UNIT ORDER # 6

 

CRITICAL INCIDENT FIELD DEBRIEFINGS

 

PURPOSE:

 

One of the most effective training/learning tools that we have at our disposal is the Field Debriefing following critical / tactical incidents.  Our patrol personnel learn a great deal more through hands-on experience than through classroom discussion alone.  Therefore, it is incumbent upon each field supervisor to maximize the impact of field learning situations by conducting timely, in-depth debriefings with all personnel involved in such incidents.

 

ORDER:

 

All Lancaster station patrol supervisors shall conduct Critical Incident Field debriefings as time permits.  For purposes of this Order, a critical incident can be defined as any incident having significant training value which may involve, but not necessarily be limited to the following:

 

  • Code 3 or emergency response
  • Multiple unit response
  • Coordination of two or more responding units
  • Vehicular pursuit
  • Foot pursuit
  • Area containment
  • Use of force
  • Shots fired
  • Establishment of a filed command post
  • Significant safety hazard to deputies / citizens.
  • Crime scene preservation
  • Evacuation etc…

 

Under ideal circumstances, debriefings shall be conducted immediately following the incident or as soon thereafter as conditions permit.
