Frequently Asked Questions

When is immediate engagement appropriate in an active threat situation?

Immediate engagement is appropriate if you are directly on the 'X' (the immediate threat location) and are armed. This means you are in a position to directly confront and neutralize the threat.

What are the primary risks of closing distance in an active threat zone?

The primary risk of closing distance into an active threat zone without direct engagement is encountering friendly fire from responding law enforcement. It's a dangerous situation to be in if not actively involved in neutralizing the threat.

What should an armed individual do if they are not directly engaging an active threat?

If not directly engaging, an armed individual should hang low, act as a good observer, and be ready to render medical aid. This role is crucial for supporting the overall response and mitigating casualties.
