According to the Commandant's Use Of Force Policy, what is restricted?

The selection of "Use of force where not necessary" aligns with the principles outlined in the Commandant's Use of Force Policy, which stresses the importance of necessity in the application of force. Under this policy, the use of force must be justified and proportionate to the threat faced. If a situation can be resolved through other means, such as verbal commands or de-escalation tactics, those should be prioritized to minimize the potential for harm or escalation of the incident.

The focus on necessity ensures that force is only employed as a last resort, safeguarding both the individuals involved and the broader public from excessive use of force. Therefore, restricting the use of force where it is not necessary reinforces a commitment to professionalism and the protection of human rights.

The other options may relate to various aspects of force application, but they do not directly embody the core principle of necessity emphasized by the Commandant's policy. For instance, while the use of firearms in crowded areas can be a matter of significant concern, it does not have the same foundational importance of ensuring that any force used is necessary and justified in the situation at hand.
