Active Resistant Right Ans - Subject does not physically assault the SP but
actively resists in a way that will not allow the SP to gain control. This type of
resistance is often accompanied by verbal non-compliance (refusing a lawful
order or direction)
Cooperative Right Ans - The person responds positively to the SP's
presence, direction, and commands.
Assaultive Right Ans - A type of demonstrated subject behaviour. The
subject not only resists the SP's actions but actually tries to physically assault
him or her. This type of behaviour is sometimes preceded by verbal non-
compliance and pre-assault cues, such as facial expressions, clenching of fists,
threats, etc .
Communication Right Ans - One of the response options indicated in the
National Use of Force Framework. It involves the use of verbal skills and non-
verbal skills. An SP may give the subject suggestions, advice, directions,
and/or loud, repetitive commands, while using facial expressions, stance, eye
contact, etc .
Continuous Assessment Process Right Ans - A component of the National
Use of Force Framework depicted in the inner circle of the graphic. It is a
process that enables SPs to respond appropriately to changing circumstances
in a timely manner. It consists of four steps: Assess, Plan, Act, Re-assess
Deadly Force Right Ans - Force that can cause death or grievous bodily
harm .
Disengagement Right Ans - Putting distance or a barrier between yourself

sometimes extremely violent, often engaging in a vigorous struggle with those
trying to control him or her, and may end up dying suddenly.
Grievous Bodily Harm / Death Right Ans - A type of demonstrated subject
behaviour. The subject violently resists and attempts to seriously harm or kill
the SP.

subject displays aggressive behaviour; there are multiple subjects; weapons
are used; credible information is known that suggests that the subject or the
situation is high-risk. An-unknown subject-could present-a high-risk.
Influencing Factors Right Ans - One category of factors that SPs must
consider in the continuous assessment process. Influencing factors relate to
the totality of the circumstances in terms of SP considerations, subject
considerations, and environmental considerations.
Intermediate Weapons Right Ans - One of the response options indicated in
the National Use of Force Framework. It represents the use of weapons that
are considered intermediate between physical control and the use of firearms.
Interview Position Right Ans - A position that lies outside the range of the
subject's ability to kick the SP. Ideally, not directly in front of the subject.
Known Risk Right Ans - The level of risk that exists when the SP has
encountered the subject in the past and is familiar with his or her behavioural
patterns, and/or credible information about the subject or the situation is
known.
