Correctional Officer Basic Training Practice Test

The 'Set-up' phase in Crisis Response and De-escalation Training (CRDT) is primarily focused on planning and preparation for restraint techniques. During this phase, correctional officers assess the situation and organize the necessary actions before any physical intervention occurs. This preparation is crucial as it helps ensure the safety of both the officers and the individuals involved by considering the environment, the specific dynamics at play, and the appropriate techniques to use.

In this phase, officers might review the potential risks associated with the situation, identify the appropriate level of force needed, and decide how to implement the technique effectively while minimizing harm. This thoughtful planning stage is essential for successful interventions and enhances the likelihood of a safe outcome.
