According to the National Use of Force framework, the use of a baton would fall under what use of force option?

Intermediate weapons
Communications
Active resistant
Physical control-soft

The correct answer is: Intermediate weapons

In the National Use of Force Framework used by law enforcement and security personnel in Canada, different levels of force are outlined. One of these includes using intermediate weapons. An intermediate weapon is a type of force that is less lethal than firearms but still can cause physical harm. The use of a baton falls under this category. A baton, often used by security guards and police officers, is not as lethal as a gun, but can still be used to control, detain, or even harm an individual if necessary. Thus, according to this framework, the use of a baton would be classified as an intermediate weapon.
