Active Shooter- - ANSWER An active shooter is a suspect whose activity is immediately causing death and serious bodily injury. The activity is not contained and there is immediate risk of death and serious injury to potential victims. Armed Barricaded Suspect - ANSWER An armed barricaded suspect is a suspect who is in a position of tactical advantage, usually barricaded in a room, building or vehicle, who is armed with a weapon. The suspect may or may not be holding hostages and there is no indication that the subject's activity is immediately causing death or serious bodily injury. Traditional Deployment - ANSWER A tactical concept where law enforcement officers maintain a secure perimeter around an armed suspect and wait for specially trained units (SWAT, ERT, ESU) to arrive on scene and intervene. Rapid Deployment - ANSWER The swift and immediate deployment of law enforcement personnel to on-going, life-threatening situations where delayed deployment and engagement could otherwise result in death or great bodily injury to innocent persons. Time Line of Violence - ANSWER The period of time from the suspect's first violent action until the action is stopped or the suspect transitions to another activity. Incident Transition - ANSWER That point in the incident where the "active shooter" stops his/her violent actions and tries to escape or barricades himself/herself. Active Shooter vs. Hostage/Barricaded Suspect(s) - ANSWER 1. The term active shooter is used to describe rapid aggressive response to armed individuals who are actively shooting people at a school campus, workplace, or other public gathering. 2. Active Shooter vs. Hostage/Barricade. A rapid deployment calls for the first responding officer(s) on scene to form 1, 2, 3 or 4 man teams and immediately locate and stop the threat; i.e., gunman(men). Officer response to a hostage/barricade involves setting containment, perimeters, gathering information and requesting appropriate resources (Locate, Isolate, and Control).
