Define Apprehension.

Define Apprehension.

• A. The taking of a person into custody
• B. Restricting movement of an individual
• C. A field interview document
• D. A type of vehicle report

Answer: (A)

Apprehension is the act of taking a person into custody by lawful authority. It means the officer has seized and is in control of the person, initiating custody that can lead to formal arrest. It’s more than just briefly restraining someone or stopping their movement; it’s the purposeful act of detaining the person under authority. The other options describe documents or scenarios (a field interview form, a vehicle report) or simply restricting movement, which isn’t the formal action defined by apprehension.
