Effective use-of-force policy helps your officers make better decisions in the moment. It also protects them in the aftermath of an incident. If your agency can show that the officer received proper training and adhered to policy, you reduce your risks for liability.

This two-hour online course provides training and focuses on the legal aspects for an officer to use force when affecting an arrest, investigatory stop, or other seizure of a free citizen.

The levels, or continuum, of force police use include basic verbal and physical restraint, less-lethal force, and lethal force. Learn more about the use-of-force continuum.

The Necessity of Force:

• to move a stationary object i.e. to move a body which is at rest.
• to change the direction of the motion of an object.
• to change the magnitude of the velocity (speed) of the motion of an object.
• To change the shape of an object.

Basically, there are two main types of forces, contact forces, and non-contact forces.

A push or a pull that can cause the motion of an object to change. It has two important properties: strength and direction. When two equal forces act in opposite directions the result is that the forces are balanced and there is no motion. The process of moving or changing position.

Fundamental force, also called fundamental interaction, in physics, any of the four basic forces—gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak—that govern how objects or particles interact and how certain particles decay.

Force can change direction of a moving body. Force can change size of an object. Force is a vector quantity. Force can stop a moving body.

External forces can be divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. Most forces that biomechanics works with are contact forces. Contact forces are forces that act at the point of contact between two objects. Gravitational force, acting on all objects on the Earth, is a non-contact force.

• Force has both magnitude and direction.
• More than one force can be applied on an object.
• Forces applied in the same direction add up to each other.
• If forces are applied in the same direction, the total force adds up in the same direction.

For example, the moment of force, often called torque, is the product of a force on an object and the distance from the reference point to the object. In principle, any physical quantity can be multiplied by a distance to produce a moment.

moment = force x perpendicular distance from turning point. You consider the weight of the aluminium beam to act through its centre of mass 2.5 m from either end, but it is 0.5 m from the steel rod which is effectively the pivot point on which you base your moment calculations.

The MOMENT of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a specific point or axis. When I sit on a chairlift, I am creating a moment that causes the chairlift to rotate around the pivot.

A moment load is a tilting load that attempts to rotate the rings of a rolling element bearing in a rotational manner perpendicular to the designed rotational axis. Single ball bearings aren’t usually designed to handle moment loads, but Silverthin offers engineered solutions for space and weight limited applications.

The bending stress is computed for the rail by the equation Sb = Mc/I, where Sb is the bending stress in pounds per square inch, M is the maximum bending moment in pound-inches, I is the moment of inertia of the rail in (inches)4, and c is the distance in inches from the base of rail to its neutral axis.

In statics, moments are effects (of a force) that cause rotation. When computing equilibrium, you must be able to calculate a moment for every force on your free-body diagram. To determine a force’s moment, you use one of two different calculations, as you can see in the following list.

noun. an indefinitely short period of time; instant: I’ll be with you in a moment. the present time or any other particular time: He is busy at the moment. a definite period or stage, as in a course of events; juncture: at this moment in history. importance or consequence: a decision of great moment.

The Principle of Moments states that when a body is balanced, the total clockwise moment about a point equals the total anticlockwise moment about the same point.

Mindfulness

Alive are those who live in the present, cause the secret of life is in living every moment. However if you are looking for a literal word, I would suggest calling that person a “carpe diemist”.

Because of this, it is extremely important to learn to live in the present moment. Abraham Maslow once said, “The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.” Only in the present moment can you achieve true happiness, peace, and joy, which are all key for our mental wellbeing.

You ask yourself if you’re present It means you stop completely focusing on your thoughts or emotional state, and instead look around you. You give some attention to your senses—your hearing, sight, smell or sense of touch or taste.

6 Ways to Live in the Moment

1. Focus on the now. In order to live in the moment, you need to focus on the now.
2. Pay attention to the small things. Notice the world around you: the small things.
3. Smile.
4. Perform random acts of kindness.
5. Give thanks.
6. Don’t worry.

1. Make A Commitment to Remain Present. Remaining in the present moment is going to require a degree of effort and commitment.
2. Develop A System.
3. Become Aware of Your Body.
4. Remain Conscious of Your Thoughts.
5. Be Aware of Your Surroundings.
6. Enjoy Being Where You Are.

Being present is a great stress reducer Observe when your mind begins to focus on the future instead of the present moment you are experiencing. Ask yourself if this thought process is necessary. Simple awareness and recognition of your thoughts will assist you in being more present.
