Specific Contingency/Abort Plans:

Abort – If this word is used, the execution of the operation has ended. Investigators will move to their assigned perimeter locations. The supervisor or lead officer may give the abort order.

Barricaded Suspect/Hostage Situation – If there is a barricaded gunman or hostage situation, whether civilian or Law Enforcement Officer as the hostage, the on-scene commander will coordinate the establishment of a perimeter and contact SWAT personnel. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the perimeter. The perimeter will be held until the SWAT team and a hostage negotiation team arrives. The “Hostage Taker” will not be allowed to become mobile.

Civilians – If civilians are in jeopardy, the supervisor may modify the tactical plan as needed.

Downed Investigator / Officer – If, during the operation, a law enforcement officer is wounded in any way, the team will extract the officer in the most expeditious and safe manner possible. The downed Investigator or Officer will be immediately rendered first aid. The commander will coordinate and establish a perimeter and contact SWAT personnel. All downed personnel will be provided the most expeditious and direct route to the designated hospital.

Note: Supervisors will ensure that firearms discipline is exercised at all times throughout the operation.

DEFINITIONS

In a dynamic entry situation law enforcement personnel show up unannounced and storm the alleged perpetrator's house with an overwhelming force (eg. No Knock Warrant/ Forcible Entry).

FIREARM USE POLICY

A firearm may be discharged when the Investigator/Officer believes that there is no other means of control and perceives an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to himself/herself or other innocent persons. Ability, opportunity and jeopardy must be present.

Warning shots are generally prohibited.

An employee shall not shoot at any person, except to protect his/her own life or the life of another person.

Discharging a firearm from or at a moving vehicle is prohibited, unless the occupants of the other vehicle are using deadly physical force against the employee or another person by means other than the vehicle.

Employees shall not point firearms at persons in any circumstance under which the discharge would not be clearly justifiable. If an employee finds it necessary to point a firearm at another, the employee should not interpret this necessity as an obligation to discharge the weapon.

The discharging of a firearm at dogs or other animals shall be an action employed ONLY when no other means to bring the animal under control exist

A firearm shall not be discharged if the lives of innocent persons would thereby be endangered.

EMERGENCY DRIVING AND PURSUIT DRIVING POLICY

Except under extraordinary circumstances, high speed pursuits are expressly prohibited during this detail. Circumstances that may necessitate high-speed pursuit or emergency response may include but are not limited to, the threat of serious bodily injury or death to an Investigator/Officer or other party.

The following factors should be considered before driving at high speed or engaging in maneuvers that place anyone at risk or death or injury.

Severity of the offense or emergency.

Probability of apprehending the violator (s) at a later time.

Weather and road conditions.

Availability of emergency equipment.

If the potential risk outweighs the benefits, the pursuit of response will not be initiated or will be terminated.
