In his article "Proper Use of Force," Eugene Nielsen, published by USCCA, explores the crucial considerations surrounding self-defense scenarios. Nielsen emphasizes the significance of the use of force continuum in guiding individuals, from law enforcement officers to civilians, on appropriate response levels. Through a breakdown of the continuum's levels, Nielsen underscores the importance of understanding legal implications and exercising judgment in employing force, advocating for informed decision-making and preparedness during self-defense incidents.
If you’re training and carrying concealed for self-defense, you likely want to know when you can use deadly force. The use of force continuum is a concept that guides law enforcement officers in determining the appropriate level of force to use in response to a situation.
The continuum of force consists of several levels, ranging from officer presence and verbal commands to lethal force. The continuum can help to de-escalate situations and determine only the necessary amount of force. The use-of-force continuum also provides a framework for officers to justify and explain their use of force decisions and actions.
