Which of the following is NOT a flashlight technique name?

• A. AYOOB
• B. Harries
• C. Neck Index
• D. Pivot

Answer: (D)

In flashlight handling for law enforcement, certain named grips describe specific ways to hold and deploy the light so you can illuminate threats while keeping your weapon ready. The AYOOB method is a well-known grip named after a training author, summarized as a stable two-handed approach that balances light and weapon control. The Harries technique is another established two-handed method where the flashlight is held under the firearm arm to project light forward while maintaining a strong grip. Neck Index is a quick-access grip that tucks the light around the neck for rapid draw and retention, keeping the beam available without shifting your grip. Pivot, on the other hand, isn’t a standard, named flashlight technique in this training context; it describes a motion rather than a recognized grip or retention method. So the option that isn’t a flashlight technique name is Pivot.
