Question

"The ____________________ standard allows police officers to use deadly force against people who are using deadly force against an officer or another person, as well as in certain violent felony situations."

Answer 1

Answer:

Defense of life standard

Explanation:

Right to self-defense allows an individual to use a counterforce to repel an attack that can take their life or injure them severely

The official statement as contained in Article 3 of the 1979 Code of Conduct states that:

"Every effort should be made to exclude the use of firearms, especially against  children. In general, firearms should not be used except when a suspected offender offers armed resistance or otherwise jeopardizes the lives of others and  less extreme measures are not sufficient to restrain or apprehend the suspected  offender".

The police also have the right to self-defense and this is employed in the defense of life standard.
