Apply Wristlocks (191-376-5204) (2003 STP)
Conditions: You are performing law enforcement or security duties and wearing the appropriate gear according to the local or unit standing operating procedure (SOP). You have placed a subject in an escort position, and suddenly the subject increases resistance by pulling away.
Standards: Place the subject in a front- or rear-wristlock position by performing all steps in order and without hesitation.
Performance Steps
1. Demonstrate a front wristlock.
a. Provide instruction to the subject as needed.
b. Move in the direction of the subject's resistance (for example, if the subject pulls you in, you move in), and use the appropriate pattern of movement to maintain your balance.
c. Lower your center of gravity and widen your stance when you stop moving.
d. Rotate your support hand over the back of the subject's hand and firmly apply wrist compression by bending his palm back toward the wrist. Simultaneously stabilize the subject's upper arm with your strong hand.
e. Shoot your support hand/forearm between the subject's upper arm and torso while opening your strong hand in anticipation of placing it over your support hand.
f. Keep the subject's controlled elbow against the bend of your elbow by continuing to firmly apply wrist compression with your support hand. Place your support hand on top of your strong hand and continue to apply wrist compression with both hands. Be ready to block with your support hand.
g. Tell the subject to put his free hand on top of his head and not to resist you. Keep the controlled arm in close to your support side as you move the subject away.
2. Demonstrate a rear wristlock.
a. Provide instruction to the subject as needed.
b. Move in the direction of the subject's resistance (for example, if the subject pulls you in, you move in), and use the appropriate pattern of movement to maintain your balance.
c. Lower your center of gravity and widen your stance when you stop moving.
d. Rotate your support hand over to the back of the subject's hand and firmly apply wrist compression by bending his palm back toward the wrist. Simultaneously stabilize the subject's upper arm with your strong hand.
e. Place the controlled elbow above your belt, against your body, and into the crook of your support elbow. Continue to firmly apply wrist compression with your support hand.
f. Keep the controlled arm in close to your torso as you move the subject. You and the subject should form an "L" shape, touching at the shoulders. Grip the subject's free arm at the elbow with your strong hand and pull it toward the wristlock. Force the subject to side step as you walk normally. This will keep the subject off balance.
