Police Station Services

The police station receives a report that gunshots have been fired at a local middle school. The initial news is
that there are fatalities, and panicked children have called their parents. Now, parents have shown up at the
school along with the local media.
Your task as a first responder is to develop a crisis intervention plan. Your plan should include how to do the
following:
Determine the cause of the shooting.
Deal with the media and the parents.
Stop the violence before more students get injured or killed.
