During a Two-On-One escort scenario with resistance, which technique is used?

• 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)

In a two-on-one escort with resistance, the goal is rapid, controlled neutralization of the threat to establish safety and move the subject to compliance. When two officers work together, a takedown leverages their combined control to bring the resisting subject to the ground quickly, creating a secure position from which to restrain and escort. This approach minimizes the risk of strikes or escapes and reduces exposure for both officers and bystanders, because one officer helps guide and stabilize while the other applies control, making it much harder for the subject to break free or escalate. Guiding a resisting subject without taking control, retreating to create distance, or disengaging without establishing immediate control don’t address the immediate need to stop ongoing resistance. The takedown in a two-on-one context provides the fastest, most reliable way to gain that initial control and set up a safe escort.
