Law enforcement personnel are frequently confronted with the decision to use force to apprehend a suspect. Often, there is only a split second in which to choose the proper course of action.

The limitations to time and knowledge make any use of force decision a challenge. Through extensive training and experience, making the right decision is expected to become nearly instinctive to the officer.
