Study Notes
Active Shooter Tactical Guidelines
- Active Assailant incidents require rapid, coordinated responses to minimize injury and loss of life.
- The Tulsa Police and Fire Departments prioritize safe apprehension while protecting victims, officers, and suspects.
- Activation occurs upon multiple calls to Public Safety Communications (PSC) from a location indicating an active assailant.
- Types of incidents include armed suspects, hostage situations, and critical emergencies in target-rich environments (e.g., schools, malls).
Communication Protocols
- PSC initiates Active Assailant protocols and automatically alerts specialized teams (Bomb Squad, Incident Management Team, Special Operations Team, Public Information Officer).
- The main radio frequency is designated as "Tactical Frequency" until on-scene personnel advise otherwise, ensuring uninterrupted communication with minimal radio changes required.
- Additional tactical frequencies may be dedicated as needed.
First Responding Officers/Contact Team
- First responders assume the role of Incident Commander, making quick assessments and communicating vital information to manage the situation.
- Officers should not act independently but instead control and contain until specialized teams arrive.
- Officers are authorized to take urgent action to save lives if imminent danger is present.
- Command is passed to another officer when immediate actions are deemed necessary, with specific identification and route communicated via radio.
Incident Commander (IC) Responsibilities
- The second arriving law enforcement personnel establishes Command Post (CP) and Unified Command (UC) for the incident.
- The IC must identify themselves and their location to ensure effective coordination among all responders.
- If command is unclaimed, PSC prompts for the identity of the person taking command.
Unified Command Structure
- Unified Command includes Tulsa Police Department (TPD), Tulsa Fire Department (TFD), and Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA).
- The IC assigns personnel to monitor various frequencies:
- Interior Tactical Frequency for Contact Team.
- Interior frequency for Search Team communications.
- Exterior frequency for operations outside the structure.
Search Team Composition
- The Search Team (ST) is led by a Team Leader (STL) to coordinate with the Contact Team.
- The Assistant Team Leader (ASTL) manages the Interior frequency for updates on occupant conditions and potential threats.
- A Breaching Officer may be designated for entry, equipped with various tools, while exercising caution to avoid harm to civilians within the structure.
