INTRODUCTION
1. General: Any apprehension is potentially dangerous.
The FBI reported in
their mid 1970's Uniform Crime Reports that 123 police officers across the
nation were killed while on duty. In addition, over 26,500 were assaulted and
10,770 of the assaults resulted in injuries. The majority of these deaths and
injuries occurred because the officers involved failed to properly search
and/or secure the subject after apprehending him. Statistics have shown that
if an officer is going to be killed, his chances are higher during the
apprehension.

procedures.
