One suggestion I have is for all agencies to have a reference manual for critical incidents made up for all members of your agency to use as a study guide and for “quick reference." Of course, in our line of work, we are doing all these tasks quickly because that is what we do to save lives. Look, listen and think before making any decisions. Hostage situations require each of us to remain as calm as possible. Advise you will have a greeting party for sheriff’s deputies, police officers and EMS ready at the front entrance of jail or prison ready to escort them in. Provide all the details you can and answer all questions as best you can. Provide 9-1-1 with location information such as South County Jail, long hallway dorms G&H. Give the 9-1-1 dispatcher your name, rank and agency, then report the hostage situation. When making a call, remain as calm as possible. Issuing laminated cards to front-line staff is also a good idea. When making a 9-1-1 call from jail or prisonĪgencies should have 9-1-1 instruction cards posted in control rooms and supervisors' offices.
