Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of "Rules of Engagement" primarily applies to military operations, not law enforcement. Law enforcement agencies use a "Use of Force Continuum" to guide officers on the appropriate level of force to use in various situations. The number of levels or types of force recognized can vary by agency and does not universally amount to eight.
