Ppct Use Of Force

Front 1

What Is PPCT and it's History

Back 1

PRESSURE POINT CONTROL TACTICS,

FOUNDED 1979 BY BRUCE SIDDLE

Front 2

Tactically

Back 2

Techniques in the system are easy to learn and retain

Front 3

Medically

Back 3

Medical implications of a technique used in the appropriate method

Front 4

Legally

Back 4

PPCT has developed a force continuum based upon non-lethal force and lethal force

Front 5

Static Training

Back 5

Where gross muscle movement is taught without any stimulus initiating action

Front 6

Fluid Training

Back 6

Practicing a technique that it is now accompanied by simulated but relaxed resistance

Front 7

Dynamic Training

Back 7

This phase of training is designed to duplicate actual resistance the officers may incur

Front 8

Gross Motor Skills

Back 8

Large muscle movement

ex: legs and arms

Front 9

Fine Motor Skills

Back 9

Small Muscle movement

ex:fingers and hands

Front 10

Complex Motor Skills

Back 10

Series of movements; hand eye coordination skills

ex: shooting, hitting balls

Front 11

Positional Asphyxia

Back 11

Lack of oxygen and increase in carbon dioxide in the blood of the subject, brought about by a subject being in a position that restricts breathing

Front 12

Cocaine Induced Excited Delirium

Back 12

Aka cocaine psycosis

Front 13

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)

Back 13

Charecteristics are similar to cocaine Induced Excited Delirium but NMS occurs in psychiatric patients who are taking anti-psycotic medication

Front 14

Cocaine Abuse/Toxicity

Back 14

Cocaine is an agent that stimulates both the central nervous and cardiovascular systems

Front 15

Excited Delirium

Back 15

State of extreme mental and physiological excitement,charecterized by extreme agitation, hyperthermia, hostility, exceptional strength and endurance without apparent fatigue

Front 16

Components of Acceptability

Back 16

Tactically

Mentally

Legally

Front 17

Most Common Types of Resistive Behavior

(RRPA)

Back 17

Resistance from the escort position

Resistance while applying handcuffs

Passive resistance

Active aggression

Front 18

Case Law (Graham V. Connor) Related to Force Continuum

Back 18

The PPCT force continuum was developed using case law as a guide to the proper use of force

Front 19

Use of Force Guidelines

Back 19

1. All force must be reasonable

2. All force must be necessary

3. Officers actions will depend on the subjects actions, variables of the situation and the officers knowledge of his/her own physical abilities

Front 20

Levels of Resistance

Back 20

1. Psychological intimidation

2. Verbal Noncompliance

3. Passive Resistance

4. Defensive Resistance

5. Active Aggression

6. Deadly force assault

Front 21

Levels of Control

Back 21

1. Officer presence

2. Verbal direction

3. Empty hand control

A. Soft empty hand control

B. Hard empty band control

4. Intermediate weapons

5. Deadly force

Front 22

Elements of Deadly Force

Back 22

1. Ability- the capability or means to cause great bodily harm or death

2. Opportunity - in a position to cause great bodily harm or death

3. Jeopardy- an overt threatening move or gesture that could cause great bodily harm or death

Front 23

Case of Law That Impacts the Use of Deadly Force

Back 23

Tennessee V. Garner

Front 24

Deadly Force Justification

Back 24

1. To prevent death or serious injury to officer or another

2. To prevent escape

3. The officer should not unreasonably or unnecessarily endanger himself/herself or the public in the application of Deadly Force

4. The officer should use verbal commands of authority and deterrence whenever feasible

Front 25

Force Continuum Variables

Back 25

1. Type of crime

2. Officer/subject size and gender

3. Exigent conditions

4. Reaction time

5. Access of weapons

6. Influence of alcohol or drugs

7. Injury or exhaustion of officer

8. Weather or terrain conditions

9. Special knowledge

Front 26

Elements of Reporting Deadly Force

Back 26

1. Officer arrival

2. Approach

3. Subjects action

4. Officers action

5. Transport procedure

Front 27

Pain Compliance

Back 27

Use of stimulus pain to control resistive behavior

Front 28

Distraction Technique

Back 28

Control techniques that weaken motor action by changing the thought process

Front 29

Balance Displacement

Back 29

Control techniques that displace balance through principles of leverage

Front 30

Motor Dysfunction

Back 30

Charlie horse

Front 31

Stunning

Back 31

Stimulation of overwhelming sensory input

Average stun last 3-7 seconds

Front 32

Principles of Controlling Resistive Behavior
