OSH Security Practice Test

You should complete a Use of Force report when

1. You have to escort someone off property

2. Only when you use hard physical control techniques

3. The arrested person submits a complaint about being arrested

4. The force used results in an injury to a subject that requires medical attention

The correct answer is: The force used results in an injury to a subject that requires medical attention

Completing a Use of Force report is essential when the force applied results in an injury to the subject that requires medical attention. This is important for several reasons: 1. **Accountability**: Documenting the incident ensures that there is a record of the actions taken, which is crucial for accountability for both the officer involved and the organization. 2. **Legal Compliance**: In many jurisdictions, law enforcement and security agencies are mandated to report incidents involving the use of force, especially when they lead to an injury. This aligns with policies designed to protect both individuals' rights and the integrity of the agency. 3. **Review and Training**: Such reports allow supervisors and trainers to review incidents and assess whether the application of force was justified and within policy. This can lead to improved training and protocols in the future, enhancing overall safety and effectiveness. In contrast, while escorting someone off the property could involve physical contact, it does not inherently escalate to the use of force necessitating documentation unless injury occurs. Similarly, complaints from individuals about their arrest may warrant attention but do not automatically require a Use of Force report unless physical force was involved resulting in an injury. Lastly, using hard physical control techniques does not, by itself, necessitate a report
