1. (a) Since the use of force is limited by statute, a Bail Enforcer may use force only when:

   1. (1) the Bail Enforcer has made a lawful command for the defendant to surrender and the defendant has refused to obey; OR
   2. (2) the Bail Enforcer must use force to defend the Bail Enforcer or another from injury or threat or injury while recovering a defendant.
2. (b) Any force used may not be more than sufficient to prevent an offense.
3. (c) No force may be used which is more than sufficient to temporarily restrain a defendant who has refused to obey a lawful command to surrender to the licensed Bail Enforcer.
4. (d) The manner and duration of force used by a Bail Enforcer may not be more than that reasonably necessary to surrender the defendant to a public officer competent to receive the defendant into custody.
