Which of the following would NOT be a way to protect yourself from allegations of excessive use of force?

  1. Keep good notes

  2. Maintain a high level of professionalism

  3. When questioning persons always stand in their personal space

  4. Use techniques that are authorized by law

The correct answer is: When questioning persons always stand in their personal space

Maintaining awareness of personal space is crucial in preventing misunderstandings and allegations of excessive use of force. Standing too close to someone during questioning could be perceived as aggressive or threatening, leading to potential disputes about your conduct. In contrast, keeping good notes provides a record of interactions, which can be essential during investigations. Upholding professionalism ensures that your demeanor and actions can be judged positively. Utilizing authorized techniques aligns your actions with legal standards, further protecting you against allegations. Each of these approaches contributes positively to your credibility and can help mitigate any claims of excessive force.
