riot/responce

[Lone Hunter]

OK, heres what I would like to know.What is your sog's on response during a riot.Our sog is very incomplete,talks about a task force responce,but does not say to what or in what parts of the city.

If you have a riot do you respond as a task force to all calls? even ems? do you respond this way in all areas or just those near the trouble spots? Does everyone wear bunkers if going to a call like a dumpster fire or just the first in crew? I would prefer to stay in uniform so I could move easier.

What about getting to work?I'm not about to drive my car alone thru a riot.Stage outside of area and carpool in maybe?

Would like to know your sog,and anyone who has worked thru one please respond.

Thank You.

One of the agencies you may want to contact is Boulder Colorado. They have a unique response to riots, usually have 3-4 of them a year near the Univesrity of Colorado Campus. These are small compared to la or what happened in Cincinnatti but its a plan that could benefiet you in case of larger riots.
