Study Notes
Responding to Emergencies
- When responding to a fire-related incident, notify dispatch immediately and request assistance.
- Consider evacuating occupants in the surrounding area and follow agency procedures.
- As an officer, assist firefighters and the fire marshal in their investigation, and maintain crowd and traffic control.
Vehicle Fires
- When responding to a vehicle fire, ask dispatch for relevant information regarding the incident.
- Consider wind direction and speed, traffic conditions, and safe access for other responders.
- Use your vehicle to block traffic and protect the area in which you and other officers will work.
- Request fire and rescue aid if necessary, and survey the scene for victims, hazards, and other threats to public safety.
Property Boundary Disputes
- Property disputes between neighbors are usually civil in nature and require a recent survey to identify property ownership.
- Advise parties to seek remedies in civil court.
Landlord and Tenant Disputes
- In tenancy situations, a landlord can legally recover possession of a leased residence without the tenant's consent only through an eviction proceeding in the county court.
- Until legally evicted, a tenant has the right to enter the residence, and a landlord may not prevent entry by changing the locks.
- Physically evicting a tenant without a writ of possession is likely to be considered wrongful eviction.
Crowd Control
- Identify the threat level of a crowd, demonstration, or riot by observing the mood, location, direction of travel, and size of the crowd.
- Determine if the crowd is organized and if anyone is leading or agitating the crowd.
- Monitor the situation from a safe vantage point, relay information frequently to dispatch or assisting agencies, and report any escalation or de-escalation.
Engaging with Crowds
- Approach crowds carefully, considering officer safety and the potential for danger.
- Calling for assistance and waiting for backup are critical when engaging a crowd or demonstration.
- Identify why a group has assembled to better understand group goals and possible solutions for a peaceful dispersal.
- Identify the leader or instigator by observing how the crowd interacts and isolate them for interview.
Foot Pursuits
- During a foot pursuit, clearly communicate via the radio your location, direction of travel, a description of the suspect, and possible charges.
- Continuously update dispatch with this information to allow responding officers to provide support and establish a perimeter if needed.
- Consider the probability of the suspect being armed, the seriousness of the offense, and the threat to officers and the public.
