A drive stun

A drive stun

• A. Occurs when the front of the DFSG does not contact the subject
• B. Is a method where the probe contacts clothing only
• C. Is the primary method to incapacitate from a distance
• D. Occurs when the front of the DFSG, with or without a live cartridge, directly touched the body of the resisting subject and the electrical charge passes to their body

Answer: (D)

Drive-stun means delivering the electrical energy by making direct contact between the device’s front surfaces and the subject’s body. The energy transfers through the skin, and this can happen whether or not a live cartridge is installed. This is why the described option is the best fit: it captures the mechanism of drive-stun—direct contact with the body and transmission of the electrical charge. It’s not about the device touching clothing only, since energy must reach the body to have the intended effect. It’s also not the primary method for incapacitation from a distance—that role is filled by the use of the darts from a cartridge. Drive-stun is a close-range option used for pain compliance or control when distance deployment isn’t possible or has already occurred.
