Episode Summary
In an active shooter event, where the shooting happened is a crime scene, but it’s not the only one.
Episode Notes
Every active shooter incident involves a minimum of three crime scenes: the location of the shooting, the suspect's mode of transportation, and their residence. But these scenes are just the beginning—additional challenges like jurisdictional coordination, evidence preservation, and responder safety add layers of complexity to these high-stakes situations.
Topics covered include:
- Identifying and managing multiple crime scenes.
- The role of area command in resource allocation.
- The importance of digital forensics and intelligence gathering.
- Challenges posed by mobile attackers and spree events.
- Effective delegation and communication strategies during incidents.
- The critical role of hospitals and reunification centers in response efforts.
Whether you're a first responder, incident commander, or simply interested in emergency management, this episode provides valuable insights into handling these dynamic and resource-intensive events.
