Protocols Officer Interview Question:

Tell me how do you decide when you need to use your weapon to defuse a situation?

Submitted by: Muhammad

This answer is extremely clear cut for me. A weapon should be used for the sole purpose of a life-threatening situation and as a last resort. My main goal is to protect myself and everyone around me, even those that appear to be a threat to themselves. If I come across a case that is non-fatal and there are other means of settling the problem, then resorting to the use of any weapon is unnecessary.
