Duration: 25:19
Episode Summary
The initial response to an active shooter event typically involves a blend of patrol officers present at the scene. If the situation stabilizes and the threat diminishes, a contact team member may need to take the role of negotiator.
Episode Notes
During an active shooter event, our primary focus is to stop the killing, but when the suspect is no longer actively killing people or preventing you from treating the wounded, sometimes negotiations need to begin – and that job may fall to the contact team. In today’s episode, the panel discusses safety priorities, situational awareness, best practices and more.
