Who will operate the DFSG?

Who will operate the DFSG?

• A. Backup officer
• B. Subject
• C. Primary officer
• D. Supervisor

Answer: (C)

In DFSG practice, the person designated to handle and fire the device—the primary officer—takes on the operation. This role is trained to correctly aim, activate, and time the device while following all safety protocols and policies. The primary officer is responsible for the device’s use during the drill, ensuring proper technique and immediate response to any issues. The backup officer assists with safety, monitoring, and communication, and can step in if needed, but does not typically operate the device. The supervisor oversees the exercise to ensure compliance and safety, and the subject is the person being tested, not the operator.
