Identify and demonstrate initial deployment procedures to include en -route tasks and procedures when arriving on scene. 5. Identify a nd demonstrate one, two, three and four officer deployment, movement, and searching/clearing and discuss breaching techniques. 6. Identify and demonstrate proper tactics and techniques when coming into contact with a suspect(s). 7. Identify the survival mind -set. 8. Identify improvised explosive device procedures. 9. Demonstrate an understanding of these concepts through practical application exercises. Active Shooter - -ANS_ An active shooter is a suspect whose activity is immediately causing death and serious bodily injury. The activity is not contained and there is immediate risk of death and serious injury to potential victims. Armed Barricaded Suspect -ANS_ An armed barricaded suspect is a suspect who is in a position of tactical advantage, usually barricaded in a room, building or vehicle, who is armed with a weapon. The suspect may or may not be holding hostages and there is no indication that the subject's activity is immediately causing death or serious bodily injury. Traditional Deployment -ANS _ A tactical concept where law enforcement officers maintain a secure perimeter around an armed suspect and wait for specially trained units (SWAT, ERT, ESU) to arrive on scene and intervene. Rapid Deployment -ANS_ The swift and immediate deployment of la w enforcement personnel to on -going, life -threatening situations where delayed deployment and engagement could otherwise result in death or great bodily injury to innocent persons. Time Line of Violence -ANS_ The period of time from the suspect's first vi olent action until the action is stopped or the suspect transitions to another activity. Incident Transition -ANS_ That point in the incident where the "active shooter" stops his/her violent actions and tries to escape or barricades himself/herself. Active Shooter vs. Hostage/Barricaded Suspect(s) -ANS_ 1. The term active shooter is used to describe rapid aggressive response to armed individuals who are actively shooting people at a school campus, workplace, or other public gathering. 2. Active Shooter v s. Hostage/Barricade. A rapid deployment calls for the first responding officer(s) on scene to form 1, 2, 3 or 4 man teams and immediately locate and stop the threat; i.e., gunman(men). Officer response to a hostage/barricade involves setting containment, perimeters, gathering information and requesting appropriate resources (Locate, Isolate, and Control). 3. It is critical to know the differences between the types of deployments and accurately assess the circumstances and deploy appropriately. A response may change from an initial rapid deployment to a hostage/barricade deployment based upon the suspects' actions. 4. The #1 objective is to find, confront and stop the deadly behavior/threat (Locate, Isolate, and Control)! Preparation for Active Shooters Situations: (Lessons Learned) -ANS_ (1) Active shooter incidents are spontaneous. (2) Suspect behavior is unpredictable. (3) Pre -incident signs existed in school incidents. (4) Incidents occur in a target rich environment. (5) First responders were outgunned and did not have adequate training. (6) A tactical intervention took too long. (7) Multi -jurisdictional response issues were present. 5 Stages of an Active Shooter Incident (FPPAI) F- Frank P- placed P- prepared A- alligator I- inside -ANS_ 1. Fantasy Stage: Initially, the shooter only dreams of the shooting. He/She fantasizes about the headlines and news coverage he/she will receive. The shooter pictures breaking the death count record of the previous active shooter and going out in a blaze of glory. He/She may draw pictures of the event, make Web postings and even discuss these desires with friends and foes. If these fantasies are passed on to law enforcement, police intervention can take place prior to the suspect's at tack. In this case, there may even be zero casualties. 2. Planning Stage: The suspect is still a potential active shooter at this stage. He/She is determining logistics - the who, what, when, where and how of the infamous day. The suspect may put plans in writing and will often discuss these plans with others. A time and location will be decided upon - one that will ensure the greatest number of victims or, in some cases, target specific individuals. The potential shooter will determine the weapons needed and how they will be obtained. He/She will decide how to travel to the target location and how to dress to conceal the weapons without arousing suspicion. If the police are tipped off at this time, intervention may be made with zero casualties 5 Stages of an Active Shooter Incident (cont.) -ANS_ 3. Preparation Stage: A law enforcement agency can still intervene during the preparation stage. The suspect may be obtaining gunpowder or other chemicals for improvised explosive devices. He/She might break into a house to steal weapons and ammunition and/or hide them in a designated place closer to where he/she plans to attack. The suspect may do a practice run or walkthrough of the operation, gearing up for the assault. Potential shooters have been known to call friends and tell them not to go to school or work on a certain day in order to keep them out of the line -of-fire. If one of these people informs police of his/her concerns, there is another opportunity for law enforcement to intervene before the event. If this is the case, there is a real possibility that there may be zero casualties. 4. Approach Stage: The closer the time to the planned event, the more dangerous it will be for an officer taking action. By the approach stage, the suspect has made plans and has committed to carry out the act. At this point, he/she is actually moving toward the intended target and will most likely be carrying the tools that he/she will use for the massacre. Officers may come into contact with the suspect at this stage because of a citizen complaint, a traffic stop or something similar. A thorough investigation can lead to an arrest of the suspect before he/she brings down a multitude of innocent people in a shooting or bombing. No matter how dangerous the stop, an alert and ar med officer has a final chance to intervene if he/she is prepared and aware during every street contact. This contact could become a lifesaver and may end in zero casualties. 5. Implementation Stage: Once the shooter opens fire, immediate action must be taken. Initial responding officers need to immediately proceed to the suspect and stop the threat. If he/she is not stopped, the active shooter will continue to kill until he/she runs out of victims or ammunition. Remember, the active shooter is unique because he/she is going for the "top score," or the highest number of kills on record for an active shooter incident. It is almost like a bizarre video game, except its real. The sooner someone - anyone - effectively intervenes through an act of courage, the fewer funerals will result. Preparation Prior to an Incident -ANS_ a. Prepare information packets on potential locations within your jurisdiction/area of operation b. Officers should walk through poten tial locations. Know how to get around the location, meet the workers, etc. Firsthand knowledge of the location will greatly increase the success of an extraordinary deployment. Locations should develop a specific plan for dealing with armed suspects. Find out what their plan is, where persons will be moved, what doors will be locked, etc. c. Maintain proficiency with weapons (rifle, handgun, OC, baton, etc.). Distances both outside and indoors at most locations/campuses put you at a disadvantage with only a handgun. In the military a rifle is a primary weapon and a handgun a secondary. Carry extra magazines and ammo. d. Wear ballistic (threat Level III A) body armor (additional ballistic shield if applicable), carry a primary and secondary flashlight (prefe rred weapon mounted light), and have a (hands free) radio on the right channel.The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
