OC should not be removed until what condition is satisfied?

• A. It should not be removed until a decision to use it is made
• B. It should be removed immediately after deployment
• C. It should be removed if the subject stops resisting
• D. It should be removed after the next interview

Answer: (A)

OC is a temporary tool in the use-of-force options that you keep ready until you’ve made a deliberate decision about using it. The point is to preserve a valid response option so you can act if the situation warrants it, instead of retracting the option prematurely. If you remove OC before you’ve decided to use it, you undermine your ability to respond to ongoing threat and you stray from a measured, policy-driven approach. Once you determine to deploy, you proceed with the deployment and follow the proper post‑deployment steps. Removing it just because the subject stops resisting or waiting for a future interview aren’t how this decision process works.
