Physical Intervention for security officers
Physical intervention is a technique used by security officers to restrain or control an individual who is acting aggressively or violently. It is a last resort technique that is only used when all other methods of control have failed or are not possible. Physical intervention should only be used in situations where there is a serious threat of harm to the individual being restrained, to other people, or to property. The use of physical intervention should be proportionate to the level of threat posed by the individual being restrained and should be conducted in a way that minimizes the risk of injury to everyone involved.
