Study Notes
Standard Operating Guideline (SOG) TLEI – Hostage/Barricade Events
- Intended to guide Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) suppression/EMS units during Law Enforcement (LE) tactical team operations.
- LE SWAT Teams often encounter violent perpetrators, barricaded subjects, clandestine drug labs, and hostage situations involving violent behavior and military-grade weapons.
- Barricade and hostage rescue operations present a high risk for civilian and LE casualties.
- Shared responsibility exists between SLCFD and LE for casualty care.
- Perpetrators may use fire as a weapon.
- SWAT tactics may inadvertently cause a fire.
- Pre-staging SLCFD suppression and EMS personnel reduces response time, improving outcomes during high-risk LE incidents.
Barricaded Subject
- An incident is considered a barricaded subject situation when the suspect is:
- Believed to be armed.
- Involved in a criminal act or poses a significant threat.
- In a position of advantage, offering cover or concealment, or in an open area where police approach would be unsafe.
- Refuses to surrender.
Casualty Collection Point (CCP)
- A designated location in the Cold Zone, outside the Inner Perimeter.
- Used to assemble, triage, treat, and transport casualties to a medical facility.
- Provides a safe interface for SLCFD personnel with LE operations for casualty care without risk of injury.
Containment
- Isolation of a specific geographic area by LE officers.
- Prevents subjects from escaping and others from entering the area.
Explosive Breach
- The use of explosives to breach entry/access points.
- Involves precise application of measured explosive compounds like detcord or strip-shaped charges.
Improvised Explosive Device (IED)
- A device placed or fabricated in an improvised manner.
- Incorporates destructive, lethal, noxious, pyrotechnic, or incendiary chemicals.
- Designed to destroy, incapacitate, harass, or distract.
- May include military stores but typically uses non-military components.
Inner Perimeter
- A geographically defined area where subjects are contained.
- Entrance and exit controlled by law enforcement.
- Typically the outer wall/boundary of the incident location.
Hostage
- A person held against their will via force/fear by a hostage-taker.
- Used as security to ensure certain demands or an ultimatum are met for their safe release.
Hostage Taker
- A person who seizes or holds someone against their will as security.
- Threatens violence unless a condition is met.
Operational Zones
- Geographic locations based on the severity of threat or hazard
- Include three types:
- Hot Zone: Within Inner Perimeter.
- Immediate proximity to a known threat.
- Individuals capable of effective incoming hostile fire.
- Warm Zone: Inside or outside Inner Perimeter.
- General proximity to a known or potential threat.
- Individuals less likely to take hostile fire due to LE perimeter, cover, structure, and/or distance.
- Cold Zone: Outside Inner Perimeter and away from any known or potential threat.
- Individuals no longer capable of taking incoming hostile fire.
- Operational zones should not be rigidly concentric but adapted to the dynamic threat locations.
Noise Flash Diversionary Device (NFDD)
- Aka Flash-Bang.
- A non-lethal device that generates a bright flash and loud noise.
- Designed to temporarily divert attention, giving tactical teams an opportunity to act.
Outer Perimeter
- Area controlled by law enforcement.
- Where the public is excluded.
- Typically the city block surrounding the incident.
Rescue Task Force (RTF)
- Combined SLCFD and LE Force Protection personnel.
- Deployed to Warm Zone areas that are clear, but not necessarily secure.
- Provides point-of-wound care.
- Assesses, treats, stabilizes, and prepares casualties for removal to the Casualty Collection Point (CCP).
- Wears Ballistic Personal Protective Equipment.
- Operates under RTF Team Leader and reports to the Rescue Group Supervisor.
- Consists of at least two SLCFD medical personnel and two armed Force Protection officers.
SWAT Team
- Special Weapons and Tactics team.
- Law enforcement designated to resolve high-risk incidents exceeding traditional law enforcement capabilities.
Tactical Command
- Commands and coordinates the law enforcement response within the inner perimeter.
Tactical Operations Center (TOC)
- Coordinates law enforcement tactical operations.
- May or may not be co-located with the Unified Command Post.
Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Guidelines
- Civilian counterpart to military's combat medical guidelines (TCCC).
- Addresses the unique operational considerations and limitations of medical operations in high-risk conditions.
- Prioritizes and focuses efforts to maximize survival.
Tactical Medics (TMs)
- Specially trained and equipped SLCFD.
- Assigned to SLCPD SWAT Team
- Sworn SFOs/LEOs trained in TECC/TCCC principles and LE tactical operations.
Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS)
- Includes mission pre-planning, preventative care, and medical treatment during high-risk, large-scale, extended LE tactical operations.
- Scope includes medical interventions that improve the health and safety of LE personnel and others at the scene.
- Reduces injury, illness, disability, and death associated with police operations.
- Combines medical practices with police tactics for use in operations characterized by competing objectives, uncertainty, and stress, enabling effective delivery of medical care during law enforcement missions.
Guideline specifics during barricaded subject / hostage taking
- Initial patrol establishes containment, prevents escape, minimizes harm, and for hostage taking, forms an LE Emergency Action Team.
- Additional LE units are called like SWAT, negotiators, TEMS, and SLCFD resources, including on-duty suppression crews and tactical medics.
- Fire suppression resources standby per LE Tactical Command requests, and stage due to to IED and fire risks.
- NFDD deployment or SWAT explosive breaching may cause a fire, and staged SLCFD is prepared for fire suppression and casualty care.
- Confirm the incident and safe staging location away from the barricade or hostage scene, unless told otherwise by dispatch or LE.
- Communicate scene size-up to dispatch and other units, considering an approach route.
- Establish Fire Command, then amend for changes.
- Typically a barricaded subject requires a single engine and ambulance.
- Hostage events need evaluation of a rescue task force as a contingency before SWAT arrives, as it could become an active shooter scenario.
- Allocate a staging area away from sights, and the IC assumes command of SLCFD resources.
- Unified command is unnecessary for barricaded subjects; SLCFD can stand by for fire or casualty needs.
- Hostage taking with multiple hostages demands co-location with LE and a Unified Command with a Command Post,.
- Work with LE to identify Operational Zones, avoiding entry into any zones.
- Brief all resources quickly with all current info.
- Determine Casualty Collection Point location given any possibility for many casualties, routing EMS to there.
- Request any additional resources (casualty, transport, fire, hazmat, explosions), and notify Working Incidents through proper notifications.
- Designate a Fire Group if explosion or fire threats exist, suppressing fires and coordinating needs.
- Determine the resources responding to the safe staging, then requesting force protection and a separate channel and safe travel routes, clear boundaries to ensure safe zones.
- SLCFD should not enter the Hot Zone at any time to deploy hose, ladders, or other materials.
- Be aware that the fire can be used as a weapon and allow active fire to burn until law enforcement can confirm security.
- TMs are a tactical asset and operate via SLCPD SWAT Leadership and LE Tactical Command to provide medical care to officers, hostages, and bystanders.
- TMs also ensure continual team wellbeing, then advise tactical negotiators, and act as liaisons.
- If there is an injury in Hot or Warm Zones, TMs start care through the TEMS Guidelines and move patients outside for staged providers.
- Command needs an SLCFD Active Shooter or MCI Assignment if there are multiple casualties setting up Medical Group for triage and transport of casualties per standing orders and MCI Protocols.
- Make sure there is a body search performed on all entering, ensure transport, triage, and treatment officer are assigned, open routes available, and hospitals notified.
- Avoid self-dispatch and use caution, especially when approaching the scene, considering turning off lights/sirens.
- Always work in teams with a spotter, considering secondary IEDs and preserve crime scenes.
- The scene may turn deadly and stay alert.
