The main goal during a riot is to ensure public safety and restore order while upholding constitutional rights. This includes dispersing the crowd, identifying and arresting leaders, and protecting officers and the public.

Before a riot even begins, proactive planning is essential. This involves anticipating potential disruptions and creating a detailed plan outlining roles, deployment, and communication protocols.
