Contact control is used for which type of subject?

• A. Active resistant subjects
• B. Passive resistant subjects
• C. Assaultive subjects
• D. Non-responsive subjects

Answer: (B)

Contact control is the level you use when a subject is resisting commands but not actively fighting or posing an assault. It relies on controlled, purposeful touch and body positioning to gain and maintain compliance with minimal force, allowing you to guide the person and move toward handcuffing without escalating to harder techniques. This fits a situation where the individual is passively resistant—refusing to cooperate or follow directions—rather than actively trying to strike or break away. If someone is actively resisting or become assaultive, higher levels of force are generally required, and non-responsive cases often require different strategies beyond contact control.
