AFTER

  • Keep hands visible and empty.

  • Know the law enforcement’s first task is to end the incident and they may have to pass injured along the way.

  • Officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns or handguns and may use pepper spray or tear gas to control the situation.

  • Officers will shout commands and may push individuals to the ground for their safety.

  • Follow law enforce instructions and evacuate in the direction they come from unless otherwise instructed.

  • Take care of yourself first, and then you may be able to help the wounded before first responders arrive.

  • If the injured are in immediate danger, help get them to safety.

  • While you wait for first responders to arrive, provide first aid.

  • Apply direct pressure to wounded areas and use tourniquets if you have been trained to do so.

  • Turn wounded people onto their sides if they are unconscious and keep them warm.
