Medics should not be in the business of lawful restraint.

Police should not be in the business of administering or ordering medications.

Unless emergency doctors are going to start doing ridealongs, this should stop. This isn’t a thing in Canada.

Medics should not be in the business of lawful restraint.

Only restrain a patient if,

i. directed by a physician or police officer,
ii. an unescorted patient becomes violent en route, or
iii. use of restraints is required to provide emergency treatment as per the Patient Refusal/Emergency Treatment Standard,

This isn’t a thing in Canada.

Only familiar with our little corner of it.

Sorry, I should clarify I mean in the context of paramedics using restraint basically to assist police with a police led intervention. If there's a valid medical need and it fits within existing lawful paramedic protocols, that's outside my arcs, and fair enough. My reply was in the context of this being a policing thread.

Right.

So rather than clobber them with a baton repeatedly, one could attempt physical restraint while a paramedic jabbed them.

This character had been mentioned before in this thread, when he had been suspended. Now, the Northamptonshire Police Chief Constable has been sacked.

Police chief sacked for lying about Navy career apologises for ‘stolen valour’

Nick Adderley, who was chief constable of Northamptonshire, wore a ‘110pc fake’ Falklands war medal

www.telegraph.co.uk

Not only did he wear medals that he wasn't entitled to, but he "exaggerated" his experience when he applied for the Chief's job.

Mr Adderley claimed on his CV and his application form when applying to become chief constable of Northamptonshire Police in 2018 that he had been in the Royal Navy for 10 years when he had served for only two. He had apparently included his service with the Sea Cadets from the age of 10 in that calculation.

He also lied about attending the prestigious Britannia Royal Naval College for four years, despite having his application to the college rejected.

Only an able seaman
Mr Adderley said he had seen active service during his naval career, had been a military negotiator in Haiti, despite never visiting the country, and had been a “commander or a lieutenant”, even though he only achieved the rank of able seaman.

Veteran wants medal law after Northants police chief sacked

Tom Herring, a Falklands veteran, says military medals should be respected.

www.bbc.com

A Falklands war veteran has called for a change in the law after a disgraced chief constable was found to have worn a medal from the campaign to which he was not entitled.
Tom Herring, the chairman of the South Atlantic Medal Association, has described the actions of former Northamptonshire chief constable Nick Adderley as "despicable".
Mr Herring fought in the Battle for Mount Longdon during the Falklands War in 1982, which left 23 British soldiers dead.
He said the UK should look at introducing laws similar to other countries where wearing a medal without the right to do so can be a criminal offence.
