Which of the following is NOT an Escort Hold example?

• A. Pressure Points
• B. Blanket the Arm
• C. Lower Your Center
• D. Oleoresin Capsicum

Answer: (A)

Escort holds rely on controlled grips, limb control, and body positioning to guide and protect both the officer and the person being escorted. They focus on safety and stable movement rather than causing pain to gain compliance. The option that uses pressure points is not an escort hold because it depends on targeting nerves to produce pain, a pain‑based control approach rather than a positional, hold‑based technique. The other two phrases describe ways to secure and stabilize someone or to maintain control through stance and grip, which align with the escort-hold approach. The term about oleoresin capsicum represents a separate force option, not a physical escort hold, reinforcing that the essential distinction is between holds used to escort and methods that rely on pain or chemical tools.
