    Study Notes

    40 mm Launcher

    • Single or multi-round launcher for specialty impact munitions approved by the department.
    • Prohibited for crowd control.

    Active Aggression

    • Overt act or threat of an assault with the present ability to carry out the action.
    • Reasonable indication of an assault or injury to a person.
    • Examples: missile throwing, laser deployment, incendiary devices, setting fires.

    Aggravated Active Aggression

    • Lethal force encounter.
    • Actions with or without weapons likely to result in death or serious injury.
    • Requires referral to OMS titled "Lethal Force – CRS 18-1-707 (2) & (3)".

    Arrest Teams

    • Organized group of officers for identifying law violators and making arrests.

    Carotid Compression Technique

    • Used to incapacitate combative or physically resistive individuals during aggravated active aggression.
    • Compresses carotid arteries, reducing oxygenated blood flow to the brain, leading to unconsciousness.
    • Prohibited by the department.

    CEW/TASER

    • Conducted electrical weapon using electrical signals to temporarily disrupt the motor and sensory nervous system.

    Chemical Agents and Munitions

    • Include OC (Oleoresin Capsicum), Mk-9, MK-60, PepperBall® system, OC canister munitions, and other OC delivery systems.
    • Used for preventing or overcoming resistance, assault, or dispersing crowds.

    Command Presence

    • Force level requiring no physical contact.
    • Officer uses persuasion and influence without physical touch.

    Crowd Control

    • Techniques for protecting lawful assemblies and free speech activities by addressing larger scale or violent unlawful activities.
    • Includes expanded use of Crowd Management and Crowd Intervention tactics with increased police presence.
    • Crowd Dispersal tactics may be necessary with prepared group arrest procedures.

    Crowd Dispersal

    • Methods and techniques for scattering, disbanding, or breaking up a crowd.
    • Requires Incident Command declaration of an Unlawful Assembly unless exigent circumstances exist.
    • Incident Command authorizes dispersal orders, including direction and time to comply, before dispersing the crowd.

    Crowd Intervention

    • Techniques addressing individual unlawful behavior by controlling, dispersing, or arresting specific individuals engaging in unlawful conduct.
    • Aims to de-escalate crowd behavior, enabling lawful assemblies and free speech activities to continue.

    Crowd Management

    • Techniques for addressing lawful assemblies before and during the event to guarantee a lawful assembly.
    • Includes coordination with event planners and group leaders, permit monitoring, past event critiques, area control, traffic control, and crowd movement control.
    • Also includes future planning after an event.

    Defensive Resistance

    • Physical actions preventing an officer's control, such as flight or attempts to flee without harm to the officer.
    • Includes "turtling," where an individual pulls their arms/legs to their chest to prevent access and control by an officer.
    • During an unlawful assembly with dispersal orders, activities like using umbrellas, shields, gas masks, and protestor devices while failing to comply are considered defensive resistance.
    • Prior to crowd dispersal, persons with these items are not considered resistive but individual actions, behavior, and equipment may warrant reasonable suspicion depending on the circumstances.

    Defensive Tactics

    • Physical force techniques for self-defense and controlling resistive situations.

    Field Force Tactics

    • Maneuvers used by one or more squads of officers to manage or control crowds.

    Hand Control

    • Physical restraint techniques like gripping, wristlocks, come-along holds, and non-impact pain compliance methods like joint manipulation and pressure point techniques.
    • Used to prevent or overcome resistance and/or assault to place someone in custody.

    Impact Tool

    • Authorized baton for strikes as a means of self-defense or protection of others.

    Less Lethal Weapon and Munitions

    • Department approved crowd control weapons like the PepperBall® system and CEW/TASER.
    • Designed to have less potential for causing death or serious bodily injury than police lethal weapons.

    Mass Arrest Processing Teams

    • Teams of officers deployed independently to perform on-site arrest processing.
