Frequently Asked Questions

What legal considerations apply when using a vehicle as deadly force?

Using a vehicle to strike someone is considered deadly force. Legally, it should generally only be employed to stop an immediate deadly threat to oneself or others to avoid potential prosecution.

Why is situational awareness important in transitional spaces?

Transitional spaces, like parking lots or street corners, are areas where people are often distracted. Maintaining high situational awareness in these zones helps prevent becoming an easy target for predators.

What are the risks associated with intervening in a third-party encounter?

Intervening in situations involving others carries significant risks. It's advised to have pre-determined criteria for intervention to avoid making poor split-second decisions that could escalate danger.

Should you chase a fleeing suspect?

No, chasing a fleeing suspect is generally not advised. While the intent may be to protect the victim, it creates a non-zero risk that the suspect could turn back and present a weapon.
