About the Course:
This 4-hour course gives 9-1-1 dispatchers/calltakers an in-depth understanding of how to use the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch Active Assailant (Shooter) Protocol to gather crucial information and rapidly deploy responders. This protocol is available to all law enforcement, medical, and fire communication centers regardless of Academy membership or use of the Priority Dispatch System. Course includes a manual and scenario drills.
Police Priority Dispatch System Protocol 136 helps dispatchers/calltakers rapidly move through preeminent questions to collect crucial safety and logistical information for responders from those on scene including:
  • Number of assailants
  • Description of weapons involved and if body armor or a bulletproof vest is being worn by the shooter(s)
  • If the shooter(s) was carrying anything (this could indicate explosives)
  • Location of shooter(s) and/or where shots are being fired from
  • Number of people injured, the severity, and their location
  • Number of people trapped at the scene and their location
Protocol 136 also prepares dispatchers/calltakers to give a “zero-minute” response through the use of “expert written” step-by-step Pre-Arrival Instructions, based on the situation at the scene, to help victims maintain their safety until officers and paramedics arrive to help.
