A form is updated, and the threshold for a level 2 physical response is clarified to require an identifiable risk to safety and security. The rule section governing training upon rehiring is also amended.

SUMMARY:

The amended rule clarifies the purpose and scope, makes necessary changes to definitions, updates a form, and clarifies the authorized level of response for the department's verbal and physical intervention techniques. The amended rule also changes the training requirements for rehired staff.
