CANSOFCOM enters the chat. Now, the true thread death spiral begins.
Mendicino's call for RCMP to ban neck restraint not backed up by evidence: external panel
- Thread starter RedFive
- Start date
What about drill, add that and the value of the PRes with a few hate the PS posts and we’ll be full on into terminal velocity.
Sorry, you’re right, we have a thread for that.Not too long ago in another thread we talked about the RCMP moving away from contract policing... there were a lot of varying opinions on that.
Transition to Municipal Police Force
Yeah and also- we re done with regimental identities too. That’s nonsense- one army. Simpler and shouldn’t causes any issues. The reserves and various units will understand the benefits and cooperate. I like you lolarmy.ca
Mods- maybe a thread cleanup from this one to that one if it’s not too much trouble?

Naw not us!!! Why would they ever do that?
OK back on subject: Most people, even military, have no clue about so called "choke holds" which are really not chokes but Carotid Control holds. No one is getting choked when these holds are properly applied.

As far as restraint ( if required ) of EDPs they may, or may not, be transported to a hospital to be medically cleared before they can be processed at a police station.
Could be mentally ill, drugs, alcohol, low blood sugar, head injury, who knows? It just is. Let the doctor figure it out.
Sedation injections at Scene are more frequentl now than back then.
We had a method involving two Metro officers and two paramedics.
We used a backboard. One was enough.
No need to "sandwich", or risk face down positional asphixia. Both are now considered old-fashioned and obsolete.
The police would handcuff behind the back.
Get the patient sitting upright on the ground, street, sidewalk, whatever. ( Yeah, I know. Some of this is easier said than done. )
Come in from behind with the backboard, elevate the patient very slightly, and slide the board under.
Two guys hold the upper body, while the other two secure the legs to the board with straps. Watch for kicking!
Handcuff each wrist independently to the board.
Lay - push, if necessary - the patient flat down - face up - on the board, and secure the chest and waist - under the arms.
Lift the board to the ambulance stretcher, then transfer the boarded patient to a hospital stretcher, so the crew can clear.
Should CPR or intubation be needed, the board provides a firm flat surface. The secure postioning of the arms allows for rapid IV, should that be needed.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing it. But, we found that, with two officers and two paramedics, this worked pretty well. Ussually.
