Definitions
Immediate Action Rapid Deployment (IARD) – The swift and immediate deployment of LEO resources to unknown
or on-going life threatening situations where delayed deployment could otherwise result in death or great bodily injury to innocent persons.
Active Shooter – An active shooter is an armed person who has used deadly physical
force on other persons and continues to do so while having unimpeded access to other innocent victims.
The term active shooter does not necessarily mean the subject possesses a firearm but any other weapon and is willfully using deadly physical force.
Definitions
Time Line of Violence – The period of time from the suspects first violent action until his
action is stopped or they transition to another activity.
Incident Transition – That point in the incident where the “active shooter” stops their
violent action and tries to escape or barricades themselves.

until you can verify
who it is.

your life from the

Law Enforcement Officer Theory
Until proven otherwise any unauthorized intruder inside a building must be considered armed, dangerous, and capable of initiating and conducting a plan that includes the mass murder of innocents.
Officers must quickly establish close contact with the intruder(s). This will reduce the potential for mass killing.
The measure of effectiveness of a rapid deployment or rescue must be based upon the amount of innocent lives saved and not the final tally of those killed and injured.
There should be minimal consideration that some citizens may feel “intimidated” by an aggressive response.
Response Priorities
Main Goal
The confrontation, capture or neutralization of the suspect, as soon
as possible.
Priorities of Life
– The lives of those in proximity of the shooter.
– The lives and safety of citizens in the area.
– The safety of Officers.
– The life of the suspect
Who is Going?
Most likely LEO’s.
Non-traditional response.
Minimum number of officers.
Properly trained and equipped.
Able to transition to a barricade situation.
“If not me, then who?”
HB 910
Known as “Open Carry.”
The bill requires anyone
wanting to openly carry a
handgun to obtain a
license.
Applicants must be at
least 21.
Current license holders
grandfathered in.
Remember Be aware of your surroundings.
Assess every situation.
There is safety in numbers.
Always have a plan.
