VI.
Scenarios- The training group has been divided into 3. Rotate which group responds first.
For the contact group release 2 officers every 30 seconds. For the second group release
them half and half, 1 minute apart. 2 minutes later release the entire third group.
GOALS OF SCENARIO TRAINING:
The primary goal of the training scenario is to reinforce the rapid response to stopping the
shooters, then transition quickly into a rescue phase which includes securing the scene to allow
RTF resources into the problem. As additional officers arrive, a perimeter is formed. Warm
areas are given a secondary search and the area is declared cold. In the interest of time limit the
debrief to highlights. Address significant mistakes directly with the student
Scenario 1.
Multiple callers report a shooter has entered the Google building at 1700 Seaport Blvd.
GSOC locked down the building and front door requires breaching. The shooter was last seen on
the second floor shooting into offices at random
Scenario 2.
One caller reported a man with a gun walking into the office at MV High. Text 911 has
received numerous texts reporting shots fired in the cafeteria. No caller has answered Comm's
questions on text. Officers arrive and encounter students fleeing the building.
Scenario 3.
Caller reports two shooters entered the lobby of Google and started shooting employees.
They are armed with rifles and are working together.
