## STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES: S.O.P. 2-15 (Continuation) ### Evacuation - All civilians should be evacuated from within the inner perimeter, if it can be accomplished safely. - The size and configuration of inner and outer perimeters will be determined by incident type and location. ### Perimeters - **Outer Perimeter** - Is defined as that area surrounding the inner perimeter. - Will be manned by officers whose responsibility will be to keep all unauthorized persons and vehicles from entering the inner perimeter and in some cases from leaving. - **Inner Perimeter** - Is defined as that area surrounding the immediate location of the incident. - Will be manned by officers whose responsibility will be to keep all unauthorized persons and vehicles from entering the inner perimeter and incident location. ### Incident Management - **Staging Manager** - Is responsible for managing all activities within the staging area. - Staging areas are locations set up at an incident where resources can be placed while awaiting a tactical assignment. - **Command Post** - For the overall scene will be determined by the Incident Commander. - **Incident Commander** - Will be responsible for coordinating all activity at the Command Post with the S.W.A.T. Commanding Officer and Fire Rescue Liaison in a Unified Command. - Will have the authority and responsibility for the overall coordination of the incident location. ### Containment/Neutralization of Active Killer: - Upon neutralization or containment of the subject, the Incident Commander will make a determination of warm and cold zones within the incident location. - The IC will then coordinate with the Fire Rescue Liaison to begin deploying contact teams with rescue task force (RTF) personnel to begin rendering aid to casualties, or removing them from the immediate area and consolidate to the Casualty Collection Point (CCP). - The goal of initial RTF team is to stabilize as many victims as possible. - If possible, determine a Casualty Collection Point (CCP) before deploying an RTF. - Depending on the size of the incident and location, injured victims may need to be placed in a CCP before the transition from a warm zone to the cold zone. - Officers assigned to an RTF have the responsibility of providing security to Fire/EMS personnel and shall not leave them regardless of the circumstances. - The medics on the RTF are responsible for the victims. - Officers assigned to an RTF will need to coordinate all movement with interior contact teams and recognize the status of security anywhere the RTF moves. - Once the RTF arrives at the CCP, officers are to continue to provide security for Fire/EMS while planning and coordinating evacuation routes, safety cordons, and ambulance exchange points.
