The assessment process from the National Use of Force Framework is what?

  1. Profiled Subject Behaviours

  2. Assess, Plan ,Act

  3. Act, Assess, Plan

  4. Plan Officer Response Options

The correct answer is: Assess, Plan ,Act

The correct answer is "Assess, Plan, Act". This pertains to the National Use of Force Framework in Canada, which is an evidence-based tool designed to guide law enforcement personnel, including security guards, through the decision-making process before, during, and after extreme situations that may necessitate the use of force. The process requires the individual to first "Assess" the situation to understand the potential threats and risks, then to "Plan", based on that assessment, determining the best approach to respond to the situation. Lastly, the individual must "Act" upon that plan. This process embodies the dynamic and fluid nature of situations security professionals may encounter, requiring constant reassessment and adjustment in response to situational changes. It is used to ensure responses are proportionate, justified, and minimise harm, while maximising safety.
