The three major causes of traffic crashes are vehicles, drivers, and roadways. Cause:
How the element is related to the accident
,Name the four reasons why traffic crashes are investigated: - Answer 1. Criminal
prosecution - NRS 480.360.2 states the duties of law enforcement is to, without
limitation: to investigate crashes on all primary and secondary highways within the State
of Nevada resulting in personal injury, property damage or death, and to gather
evidence to prosecute any person guilty of any violation of the law contributing to the
happening of such a crash.
2. Civil liability - Traffic Crash information will be used to settle property damage and
injury claims. The investigation officer maybe called to testify in civil trial or depositions.
3. Public service - Traffic Crash investigation is required by law.
4. Improving the safety of traffic/vehicles - OTS stands for Office of Traffic Safety, State
Date Collection, and the Department of Traffic takes data from crash reports developed
at each law enforcement agency for creating trends found in vehicle or highway design
deficiencies.
Elements of a traffic crash The elements of a traffic crash includes five. It has to be
unplanned, it must be related to a motor vehicle or an object set in motion by a motor
vehicle. It has to be in transport. It has to occur on a highway, and there must be
damage.
Name the three "classifications" of a crash - Answer The three classifications for every
traffic crash regardless of severity are Property Damage, Injury and Death. The cause is
how the element is related to the traffic crash.
Locating drivers and witnesses to include Answer Describe techniques in interviewing
drivers/witnesses An important step in your crash investigation is identifying who the
drivers and passengers in the vehicle were and also any third party witnesses who saw
the crash happen.
Once you have everyone identified, you should get a verbal statement from each person
as to what happened.
Define active assailant -Answer Per the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the
definition of an Active Assailant is "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting
to kill people in a confined and populated area," noting that, "in most cases, active
shooters use firearm(s) and there is generally no pattern or method to their selection of
victims".
,Describe characteristics of an active assailant -Answer While there is no singular set of
criteria that defines or identifies all Active Assailants, there are certain commonalities.
Motivation, religion, and race may vary- in many instances wildly- but history shows
there are certain characteristics shared by the majority of Active Assailants. These
include:
• Active Assailants are likely to engage more than one target. They may target particular
individuals or they may be intent on killing as many randomly chosen people as possible.
Active Shooters often go to location with high concentrations of people, such as
schools, theaters, shopping center, or other places of business.
• The Active Assailant's intentions are generally an expression of hatred or anger, and
not financially motivated or driven by the same motivations as most other types of
crimes. Because of this, police methods of containment and negotiation may not be an
appropriate response to an active shooter.
• The Active Assailants often have put significant amount of planning for the attack. In
most incidents, they were better armed than the police. They generally have some
familiarity with the selected location.
• Active Assailants often, but not always are suicidal. Escape from the police is usually
not a priority of an active shooter. Most active shooters have not attempted to hide their
identity.
In some situations, Active Assailants choose a location for a tactical advantage.
Differentiate between an active assailant and barricade/hostage situations,
deployments are different for each - Answer A true Active Assailant, we learned from its
very definition, is the person actively engaged in the taking of human life.
Key Differences :
• An Active Assailant: A person or persons, regardless of motivation, ideology, or
means, who are actively killing victims.
• A Barricaded Subject: is a suspect who has taken actions to prevent law
enforcement/first responders' entry into a location, and who may or may not have
hostages.
• An Active Assailant can easily transition into a Barricaded Subject status, and
visa-versa.
• The two incidents each call for a very distinct kind of response. Active Assailant
requires instantaneous, resounding action. Barricaded Subjects are better dealt with
together with the department's policy that can include tactical teams, negotiators, etc.
, Active Shooter and Barricaded Subject
Discuss the rationale that law enforcement officers are never off duty to include -
Response Tactical considerations for off-duty / plainclothes officers during active
assailant incidents.
When involved in a plainclothes police action, there needs to be some sort of identifying
method. The main points of a plainclothes intervention would be the perception of the
responding officers.
Confronted by responding officers, you should 1) immediately drop your firearm; 2) limit
movements; 3) ensure that both hands are visible; 4) identify yourself, repeatedly as a
police officer, vocally; 5) immediately comply with all commands; 6) advise them what
you know about the suspect; 7) tell them where your police identification is, but do not
attempt to retrieve it unless told to do so; and, 8) don't assume they know you, should
know you or even believe you.
When one enters any plainclothes police action, most of the time, one is undertaking it
when one is unaccompanied, ill-equipped, and virtually out of reach of effective
communication. These lacunae have to be compensated by a close look at whatever
armamentarium you possess, then carrying out in earnest the plan already formulated.
Answer The number one goal when responding to an active shooter is to stop the threat.
Discuss patrol strategies officers may employ to provide protection and service within
their assigned areas of patrol, to include - Answer 1. Preventative - Preventative patrol
is a form of policing that directly attempts to eliminate opportunity for misconduct. This
is accomplished by increasing the police presence on the street. The goals of
preventative patrol are:
• Deterrence of crime.
• Apprehension of criminals.
• Public demands of services regarding crime are satisfied.
• Security and confidence in the law enforcement agency as an element of development
or growth are instilled.
• Stolen property recovered.
2. Directed Enforcement Another term for this is "hot spot policing".Directed
Enforcement forms special groups targeting issues being faced by a police
department's community.
