    Study Notes

    De-escalation Strategies

    • Proactive measures aimed at stabilizing situations to allow sworn members time to disengage and re-evaluate.
    • Tactics include identifying non-compliance reasons, verbal persuasion, tactical techniques, slowing incident pace, and creating distance.
    • Focus on reducing harm to all involved parties.

    Delaying Custody

    • A tactic used if immediate custody poses a safety risk to officers or others.

    Disengagement

    • An intentional decision to cease contact when initial attempts are unsuccessful with a subject in crisis.

    Negotiator Response

    • Required for incidents involving individuals in crisis with intent to harm themselves or others, necessitating trained negotiators and tactical squads.

    Operation 100

    • Involves snipers or barricade situations with armed suspects who pose significant threats, including potential terrorist acts.

    Communication and Conduct

    • Sworn members must avoid provocative language and recognize that less-lethal devices can escalate situations instead of de-escalating them.

    Procedures for Sworn Members

    • Initial responsibility is to protect life when encountering subjects in crisis or armed situations.
    • Prioritize stabilization while noting these incidents differ from active shooter situations.

    Evaluating Situations

    • Members should assess the totality of circumstances before intervention, especially when no crime has been committed.
    • Proper judgment based on training, experience, and policies is crucial when responding to unique situations.

    Incident Notification

    • Notify dispatch, request a sergeant and additional officers to assist, and secure the scene while prioritizing safety.

    Role of Sergeant

    • Upon arrival, the sergeant assesses whether a Negotiator Response or Operation 100 is necessary.
    • If necessary, they will notify relevant units and evaluate area evacuation logistics.

    Command Post Operations

    • Designation of secure areas for Command Post and media staging with specific safety criteria.
    • A "Log Officer" will maintain a log of radio traffic for accountability.

    Coordination with Specialized Teams

    • The Communication Unit will alert tactical response teams and crisis intervention teams as necessary.

    Access Restrictions

    • Access to the mobile Command Post is limited to essential personnel, including high-ranking officers and designated team members.

    Tactical Command

    • TRT sergeants have authority until the TRT commander arrives, who will oversee the operation.

    Incident Resolution

    • After personnel assume control, members must report for debriefing and reassignment post-incident.
    • In cases of hazardous devices, relevant specialized units must be contacted.

    Final Notifications

    • Upon conclusion of Operation 100, the TRT commander will inform the Communications Unit that the operation is secure.
