QRF deployment requests require authorization from the QRF Commander, except in emergency situations where Operational Component Leaders or Watch Commanders can deploy a QRF team.
QRF teams can be requested by agency supervisors or municipal agencies for incidents requiring specialized skills, training, or equipment, such as:
- Active Shooter/Threats
- Canine tracking
- Civil disturbances
- Deputy Down calls
- Employing less lethal or riot control agent platforms
- Establishing large-scale perimeters
- Other missions beyond the expertise of a road patrol deputy

Deployment Request/Broward County

The QRF is available for deployment to pre-planned or anticipated events in Broward County, such as demonstrations, special events, or approaching hurricanes.
Commands requesting a QRF deployment will work with QRF command to develop an operational plan.
All crowd control missions will be accompanied by a SWAT element acting as an overwatch.

An agreement must be executed between BSO and the requesting agency authorizing BSO deputies to act as local law enforcement officials.
When deploying outside of Broward County, team members will continue to adhere to the BSO Use of Force policy (SPM 6.0) and remain under the supervision of a BSO QRF supervisor.
