Subject field(s)
  • Compartment - Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
OBS

The carotid control technique is not a chokehold.

OBS

The technique, when applied properly and per training, does not restrict breathing and does not put any pressure on the windpipe. It applies pressure to both sides of a person's neck, without restricting the airway. It may cause, but not always, a very brief period of unconsciousness that allows the police officer to safely place the individual in handcuffs.

French
