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.
