> Physical force should be the last resort, but sometimes there is unfortunately no other choice. It makes no sense to have "first responders" who default to your "last resort". "OK, so, we think there's a typo in one of the customer records so I've restored from this morning's backup" "But that loses six hours of work! That's crazy, why did you do that?" "Restoring from backup is our last resort" "What else did you try?" "Oh I never try anything else. I just restore from backup and that resolves it" | |||||||||||||||||

Yes, that would make no sense, that's why it's not what I said. It takes time for responders to arrive on scene. Even if police end up not usually not being needed, there can be value in calling for them ahead of time so that they are available in case they do end up being needed. On the other hand, their presence alone can cause issues even if they don't do anything. That's why it's a tough call | |||||||||||||||||
