choices he/she has: increasing the number of choices will increase decision time.
Currently there are three methods of training when survival skills are taught. They are: correct
answers Static, Fluid, Dynamic
Static correct answers Where gross muscle movement is taught without any stimulus initiating
action. Techniques are practiced in a slow motion manner without any type of stimulated
resistance allowed. No more than 25 repetitions should be needed. Example: Transport wristlock.
Fluid correct answers Practicing a technique that is now accompanied by simulated but relaxed
resistance. The resistor gives the officer the most common type of resistance that is applicable to
the control method being practiced. This type of training shortens the officer's reaction time and
prevents mental stalls. Example: Transport wristlock and resistance.
Dynamic correct answers This phase of training is designed to duplicate actual resistance the
officers may incur. Dynamic training must be practiced with restraints and supervision to prevent
injury, or keep injury to a minimum. One benefit is that this type of stimulation separates
techniques into those that work and "those that work only in the gym."
3 categories of motor skills correct answers Gross, Fine, and Complex
, Normal Use correct answers Technique used at normal speed with no resistance.
Accelerated Use correct answers Technique done at full speed and with full resistance
SIDS correct answers Sudden in-custody death syndrome
Custody related deaths correct answers Positional Asphyxia, Cocaine Induced Excited Delirium,
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Cocaine Abuse/Toxicity, Excited Delirium
levels of resistance correct answers Psychological Intimidation, Verbal Noncompliance, Passive
Resistance, Defensive resistance, Active Aggression, Deadly Force Assault
Psychological intimidation correct answers Nonverbal cues indicating a subject's attitude,
appearance, and physical readiness. Examples: Karate stance, the finger, fist to palm, up your
arm.
Verbal Noncompliance correct answers Verbal responses indicating unwillingness or threats.
Examples: "Go to hell," "I'm not going," "I'm going to kill you."
Passive resistance correct answers Physical actions that do not prevent officer's attempt to
control. Example: Passive demonstrator sitting on ground.
Defensive Resistance correct answers - Physical actions that attempt to prevent officer's control,
but never attempt to harm the officer. Examples: Pulls away from officer, walks away from
officer.
Active Aggression correct answers Physical actions of assault. Example: Subject punching or
