Скачать или смотреть Police Use of Force Wheel: What It Means For Your Self-Defense

How do Canadian police decide how much force to use in a split second? In this video, Randall Arsenault, known as Officer Arsenault, breaks down the Canadian police Use of Force Wheel - the model every officer is trained to follow when making decisions about reasonable force. Most importantly, Randall explains why it matters to you!

Most Canadians have never heard of the Use of Force Wheel, but it’s one of the most important tools in modern policing. From officer presence and communication, to soft and hard physical control, to intermediate weapons like a taser, and finally lethal force - Randall explains how officers constantly assess and reassess situations as they change.

This isn’t just about policing. The wheel also connects directly to Canadian self-defence laws (Section 34 of the Criminal Code). Just like officers, civilians have to make split-second choices when it comes to self-defense or protecting their family. Your actions need to be reasonable, justified, and proportional to the threat - whether it’s someone yelling at you, grabbing you, or pulling a weapon.

In this video, you’ll learn:
What the Use of Force Wheel is and how it works in Canada
How police decide what level of force is appropriate
Why officers can escalate or de-escalate instantly depending on the threat
How the same principles apply to self-defence in Canada
Why Canadians are often frustrated with current laws on protecting themselves

Policing and self-defense are complicated, but understanding the Use of Force Model helps make sense of how force is judged in Canada.
