Apprehension and Restraint As the officer of the deck, you need to know the difference between APPREHENSION and the three degrees of RESTRAINTS: (1) restriction instead of arrest, (2) arrest, or (3) confinement. At any time during the watch, you may have to take custody of personnel charged with mis- conduct.  All  officers,  petty  officers,  and noncommissioned officers of any service have authority to apprehend offenders who are subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. APPREHENSION. —Apprehension is the equivalent of an arrest in civilian life. It is the taking of a person into custody. An apprehension is made by clearly notifying the person being apprehended that he or she is in custody. The notice can be given orally or in writing. The person making the apprehension may only use such force and means as is reasonably necessary to affect the apprehension. Apprehension con- tinues until the person is delivered to proper authority. Aboard ship, the authority is the OOD. RESTRAINT. —Restraint is the moral or physical restraint on a person’s liberty. It may consist of restriction in lieu of arrest, arrest, or confinement. Restriction in Lieu of Arrest. —Restriction in lieu of arrest is the restraint of a person by an oral or written order directing the person to remain within specified limits of an area. A restricted person, unless otherwise directed, performs full military duties while restricted.
