Discuss why making arrests increases the risk of police officers being injured.
What will be an ideal response?
Officers are at an elevated risk for injury while making arrests. Resistant subjects pose a threat, as an officer may injure himself or be injured by the suspect when the officer employs force to restrain the resisting suspect. Officers are more likely to be injured using bodily force, like focused strikes, to overcome the resisting subject than they are when employing weapon-based force.
