What does the Jugular notch technique help a subject to do?

The Jugular notch technique is utilized to assist a subject in sitting down. This technique involves identifying the jugular notch, the dip located at the top of the sternum, which can be used as a reference point for body positioning. By applying pressure or using a gentle approach around this area, an officer can facilitate the process of a subject lowering themselves into a seated position safely.

This technique is particularly useful in situations where a subject may need assistance due to emotional distress, resistance, or other factors that could make sitting down challenging. Unlike the other options, which suggest different postures or emotional states, the primary purpose of this technique is to aid in the physical act of sitting while ensuring both the officer's and the subject's safety.
