How is force defined in the material?

The Amount of Effort to Compel Compliance by an Unwilling Subject

Force is defined as the amount of effort used to compel compliance by an unwilling subject. This focuses on how much exertion or pressure is applied to gain voluntary or involuntary compliance, not on the officer’s personal strength, the equipment used, or the legal authority to detain. The other descriptions describe attributes like physical power, gear, or legal power, rather than the actual exertion required to control a situation.

The Physical Strength of the Officer

A Tool Used to Control a Vehicle

A Legal Authority to Detain
