Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'TAP IFs' protocol for post-incident actions?

The 'TAP IFs' protocol is a mnemonic for managing post-incident actions. It stands for T - Threat down, A - Accomplices, P - Partner/People injured; I - Injured (self/others), F - Firearm status, S - Seek help. This helps individuals systematically address critical tasks after a high-stress event.

What are the risks involved in intervening in a third-party robbery?

Intervening in a third-party encounter carries significant risks, including the possibility of being shot by the perpetrator, facing legal ramifications, and the emotional toll on oneself and one's family. It requires a high level of confidence in one's skills and a willingness to accept these potential consequences.

What is a common tactic used by motorcycle robbers in certain regions?

A common tactic observed in regions like Central and South America involves two individuals on a single motorcycle approaching a target. They quickly dismount, commit the robbery, and then escape on the motorcycle, often using firearms to intimidate victims.

When is compliance the best option during an armed robbery?

Compliance is often the best or only option when a firearm is presented and the victim lacks the means to defend themselves or escape. In such scenarios, relinquishing property may be the safest course of action to avoid physical harm.
