| INSTRUCTIONS FOR
TAKING THE ACTION-RESPONSE SURVEY |
|
|
| When you are taking this survey there are a few things that should be keep in
mind: |
-
The subject has been informed that he is under arrest
-
It is a legal and lawful arrest
-
The subject knows that he is under arrest. He is not in hypoglycemic shock,
etc.
-
The subject is intentionally resisting the officer’s attempts at control
|
-
For standardization purposes it is necessary to watch the video segment
prior to marking your survey decision.
-
If you think that the control methods being used are reasonable, mark "agree".
-
If you think that any of the control method demonstrated in that video segment
is unreasonable, mark “disagree” but then indicate which technique(s) you
think is excessive.
-
Please do not mark “disagree” if you believe that too little force is being
used, only if you think that the control methods shown are excessive.
-
Only make your decisions based on what you truly believe and would be willing
to swear to in court, not what any policy or trainer has told you.
Do not mark “disagree” if the technique demonstrated is not
what you would have chosen to use at that moment, only if you believe that the
technique demonstrated would be excessive for any officer to use against the
level of resistance demonstrated.
-
Realize that not all officers are trained or equipped equally, so would the
technique(s) demonstrated be excessive for any officer to use.
-
No special effects like blood, etc. were used because we did not want to bias
the survey. Please focus on the actions of the subject and the responses of the
officer demonstrate.
-
After the video survey, there is a section that asks how much of a threat you
think the action described would be to you personally, if you were faced with
controlling that action. It is listed on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the
lowest and 10 being the greatest.
