The infraorbital pressure point is utilized for what purpose?

The infraorbital pressure point is primarily utilized for pain compliance, which is a tactic used to gain control over a subject by applying pressure to specific points on the body that elicit a painful response. When pressure is applied to the infraorbital area, located just below the eye, it can cause immediate discomfort or pain, prompting the individual to comply with directives or movements as a response to that pain. This technique enables officers or practitioners to gain compliance without causing permanent injury, making it an effective method in situations where physical restraint is necessary.

While other options, such as submission control and physical restraint, may also involve using pressure points, the primary focus of the infraorbital pressure point is on eliciting a pain response that encourages compliance. Distraction may occur as a secondary effect of the pain induced by pressure on this area, but the main purpose aligns closely with achieving pain compliance.
