Direct a suspect when and where to move is associated with which tactic?

• A. Firm grips
• B. Verbal force
• C. Command voice
• D. Pain compliance

Answer: (A)

Directing a suspect where to move is accomplished through command voice, an authoritative and clear verbal directive. This tactic uses a loud, concise command to guide the suspect’s actions and path without physical contact, helping to establish control quickly while reducing ambiguity and risk. It sits within verbal force, specifically the form that conveys precise instructions to move or reposition. The other tactics involve physical contact or pain-based coercion—firm grips rely on touching to restrain, and pain compliance uses discomfort to compel movement—whereas directing movement through spoken commands focuses on clear, audible instructions to achieve compliant relocation.
