Perform the Compliant-Subject Escort Position (191-376-5201) (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 encounter a passively resistant subject who does not respond to verbal commands and must be escorted from the immediate area.
Standards: You correctly place the subject into a compliant-subject escort position without hesitation, while maintaining the position of advantage. You perform the required steps in sequence.
Performance Steps
1. Assume the basic stance.
2. Provide instruction to the subject as needed.
3. Close the gap between yourself and the subject using an appropriate pattern of movement.
4. Grip the subject's elbow with your strong hand, and guide the subject in the desired direction. As the subject begins to move, grip his wrist with your support hand (the palm of your support hand should be to the back of the subject's hand, and your thumb, index, and middle fingers should be around his wrist). Move your support hand with the subject's controlled wrist to the front of your support hip, keeping your elbows in.
5. Move behind the controlled arm, next to and slightly behind the subject, (45-degree angle) to the position of advantage. Face the same direction the subject is facing.
6. Position the subject's controlled arm diagonally in front of you, running from the subject's shoulder to your support hip. Position the subject's controlled forearm against your body and the subject's controlled wrist at your support hip. Maintain this position while escorting the subject, changing directions, or when stationary.
7. Position your feet in the basic stance when you are not moving. Provide instructions to guide the subject, and escort the subject to the desired location. Continue the compliant-subject escort position as required for control or safety, or release the subject.
8. Prepare to respond to the subject's resistance by using an alternate reasonable use-of-force technique, or use the compliant-escort position to push the subject away and escalate force to reasonably control the subject.
Perform the Noncompliant-Subject Escort Position (191-376-5202)
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 encounter a passively resistant subject who does not respond to verbal commands and becomes physically resistant while in a compliant-subject escort position.
Standards: You correctly transition from a compliant-subject escort position (see Task 191-376-5201) to a noncompliant-subject escort position without hesitation.
Performance Steps
1. Tell the subject to place one hand on top of his head, and provide other instruction to him as needed.
2. Rotate the subject's wrist sharply in toward your body with your support hand as you firmly move and position the subject's wrist at your support hip.
3. Increase the pressure of your grip on the upper arm just above the elbow with your strong hand, while keeping your elbows in, or release the elbow and move your strong hand/forearm under and to the front of the controlled arm. Sharply raise your forearm up, applying the thumb side of your forearm firmly against the subject's biceps.
4. Lock out the subject's arm and elbow against your body by applying force at both of your hand positions or by pulling in with your forearm against the subject's biceps and pulling back on the subject's controlled wrist.
5. Continue to issue verbal commands.
