When the evaluee is ready, read the following script:
"This course is designed to evaluate your ability to make correct "use of force" decisions. In
the scenarios you are about to see, you have jurisdiction and authority in all cases. In each
scenario, you will be faced with one or more situations where you will need to make a deadly
force decision. Each scenario will begin with a narration to set the scene and provide you with
any intelligence available. Treat each scenario as if it were happening here and now. The view
on the screen is the view you have. You should speak to the role-players, giving task direction
as appropriate. Listen to the words spoken by the Coast Guard personnel in the scenarios;
they are part of your boarding team. Your use of verbal commands may impact your score.
Use the items around you for cover and concealment as needed, even though they will not
match what is on the screen. Start each scenario in the interview position, with your weapon
holstered. Draw the appropriate weapon if you believe the situation warrants it. There may be
scenarios where the use of OC pepper spray is the appropriate level of force to compel
compliance. If you draw your weapon, but do not shoot, reholster and fasten the retaining
strap. If you have your weapon drawn when a scenario ends, I will tell you to holster your
weapon and prepare for themust observe proper weapons safety at all times. If one of the
subjects is it is at you or a member of your team. If a situation presents all the element
authorize you to use deadly force, you MUST shoot. Regardless of what happens in the
scenario, do not assume it is over until the screen fades to black. Do you understand? Do you
have any questions?"
