Answer 2 :

The term non restrictive physical intervention is a component of the training of personnel involved in such work as security or police. It comes under the module usually termed such as "Application of Communication Skills and Conflict Management for Security Guarding and Close Protection".

This part of the Officer's training deals with the need to understand how to deal with various kinds of potential conflict situations most appropriately and effectively. There are a wide range of situations where such Officers need to be knowledgeable in order to become proficient in how to handle some person or persons, but without using physical force or restraining the person or persons involved. The trainee needs to be taught ways of calming down people who may be threatening to themselves and others in various potential conflict situations.

One example might be talking down counselling e.g. if somebody is threatening to jump off a balcony or bridge to take their own life if the Officer approaches him is aggressive or goes in too strongly or tries to grab the person to restrain him from jumping, that could well lead to him panicking and perhaps jumping, threatening safety of others or perhaps endangering the safety of the Officer trying to stop him. So psychology is the only appropriate method the Officer needs to employ to peacefully and effectively address that situation, probably involving counseling the person and trying to placate him and successfully persuade him it is not right to jump, and not involving physical contact to restrain him.
