Which technique is used when the subject begins to violently resist against the officer's Two-On-One escort?

• A. The Two-On-One Takedown
• B. The Two-On-One Escort
• C. The Hip Drill Retreat
• D. The Two-On-One Escort Disengage

Answer: (A)

When violent resistance is encountered during a Two-On-One escort, the priority is to rapidly establish control to protect everyone and prevent escape or harm. The takedown technique is designed to break the subject’s balance and bring them to the ground while maintaining control of their limbs, allowing officers to secure the subject quickly and safely. This direct approach addresses the immediate threat and transitions into safer containment, which is why it is the best fit in this scenario.

The other options serve different purposes: an escort technique is for nonviolent maneuvering and maintaining proximity, not for stopping violent resistance; a retreat drill emphasizes repositioning and creating space rather than subduing a resistant subject; and an escort disengage focuses on breaking contact and moving away while preserving some control, which isn’t sufficient when the subject is actively resisting.
