Task 2: Evacuate the scene ❑ Law enforcement must ensure the safety of people evacuating the scene while holding them at an assembly point. Set up an assembly point a safe distance from the active shooter/violent intruder scene, using a pre -established point if feasible. ❑ Establish barricades around the scene and assembly point, and post law enforcement officers to maintain perimeter security. ❑ When law enforcement arrives, people may have already escaped the scene and may have gathered at pre -established locations. Others may escape as law enforcement enters the scene and begins to clear it. All evacuated persons must be guided to the designated assembly point. ❑ Shout or broadcast commands for people to remain calm, put down all items in their hands, raise their hands above their heads and keep them visible at all times, avoid making sudden movements, and other instructions as appropriate. This is particularly important for persons actively fleeing the scene. ❑ Persons evacuating can provide important details about the event that may be critical to law enforcement officers. Obtain the identities of all persons, and conduct initial questioning on issues of immediate importance, such as the perpetrator's name, description, and where they were last seen. Convey such information to law enforcement responders working to eliminate the threat. Ll Evacuating persons may be injured. Conduct rapid triage and provide medical assistance to individuals needing immediate attention as soon as there are sufficient resources to do so. ❑ For safety reasons, it may be necessary to evacuate persons in nearby properties. Collect any pertinent information about the perpetrator from such persons. ❑ Be prepared to assist persons who are unable to self -evacuate. ❑ In rare instances, the perpetrator may attempt to escape with the evacuating crowd. Law enforcement supervising the evacuation must take care to ensure that evacuating persons do not pose a threat. Task 3: Provide rescue assistance ❑ Law enforcement and emergency medical personnel must enter the scene to rescue injured persons who are unable to move, or other persons who have not yet evacuated. Responders conducting rescue assistance should wait for an area to be considered safe before entering. If rescuers are entering an area that is believed but cannot confirmed to be safe, rescuers must wear force protection gear. ❑ Persons who do not require medical assistance must be evacuated to the designated assembly point. ❑ To the extent possible, rescuers should triage any injured persons and begin providing treatment to those with immediate medical needs. ❑ Persons with non -life-threatening injuries who cannot move or be moved should be treated at the scene as resources are available. ❑ Persons who are able to evacuate, including those with less significant injuries, should be evacuated to the assembly point for treatment if it is medically feasible to do so.
