    Study Notes

    Typical Equipment for Crowd Management

    • Equipment includes flashlights, gas masks with filters, helmets, face shields, crowd control batons, and acrylic shields.
    • OC spray and fire suppression equipment are provided with holsters for quick access.
    • PPE consists of chest protectors, ballistic vests, lower leg and forearm protection, and groin protection, all marked for identification.
    • Portable radios, body-worn cameras, uniform shirts, jackets, and drinking water/snacks are essential for officer preparedness.
    • Chemical munitions, flex cuffs marked with agency serial numbers, and megaphones are among additional equipment.
    • Vehicles, such as scout cars and buses, must have rear doors unlocked for quick response.

    Importance of Safety Equipment

    • Strong police presence can deter potential unrest in crowds with low commitment to illegal activities.
    • Officers must have safety equipment readily accessible due to the unpredictable nature of crowd management incidents.
    • Minimum required gear includes straight baton, helmet, and gas mask for immediate response.
    • The deployment of safety options, including batons and shields, is advised under supervisor direction or self-assessment of necessity.

    Gas Mask Protocol

    • Line Support Masking: Officers alternate masking based on their numbered positions during skirmish line formation.
    • Close Support Masking: Commands issued for rear ranks to mask, followed by repositioning of officers.
    • Emergency Masking: All officers immediately don masks upon the Emergency Mask command, preparing for quick response.
    • Removal of Masks: Supervisors signal mask removal after a danger is cleared; officers signify readiness by standing.

    Crowd Management Strategies

    • Focus on managing lawful public assemblies before and during events is vital for order and security.
    • Coordination with event planners and monitoring permits are essential in pre-event preparation.
    • Implement area, traffic, and crowd movement control during events to ensure safety and order.
    • Operational Planning: Command officers establish a comprehensive operational plan for significant events to ensure efficient resource coordination.
    • Crowd Leadership: Facilitating communication with event organizers to clarify legal and operational needs can enhance crowd management.
    • Traffic Management: A detailed traffic plan should minimize disruptions caused by the event, with adaptability in case of spontaneous crowd situations.
    • Public Information Officer (PIO): Assigned to monitor events, communicate with the public, and manage misinformation through social media updates.
    • Law Enforcement Interactions: Officers differentiate between lawful actions and misbehavior to promote voluntary compliance among crowd members, utilizing de-escalation tactics effectively.
