Note:
An agency may substitute other terms to identify an officer's hands, feet or body sides for the purpose of standardization. The Council does not object to this provided it is documented and consistently applied to all agency approval, skill based certification programs. The Council accepts "weak" and "support" as being synonymous in expression and meaning.
