Drive stun as a follow up is described as a follow up to what action?

• A. The initial contact with the subject
• B. After the subject complies
• C. After a short delay following the first discharge
• D. During a separate incident

Answer: (A)

Drive stun is a close-range follow-up technique used after you’ve already made initial contact with the subject. The idea is to press the device against the subject’s body to deliver stimulation to regain or maintain control when the person remains resistant or compliant behavior isn’t achieved with the initial contact alone. It’s not about what happens after the subject complies, it isn’t something done after a delay following a first discharge, and it isn’t a separate incident occurring elsewhere—the drive stun is used right after that first moment of contact to continue the encounter in a controlled way.
