What are the two most common searches?

• A. Kneeling and Squatting
• B. Standing and Prone
• C. Open and Closed
• D. Running and Walking

Answer: (B)

Two common search postures are standing and prone. Standing allows you to quickly inspect a person’s outer clothing and reach accessible pockets with good visibility. If more control is needed or access to front pockets is restricted, placing the person in a prone position (face down) lets you safely search the back and waistband while keeping the subject secured and reducing the chance of abrupt movements. Kneeling or squatting are less typical because they can limit balance and access, and open/closed or running/walking aren’t standard postures used for performing a search.
