In 2019, law enforcement personnel from multiple police agencies in the Vancouver, Washington area responded to an "Active Shooter" - turned - "Barricaded Subject" situation in an elderly high-rise apartment building. As units began to arrive, they were immediately faced with several unique challenges specific to evacuating a high-rise building full of older and infirm residents and identifying, locating and containing the subject. In this case study you will have the opportunity to see and hear how those unique challenges unfolded for this crisis negotiation team. Considerable audio, video and photographs supplement this one-of-a-kind case study.
