Sec. 1203b.105  Use of non-deadly physical force when making an arrest.



    When a security force officer has the right to make an arrest, as 

discussed in Sec. 1203b.103, the officer may use only that non-deadly 

physical force which is reasonable and necessary to apprehend and arrest 

the offender; to prevent the escape of the offender; or to defend 

himself/herself or a third person from what the security force officer 

reasonably believes to be the use or threat of imminent use of non-

deadly physical force by the offender. Verbal abuse alone by the 

offender cannot be the basis under any circumstances for use of non-

deadly physical force by a security force officer.
