineffective or inappropriate.




What is the significance of "officer discretion" in the use of force?


✔✔Officer discretion allows law enforcement officers to assess situations and decide the most

appropriate level of force based on their training and the specific circumstances.




What constitutes "justifiable use of deadly force"?


✔✔Justifiable use of deadly force occurs when an officer believes that their life or the lives of

others are in imminent danger, and no other options are available to prevent harm.




What is the concept of "reasonable officer standard"?


✔✔The reasonable officer standard evaluates the actions of an officer based on what a similarly

trained and experienced officer would do in the same situation.




How do "policies and procedures" influence the use of force by officers?


✔✔Policies and procedures provide guidelines for officers on how to respond to various

situations, ensuring that the use of force is consistent with departmental standards and legal

requirements.
