QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GUARANTEED A+
"Deadly force threat perception that initiates the SNS discharge," the associated
physiological changes can affect performance. - CORRECT ANSWER: Survival Stress
"The anticipation of danger", this application may lead to a gradual deterioration of both
mental and physical skills. - CORRECT ANSWER: Combat Anxiety
(sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and sixth sense) processed through Short Term Sensory Store (STSS), millisecond to 15 seconds.
SURVIVAL REACTION TIME - CORRECT ANSWER: Perception
6 Feet? - CORRECT ANSWER: Reactionary Gap
2001-2010 Officers feloniously killed with firearm: Distance - CORRECT ANSWER: 0-5
Feet: 51.9%
6-10 Feet: 19.2%
0-10 Feet: 71.1%
A control striking technique that overstimulates nerves, resulting in a temporary muscle
impairment. - CORRECT ANSWER: Motor Dysfunction
A form of temporary amnesia subsequent to a SNS mass discharge, which includes the release of cortisol. This will effect officers memory.
Before First Sleep: general characteristics
After First Sleep: 50%-90%
After Second Sleep: Amnesia should mostly subside. - CORRECT ANSWER: Critical Incident Amnesia
A theory based around the use of an intermediate weapon such as; a straight baton, side handle baton, chemical agents or a electrical control device. This theory allows a specific type of tool to be used to control all levels of resistance, the escalation of force will be determined by the injury potential of each technique. What theory is this? -
CORRECT ANSWER: Total Control Theory
Adrenal and Vascular changes upon activation of the SNS? - CORRECT ANSWER:
Adrenal Activity: The Adrenal Medula acts almost as a separate endocrine gland. It produces hormones, but its nerve fibers also link it with the SNS and are involved in the "fight or flight" response that is triggered by stress. Hormones released include norepinephrine and epinephrine
- / 2
Vascular Activity: Vasoconstriction, reducing the blood flows to the hands and fingers which can reduce dexterity. this can have a negative effect on performance.Vasoconstriction also reduces bleeding, which can be deceptive as serious wounds may not show excessive blood loss during SNS activation.
Around 90 seconds into a confrontation, LAS is depleted and ___ becomes the final and dominant fuel system. Officer maximum output will be reduced to approximately
31%. - CORRECT ANSWER: Aerobic System (AS)
As task difficulty or complexity increases, the optimum level arousal for effective
response decreases. What term is this known as? - CORRECT ANSWER: Inverted-U
Law
As task difficulty or complexity increases, the optimum level of arousal for effective
response decreases. What term is this known as? - CORRECT ANSWER: Inverted-U
Law
Develops a response to control resistive behavior. STM ability to access memory store is indicated by this stage.
SURVIVAL REACTION TIME - CORRECT ANSWER: Formulate A Strategy
Double lock handcuffs? - CORRECT ANSWER: When it is tactically safe to do so.
Elements of Reporting Force - CORRECT ANSWER: Officers Arrival: marked or unmarked unit, in uniform or not, number of officers involved.
Approach: what officer observed upon arriving at scene and their verbal commands
Subjects Action: verbal responses, body language and physical actions of subject.
Officers Action: control methods used, duration of resistance, de-escalation methods, restraint methods used.
Transport Procedure: demeanor and actions included, location and length of transport.
Fluid shockwave dependent on what 3 things. - CORRECT ANSWER: 1.) Velocity
2.) Mass 3.) Energy Duration
Four triggers that activate the SNS?
(1) Objective Threat Perceptions are? - CORRECT ANSWER: Threat is within close
proximity, the time needed to control the threat is minimal, the person is not confident with his/her abilities, or fact that threat perception is new.
