Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of individuals we handcuff?

• A. Aggressive
• B. Totally cooperative
• C. Potentially uncooperative
• D. Totally uncooperative

Answer: (A)

The main idea is categorizing a person by how cooperative they are when you handcuff them. In this framework, there are three levels: someone who is totally cooperative, someone who is potentially uncooperative, and someone who is totally uncooperative. These categories guide how you approach, control, and apply handcuffs safely based on the person’s likely resistance and risk.

Aggressive describes how someone might act, but it isn’t a separate category used to classify who you handcuff. Aggression can appear across the levels, especially in potentially uncooperative or totally uncooperative situations, and you adjust your control and precautions accordingly within those categories. Therefore, aggression itself isn’t one of the defined types; the three types are the cooperative, potentially uncooperative, and totally uncooperative.
