What characterizes Level 3 response techniques?

Level 3 response techniques are characterized by normal applications of restraint that carry a low probability of causing significant injury. This level is designed to provide an effective way to control a situation while minimizing the risk of harm to both the individuals involved and the responding personnel.

These techniques are typically employed when there is a need to manage a situation where individuals may be resisting or where control is necessary to ensure safety, yet they are not so lethal or aggressive that they would likely lead to serious injuries.

By emphasizing a controlled response that strives to restrain or manage behavior rather than escalate to aggressive or harmful actions, Level 3 techniques align with the principles of de-escalation and force management. They allow crew members to effectively maintain order and safety without resorting to excessive force that could result in severe consequences.

The other options imply more aggressive responses or risks of injury that are not inherent to Level 3 techniques.
