In the PIT use-of-force context, which team coordinates the use-of-force protocol?

• A. Supervisory Board
• B. Training Unit
• C. K-9 Unit
• D. Use of Force Blue Team

Answer: (D)

Coordinating the use-of-force protocol during PIT operations is handled by a dedicated team that serves as the central coordination point for policy adherence, communication, and documentation. The Use of Force Blue Team fulfills this role, guiding decisions, ensuring proper sequencing of force options, and organizing after-action review to keep the incident safe and compliant.

The Supervisory Board provides governance and oversight rather than on-scene coordination; the Training Unit focuses on preparing personnel and conducting drills; the K-9 Unit handles canine operations and does not coordinate the broader protocol.
