Why may an SP opt to use Physical Control Force?

An SP may opt to use Physical Control Force when verbal skills fail because it serves as a necessary escalation in the use of force continuum, particularly in situations where verbal de-escalation does not yield the desired outcome. In instances where individuals are non-compliant, aggressive, or pose an immediate threat to themselves or others, physical control may become essential to ensure safety. This method allows the security personnel to regain control of a situation effectively and provides a tangible means of enforcing compliance when communication has broken down.

The other options do not accurately reflect the appropriate decision-making process for using physical force. Using it as a first response in all situations would be impractical and potentially escalate the situation unnecessarily. Relying on physical force solely to show authority undermines the importance of communication and conflict resolution skills. Lastly, limiting its application to training scenarios does not acknowledge the real-world situations where it may be necessary to implement physical control in the field.
