Third-party intervention carries significant moral and tactical risks. Defenders must be highly skilled and confident, as they are voluntarily entering a dangerous situation with potential legal and physical consequences.

T-A-P-I-F-S stands for Threat down, Accomplices check, Partner status, Injury check, Firearm condition, Follow-up actions, and Seeking help. It's a protocol for managing the situation after a deadly force encounter.
