FROM (WEd)10. 23' 02 13:07/ST. 13:07/N0. 4863202067 I. Regional Tactical Response Plan Objective: To capture the sniper immediately following a shooting-event by responding. quickly and uniformly throughout the metropolitan area. The primary focus must be to slow down traffic at strategie points until tactical/air/support units are in place. Once these additional resources are in place, traffic will be released slowly so that officers may safely apprehend a fleeing suspect.. Resources: Uniformed patrol officers Covert surveillance teams Tactical units Air support units (helicopters, airplanes) Canine units Remote traffic management centers Emergency Broadcast System Principal Strategies: Using a map and an overlay with concentric rings indicating 3, 5, 7 and 10 mile points from the center of the overlay, identify significant traffic points along main arteries Rapid dispatch and response by patrol officers to main arteries and at-the appropriate choke points (dependent on time elapsed from event) along with simultaneous dispatch of Other resources (air, covert, tactical, K9 etc.) Patrol officers-must stop all traffic at their assigned posts until other resources are in- place Once support resources are in place and ready, patrol officers open up their traffic points allowing traffic to move in a "slow release"; patrol officers monitor flow until replaced by covert resources A sighting of the suspect vehicle would be followed by air and ground surveillance until a tactical stop can safely be made. This tactic enables better control of a confrontation with a potential suspect when compared with a traditional roadblock. Subordinate Strategies: Imumediate broadcast of the suspect vehicle description via the Emergency Alert System Immediate display of suspect vehicle description on interstate message boards Using remote signal controls (if available), slow traffic by activating red lights on major arterials leading away from the incident Pre-Planninga Each agency should develop a plan to implement this strategy.
