Describe police use of force as set forth in the Dynamic Resistance Response Model (DRRM), including its application to four broad categories of suspects.

What will be an ideal response?


Known as the Dynamic Resistance Response Model (DRRM), this approach combines a use of force continuum with an application of four broad categories of suspects. Dynamic indicates that the model is fluid, and resistance demonstrates that the suspect controls the interaction. In this view, a major failing of past continuums has been that the emphasis is on the officer and the amount of force used. DRRM instead emphasizes that the suspect’s level of resistance determines the officer’s response. The four categories include passive resistance, dynamic resistance, no resistance, and aggressive resistance.
