Under which circumstance may the Physical Control Force Response Option be considered?

The Physical Control Force Response Option is appropriate in situations where presence and communication have failed to achieve the desired outcome in a confrontation or interaction. This option is often considered a last resort to ensure the safety of both the responding personnel and the subject involved. When communication techniques do not succeed in de-escalating a situation or gaining compliance from an individual, physical control methods may be necessary to control the subject effectively and mitigate potential risks.

In contrast, employing physical control techniques when a subject is compliant would be unnecessary and potentially harmful. Similarly, using such measures during a training exercise does not apply in a real-world context, as training environments often entail different standards and expectations. Lastly, a passive subject may not pose an immediate threat, thus reducing the need for physical force. Therefore, the context in which presence and communication fail is critical for justifying the use of physical control methods.
