CIVIL DISTURBANCE PLAN

PREFACE
The Louisville Division of Police CIVIL DISTURBANCE PLAN has
been updated to serve as a current guide for police response
during a major civil disorder situation. The purpose of
this plan is to assist departmental personnel in organizing
and operating effectively under emergency conditions. Devi
ation from specific procedural guidelines presented in this
plan may be necessary when problems arising from a specific
situation dictate alternate handling. Additional procedures
for responding to unusual occurences may be found in the
Louisville and Jefferson County Emergency Operations Plan.
As a general rule, the CIVIL DISTURBANCE PLAN should be im
plemented when command officers of this department recognize
that a situation involving escalating civil disorder may re
quire a major commitment of departmental resources for an
extended period of time.
One of the keys to presenting a well-organized, disciplined,
and professional appearance is preparation. It is strongly
recommended that this plan be rehearsed at least annually.
In-service training in riot control techniques should be
given to all sworn personnel on a regular basis. Rehearsal
and in-service training not only ensures that all equipment
is in working order, but also that divisional personnel are
adequately trained and, when called upon in extraordinary
circumstances, perform with the professionalism consistent
with the standards of the Louisville Division of Police.
Monthly inventory lists should be maintained by each dis
trict, bureau, or unit commander. Inventory and personnel
call-up lists for this plan should be reviewed and revised
on a regular basis.
This plan should be reviewed annually and updates made as to
any changes in procedures, laws, facilities, etc.

CHAPTER 1: CONDITIONS LEADING TO MOBILIZATION
A. Initial Response
1. When an officer, by observation or by routine call,
encounters an incident which may grow into a larger
incident, he/she should call for additional help im
mediately. The dispatcher will immediately send a
commanding officer and at least one (1) other patrol
unit to the scene.
B. Threatening Situation
1. If the co~manding officer deems additional units
other than those immediately available from the
platoon working, they will be dispatched in the fol
lowing manner: (Only the units dispatched will re
spond.)
a. Fourth platoon personnel working in the district
involved.
b. Fourth platoon units working in other districts.
2. Records should be maintained in the Communications
Section of the number of officers dispatched to the
area of the disturbance and one (1) radio channel
cleared as a detail channel.
3. At this stage of the escalation, the district cap
tain, or acting captain, will respond to the scene.
If the district captain, or acting captain, is off
duty, the order of call-up should be the following:

b. The captain, or acting captain (if Night Chief
is not on duty) should be called in from off
duty status.
c. Duty officer (if none of the above are avail
able) .
4. The ranking officer present will automatically be
come the Field Commander until relieved by higher
command. All decisions must be his/hers and in
structions must be carried out as though they were
coming from the Chief of Police.
5. The Field Commander will set up his/her police unit
as a Field Command Post and locate it just outside
the range of the disturbance.
C. Escalating Disorder
1. At this stage, if the Field Commander determines
that the manpower available at the scene is insuffi
cient to control the disturbance, he/she may request
additional personnel in the following manner:
a. Up to fifty percent (50%) of working patrol
units in adjoining districts.
b. Up to fifty percent (50%) of working patrol
units in other districts.
2. A sufficient number of ranking officers, of the rank
of lieutenant or sergeant, should be sent to the
area of the disturbance so that there is one (1)
ranking officer for ev~ry seven (7) patrol officers.
At the emergency stage, these assignments will be
made at the Field Command Post.

CHAPTER 1: CONDITIONS LEADING TO MOBILIZATION
a. Communications Section personnel should ensure
that at least three (3) of the units dispatched
to the incident are equipped with tear gas and
other riot equipment.
b. If a district has a lieutenant and sergeant both
working, they should be dispatched to the Com
mand Post. The sergeant should remain with the
police unit and the lieutenant should return to
his/her area and supervise remaining manpower.
3. On instructions from the Field Commander, Communi
cations Section personnel will notify the Commander
of Operations of the incident and place all off-duty
Operations Bureau commanding officers of the rank of
captain and above on alert in the event that the in
cident develops into the "Severe Situation" stage
a~d mobilization of off-duty personnel is required.
4. Communications Section personnel will acknowledge
only necessary police runs. Property damage acci
dents, drunks, tow-ins, and similar routine runs
will not be made. Citizens calling for routine ser
vices will be advised that circumstances prevent a
police unit being dispatched at this time. For
calls deserving police attention, only the necessary
unit(s) will be dispatched. Communications person
nel should be on their guard against false calls for
emergency help, designed to divert police manpower
from the scene of the disturbance. If a call is re
ceived from other than a police officer reporting a
disturbance breaking out in another area, only one
(1) unit will be initially dispatched to verify the
authenticity of the call.

5. The Traffic Bureau commanding officer will be con
tacted to establish perimeter control. The ranking
traffic commanding officer on duty will quickly sur
vey the situation, estimating the area involved and
the problem at hand, and establish perimeter posts
accordingly.
6. With fifty percent (50%) of the working patrol units
committed to the incident and no immediate control
of the situation apparent, the condition of "Severe
Situation" should be implemented.
D. Severe Situation
1. At this stage, all commanding officers previously
notified are to begin to mobilize their respective
commands. (See Chapter 2, "Mobilization" for mobi
l izing off-duty personnel.)
2. The Field Commander may, at this time, request the
Communications Section to make arrangements to have
the Command Post Trailer moved to a location he/she
deems appropriate. (See Chapter 4, "Organization")
3. The Superintendent of Traffic should initiate a sur
vey of the areas involved and determine emergency
routes to and from the area of disturbance. He will
ensure that these routes are kept open and accessi
ble at all times.
4. In establishing these routes, the Superintendent of
Traffic should take into consideration:
a. The need of access of fire equipment, emergency
hospital runs, incoming supporting forces, evac
uation routes, and any other special transporta-

a. When it appears that fifty percent (50%) of the
department's working force will be unable to
contain the situation, off-duty personnel will
be mobilized. Each district and bureau will
have an up-to-date list of all the addresses and
phone numbers of all personnel, including un
listed numbers. Officers not having phones
should provide means by which they can be con
tacted by the Division. Each district, bureau,
and unit will be responsible for contacting off
duty personnel assigned to them. This function
may be performed by a patrol officer or dis
trict, bureau, and unit clerk so ordered by com
petent authority. Contact procedures should be
as follows:
1) First contact is to be made with. all offi
cers who are due to report to work on the
next on-coming platoon. This will include
those who are scheduled for off-days.
2) Second contact is to be made with all offi
cers who reported off-duty on the last
platoon. This will also include those offi
cers who are scheduled on off-days.

of S.W.A.T., the Hostage Negotiating Team,
Bomb Squad, Canine Unit, or the Chemical
Weapons Team will respond as a unit, report i ng to their commanders at a location speci
fied by that commander. The commanders of
each unit will then report to the Field
Commander the availability and strength of
their respective units. If the Field
Commander deems additional manpower neces
sary from these specialized units, every ef
fort should be made to keep squads formed
from these units together so that in the
event they are needed for specialized ser
vice they can respond quickly and effi
ciently. ( See Chapter 6, "Special Squads
and Units")
b. Off days and vacations will be cancelled.
Twelve (12) hour shifts will be established for

CHAPTER 3: MUTUAL AID AND SUPPORT SERVICES
Any major unusual occurrence, whether a natural disaster,
such as a tornado, or a civil disturbance, such as a riot
will probably require some assistance from a variety of out
side agencies, i.e., law enforcement, military, corrections,
utilities, etc. For the purpose of this chapter, these out
side agencies are divided into categories of "Mutual Aid"
and "Support Services."
A. Mutual Aid
The mutual aid police departments listed all have arrest
powers anywhere in Jefferson County with the exception
of the University of Louisville Police Department.
Sworn personnel of the Louisville Division of Police
hav e county-wide arrest powers and can be called upon by
other agencies within Jefferson County.
Should the Louisville Division of Police be requested to
respond to any situation by another agency within
Jefferson County, the general outline and guidelines of
this manual should be followed.
Any mutual aid provided by the Louisville Division of
Police to an agency outside of Jefferson County must be
contingent upon a written agreement with that agency and
the City of Louisville pursuant to KRS 65.210 through
KRS 65.300.
KRS 65.255 states, "If an agreement entered into under
the authority of KRS 65.210 to 65.300 provides for coop
erative action in the utilization of peace of officers,
police department members, while in the performance of
their duties under such an agreement outside their own
city or county, shall have the full power of arrest and
all other powers they possess in their own city or
county and shall have the same immunities and privileges

1. Mutual aid agencies
a. Jefferson County Police Department
1) The primary agency for mutual aid in the
City of Louisville is the Jefferson County
Police Department. The Jefferson County Po
lice Department can furnish immediate emer
gency support of approximately one-half
their working force, which will be about

additional forty (40) officers can be mobi
lized within one hour, with a maximum
mobilization of 100 officers, all trained in
riot control techniques.
2) Jefferson County Police officers are fully
equipped with tear gas, gas masks, bullet
proof vests and other riot gear. The de
partment also has additional patrol wagons,
a fully equipped communications trailer, a
bomb disposal unit, and two helicopters.

b. Jeffersontown Police Department
1) The Jeffersontown Police Department has ap
proximately thirty-five (35) sworn personnel
with about five (5) officers on duty at any
one time. These officers would be best uti
lized to supplement undermanned department
patrol forces in the east end of the city.
2) Jeffersontown police officers have the power
of arrest within the city of Louisville.
c. Kentucky State Police
1) The Kentucky State Police can supply up to
seventy-five (75) troopers to the Louisville
area within one (1) hour, with a maximum
mobilization effort of up to three hundred
(300) troopers within four (4) hours.
2) Kentucky State Police troopers are trained
in riot control techniques and are fully
equipped with gas masks, bullet-proof vests,
helmets, and other riot gear. The State Po
lice has sixteen (16) SRT units (equivalent
to S.W.A.T.) with special weapons and equip
ment available. In addition the department
has several fixed-wing aircraft available
for use.
3) When a disturbance appears to be escalating
to the extent that the Kentucky State Police
should be notified, a call should be made to
the Elizabethtown Post. The Kentucky State
Police will send in observers in order to

4) When the support of the Kentucky State Po
lice is needed, the Chief of Police will in
form the Mayor of the City of Louisville (or
his authorized representative), who will, in
turn, contact the Governor (or his author
ized representative), and request the as
sistance of the Kentucky State Police.
5) Kentucky State Police troopers have the
power of arrest within the City of
Louisville, but most are unfamiliar with the
geography of the city.
d. Shively Police Department
1) The Shively Police Department has approxi-
mately twenty (20) sworn officers and ten
(10) part-time sworn officers with about
five (5) officers are on duty at any one
time. While Shively Police officers are
trained in riot control techniques, they
would be better utilized in answering calls
for service in the west and south ends of
the city as a supplement to undermanned de
partment patrol forces.
2) Shively Police officers have the power of
arrest within the City of Louisville.
e. St. Matthews Police Department
1) The St. Matthews Police Department has ap

3) While Jefferson County Corrections Depart
ment officers have the power of arrest in
Jefferson County, their primary function
would be to handle booking procedures.
h. Jefferson County Sheriff's Department
1) The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department
has approximately fifty (50) regular depu
ties, one hundred (100) uniformed special
deputies, and two hundred (200) special dep

inal law, civil liability, and crowd con
trol, and maintain yearly weapons'
qualifications. These officers could best
be utilized in the transportation of prison
ers, mass arrests, crowd control at perime
ter areas of the disturbance and security at
other facilities.

3) Special deputies may best be utilized in
evacuation of designated areas and other no
tification needs.
4) All Jefferson County Sheriffs have city and
county-wide arrest powers and are familiar
with the geography of the city.
i. Kentucky National Guard
1) The Kentucky National Guard has over one
thousand (1,000) troops in the Louisville
area. Once activated, up to five hundred
(500) troops could be mobilized within an

3) Kentucky National Guard troops would be best
utilized for perimeter control, protection
of critical area, protection of fire equip
ment, and such similar duties.
4) Kentucky National Guard troops can be acti
vated only upon orders from the Governor or
his representative, after request by the
Mayor or his representative. If it is deter
mined that the Kentucky National Guard may

for the request of troop activation through
the appropriate channels. When requesting
the National Guard through Louisville &
Jefferson County Disaster & Emergency Ser
vices the following information will be
needed:
a) For what purposes are the Guard being
requested (guarding fire houses/fire
trucks, perimeter security, etc.)?
b) How many troops will be needed?
c) Who are the troops to report to?
d) How long will troops be needed?
e) When will the troops be needed?
5) When the National Guard is authorized by the
Governor to activate in a civil disturbance,
they have the same authority as civilian of
ficers. It should be remembered, however,
that National Guard troops have not had
training in applicable laws, recognition of
probable cause, etc. National Guard troops
should be accompanied by a civilian law
enforcement officer for this reason.
j. Regular Army Support
1) In accordance with KRS 39.430, any requests
for services, equipment, supplies, materi
als, or any other type of support from the
federal government, for the purposes of dis
aster and emergency response must be made

through the Governor who must, in turn, con
tact the proper representative of the fed
eral government.
2) Organization of the regular Army for riot
control support has streamlined the acti
vation of troops and reduced mobilization
time. The Army Intelligence Branch has two
(2) representatives in this area who are re-
quired to report to Washington every two (2)
hours. Washington is always aware of
threatening situations and troops can be
more readily made available.
3) If regular Army troops are brought into the
City of Louisville, they must perform under
federal control. However, in riot condi
tions, where the area is alien to the
troops, local and civil authorities must be
relied upon for direction. Under Presiden
tial directive, the military can be permit
ted to perform under the direction of civil
authorities.
4) Military equipment is available for police
needs in civil emergencies. Louisville &
Jefferson County Disaster & Emergency Ser
vices should be notified as the contact li
aison with the military.
2. Procedures for implementing mutual aid
a. After deciding a situation is beyond the ability
of the Louisville Division of Police to contain,
the Chief of the Louisville Division of Police
should contact the respective chiefs or

CHAPTER 4: ORGANIZATION
A. Organizational Shock
1. "Organizational shock" may be defined as the lack of
understanding of responsibility and command. This
situation may occur when an individual, who is ac
customed to a routine set of duties, is suddenly
thrust into a situation completely different from
that routine, and is placed under the command of a
superior officer other than whom that officer may
have previously worked.
2. In order to avoid "organizational shock," assignment
of duties must be clearly defined to each officer
and to each commanding officer. Without clear-cut
instructions to each officer, there is no under
standing or organization.
B. Staging Area Command {Normally Police Headquarters)
1. Staging area commander
a. For the purpose of forming operational units for
riot area assignments, the top commanding offi
cer immediately available will be assigned as
staging area commander.
b. This position should be temporarily assumed by a
captain or top ranking supervisor. At the first
opportunity, a captain should be assigned as
staging area commander and will have ·the respon
sibility for staging area security.
c. The Commander of the Police Information Center
will assume permanent responsibility for staging
area security if the staging area is Police
Headquarters.

d. Use of chemical agents
1) If chemicals are to be used, the type of gas
and general plan for its use are decided be
forehand; the manner of use is determined on
the spot. The types of chemical now in com
mo n use are smoke (HC) color code yellow,
a nd tear gas (CN) color code red, and (CS)
color code blue. The following notes may be
helpful to field commanders in determining
what type of chemical to use in any given
circumstance.
a)
b)
Smoke (HC) has been advocated as a rela
tively harmless weapon to disperse mobs.
It has a psychological impact especially
when colored smokes are used. It causes
individuals to lose contact with one an
other, thus weakening mass unity. Com
munication between rioters and leaders
is lessened. Smoke may also be used to
screen the movement of the police.
CN gas has proven to be a relatively
safe chemical to use in the control and
dispersion of mobs. This type of gas
causes irritation of the eyes, tears,
and a burning sensation in the mucous
areas of the body. These symptoms are
fleeting and will usually disappear
within a few minutes after the victim is
removed from the contaminated area.
This type of gas may be used indoors and
outdoors since decontamination is accom
plished without any difficulty.

c) CS gas is also useful in the control and
dispersion of mobs and for other outdoor
uses. Its effects are more intense and
longer lasting than CN gas and decontam
ination is considerably more difficult.
CS gas should be used in out-of-door
situations, except in the case of 12
gauge "ferret" rounds, which may be used
in buildings and automobiles.
2) Care should be taken in using any chemical
agent to insure that a pyrotechnic grenade
or shell (one which emits gas by a burning
action) is not used indoors or in an ex
plosive situation, as in the area of a fill
ing station. The AAI brand of grenades,
which are issued to each District, are safe
for use in such situations.

A. Public Rights
CHAPTER 8: POLICY GUI~iLINES
APPE.1\DIX ___________ _
EFFECTIVE DATE
8-1-90
1. In police-community relations regarding civil dis
turbances, the police must recognize the right of
lawful demonstrations and demonstrators must recog
nize their responsibilities. There must be a fair
and impartial enforcement of law for all members of
the community.
2. Any serious, unlawful demonstration which threatens
the safety of the public or its property must be
dealt with quickly and decisively to protect the
rights and property of the citizen.
3. There is a difference between crowd control and the
control of a civil disturbance. Crowd control en
compasses parades, sporting events, large meetings
and peaceful demonstrations. Crowd control can often
be accomplished with a minimum of problems by pro
viding limitations on crowd members' activities or
by advising such persons what behavior will and will
not be acceptable. Isolated arrests of persons such
as "drunks" or "rowdies" are usually accepted by a
crowd. Civil disturbances are characterized by a
lawless element--intent upon damage of property, in
jury of persons, interferences with normal business
operations and the normal movement of traffic.
These civil disturbances usually result in other
crimes of violence by both those participating in
the disturbance and others not participating but
taking advantage of the situation. As a civil dis
turbance develops, the primary goal of law enforce
ment is the restoration of law and order, which
often may require the use of force. This force
should be only that which is lawful and necessary.

4. Officers of ail ranks should be familiar with the
departmental policy on the use of force and at what
level of the disturbance various degrees of force
should be instituted.
B. Firearms
1. Members of the Louisville Division of Police are re
stricted in the use of firearms by Kentucky Revised
Statutes as well as departmental policy. Officers
are permitted to use firearms in defense of them
selves and in defense of the lives of others.
2. Special attention must be given to firearms due to
the adverse effect their employment may generate.
The use of firearms for protection of the officer,
of other officers, and of innocent citizens is not
questioned. However, when other alternatives are
available (i.e., tear gas, smoke, etc.) use of
firearms against riot participants should be
avoided. Before discharging a firearm, the follow
ing must be considered:
a. In looting and rioting, the application of
deadly force cannot be justified in the absence
of overt acts which immediately endanger the
lives of others.
b. Once an establishment has been burglarized,
looting is a continuous action. The act of re
moving an article from such premises, regardless
of its value, does not justify use of deadly
force. The discharge of chemical agents into
the building to prevent further looting should
be considered.

c. The selection of shoulder weapons for applying
deadly force should be considered. Automatic
weapons would be undesirable where their indis
criminate fire patterns would endanger the lives
of innocent persons.
d. The possibility that use of deadly force will
incite rather than quiet the disorder must be
considered. When necessary to protect life,
deadly force should be used discriminately; how
ever, such force should be avoided whenever pos
sible. Under NO circumstances will shots be
fired indiscriminately into a mob or crowd.
C. Physical Force
1. Treatment of prisoners
a. Rule #2.131 specifies that "Officers are re
quired to protect and safeguard their prisoners
and are charged with their safety during that
time they are under the officer's control. Of
ficers are required to take every precaution to
prevent escape of the prisoners."
b. Rule #2.133 specifies that "Officers are prohib
ited from abusing or permitting another to abuse
a prisoner while in their custody."
c. Under riotous conditions, this policy ·remains in
effect.
2. Use of tear gas
a. Tear gas will be immediately available and used
at the discretion of the top commanding officer

present. In the absence of any commanding offi
cers, the senior officer present will make the
decision as to when to use tear gas.
3. Use of chemicals
a. Grenades should not be thrown into a crowd due
to the possibility of them being thrown back at
police officers. Grenades should be launched
into the air over the crowd so that the burst
will occur several feet into the air upwind over
the crowd.
b. If the wind is blowing towards the crowd,
grenades may be activated on the ground well
away from the group. Grenades placed five (5)
yards apart will converge into a solid mass
about twenty-five (25) yards downwind.
c. ~hen rioters or snipers are barricaded in a
building, CN gas, rather than CS gas, should be
used.
4. Use of Physical Force
a. In accordance with Rule #4.131 of departmental
RULES AND STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, "Officers are
required to resort to the use of physical force
only:"
1) To protect himself against the use or immi
nent use of unlawful physical force.
2) To protect another officer or third person
against the use or imminent use of unlawful
physical force, and the person he seeks to

2) "When animals are seriously injured, or pose
a threat to persons, when no other disposi

been given prime consideration."
b. In accordance to Rule #4.123 and 4.124 of the
RULES AND STANDARDS OF CONDUCT, "Firing at or
from moving vehicles is generally prohibited,
except in the following situations:
1) Where it is necessary to return gunfire to
protect human life.
2) Where a moving vehicle is operated in a man

is attempting to kill an officer or another
person, and firing at the vehicle and its
driver is the only way to save an innocent

c. Uniforms
1) All uniformed personnel will report in uni

1) Blue (or red and blue) lights and siren will
be used under emergency conditions where
speed may contribute to the preservation of
life but should be kept to a minimum during
conditions of civil disturbance.
2) Indiscriminate use of blue (or red and blue)
lights and siren during a civil disturbance
may cause an escalation in crowd hostil
ities.
e. Fingerprinting
1) During periods of civil disturbance, all
adult persons arrested for riot or a
demonstration-connected offense, regardless
of charge, will be fingerprinted. This pro
cedure may help identify mob insurgents and
other leaders participating in civil disor
ders in or from other jurisdictions.
f. Curfew
1) If a curfew may be legally employed, it
should be declared as early as possible and
enforced rigorously. Failure of police of
ficers to enforce curfew rules may encourage
contempt of the law and cause further dis
turbance.

CHAPTER 10: STRATEGY
APPE1'DIX ___________ _
EFFECTIVE DA TE 8-1- 90
1. The overall strategy of riot control is based upon
the concepts of:
a. Containment.
b. Isolation.
c. Dispersal.
d. Sweep-up.
2. The advantage of law enforcement in riot situations
is discipline, training and equipment. Each indi
vidual must know his/her responsibility as well as
the goals and objectives of his/her unit. A pre-set
plan of action, under the direction of commanding
officers, is necessary. Plans are made using the
factors of decisiveness, speed, a show of force, and
the proper use of equipment.
B. Containment
1. The first goal in a riot situation is to contain the
crowd within certain boundaries.
2. Sufficient manpower for containment must be dis
patched.
3. The highest ranking officer in the district will be
responsible for determining the boundaries of the
riot, transmitting all known information about the
riot and its boundaries to the radio room, and to
see that the inner perimeter is established.

4. Officers on the perimeter will control ingress and
egress of spectators, trouble makers, militants,
demonstrators or other persons.
C. I sol a tion
1. An outer perimeter, completely surrounding the crit
ical area, must be established. Its purpose is to
provide an area in which personnel and equipment can
function.
2. All traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, must be di
verted from the area. The outer perimeter will en
compass staging or assembly areas, the Command Post,
first aid stations, parking areas, food and shelter
areas, and other support functions.
D. Dispersal
1. The concept of dispersal involves destroying mob or
ganization, breaking its will to resist, and restor
ing law and order. In order to accomplish this, an
impressive show of force is needed. All officers
being held on a reserve basis should be used at this
time.
2. All personnel should be assembled within the outer
perimeter areas, out of the sight of the mob and
marched in military fashion into the critical area.
This operation should be executed as a well
organized surprise tactic. All police officers must
remain organized and give the appearance of a well
prepared, adequately equipped, highly disciplined
force.

EFFECTIVE DA TE 8-1-90
3. Leaders and trouble makers should be arrested and
removed from the area in order to prevent regroup
ing.
4. An avenue of escape should be provided to allow the
mob to disperse. As crowd members disperse, police
officers should follow, continually breaking rioters
into smaller groups.
5. If the initiative has been lost to the rioters it is
imperative that it be swiftly recaptured by the po
lice. The tactics and strategy employed should aim
toward this goal. Experience has shown that rioting
at the expense of constituted authority, or any ap
parent reluctance of the police to put down rioting,
will only encourage the forces of disorder and in
spire others to join them.
6. A unit leader, given a dispersal mission, should not
permit his unit to deviate from that mission. The
tendency to become embroiled in incidents that are
observed enroute to an assignment should be avoided.
Such incidents should be reported, but there should
be no engagement of the unit.
7. In appraising the situation, the unit leader should
determine the direction in which he intends to scat
ter the crowd. A riotous crowd should not be dis
persed into a business district or other area
containing attractive looting targets. Crowd mem
bers should be driven away from such targets and to
ward an area where the physical features tend to
break it up into small groups, or into open spaces
where little damage can be done. As the unit moves
in, the leader should note the direction in which
the rioters are scattering and be alert to the pos-

CHAPTER 10: STRATEGY
sibility of rioters going into buildings and re
forming to attack the rear of the unit.
8. Attacking a disorderly crowd from two or more di
rections at once makes dispersal easier because each
section being attacked fears for its own safety,
thus defeating the common purpose linking the
rioters.
9. A crowd cannot be bottled up completely. Members
should be allowed an avenue of escape, otherwise the
rioters may feel they have no alternative but to
stand and fight.
10. Dispersal and attack tactics may require the great
est exertion of police force. An attack such as
this can be accomplished upon a small but violent
group as well as a large group. While the attack is
in progress, control of elevated positions should be
attempted.
11. Officers deployed properly on roof tops will be in
positions to spot potential problems. Rock throwers
are often found to the rear of a crowd or hiding be
hind a building where they cannot be spotted by
ground units which are being bombarded.
12. Dispersal by means of tear gas is preferable to a
face-to-face encounter.
E. Sweeping the Area -- Mop Up
1. After a successful attack, crowd members should be
followed up, hurried, and prevented from re-forming.
Rioters should be driven off the streets but · not

onto property or into buildings where they do not
belong. Agitators should be arrested.
a. Mopping up can be accomplished by deploying
squads to sweep through the riot-affected area
on a broad front.
b. Sweeping tactics should be used to clear an area
infested with small and elusive groups of
rioters or when it is apparent that the crowd is
giving way and breaking easily into smaller
groups.
c. All functions of riot control, through dispersal
of disorderly groups, must be executed by law
enforcement or military personnel. If, at any
time, consideration is to be given to the riot
ing group to police their own (i.e., appointing
wardens), it should be done only after the situ
ation has been controlled by law enforcement and
the mob dispersed. Even then, all volunteer po
licing by the rioting group should be under
close scrutiny of law enforcement personnel.
The rioters should not be given an opportunity
to regroup or reorganize; law enforcement con
trol should not be removed until conditions have
returned to normal.
d. Under no circumstances should law enforcement
personnel be withdrawn from any area involved in
riot or disorder to permit any leaders entering
the area to conduct discussions, negotiate
agreements, or attempt to disperse the rioters.
Under all conditions, forces in a particular
area should remain in that area to protect life

forces.
e. Mobile units patrolling the area will prevent
regrouping by rioting members. Fixed posts can
be established within the area with adequate
communications. A reserve unit must be main
tained at the Command Post until normal condi
tions are restored.
f. Entry of the critical area by self-styled lead
ers (civil, fraternal, religious, etc.) to at
tempt to quail the disturbance at its height
will not be permitted without authorization of
the Chief of Police. Experience has proven that
such efforts are ineffective when rioting is
widespread; in many instances, the personal
safety of a well-meaning individual is jeopard
ized or the mob is inflamed further by his/her
appearance.
g. Small groups remaining in the disturbed area can
be dispersed by bringing squad pressure to bear
on the specific locations of these groups.
Sweeps can be expedited by assigning them to mo
bile units that dismount only when necessary to
engage a group of rioters.
h. Sweeps are particularly effective in ferreting
out rioters who have hidden within the area.

tion accomplishes nothing and provides snipers
with excellent targets.
j. The sweep should be a steadily advancing force
which disperses small groups and arrests viola
tors. The pace should be slow enough to observe
inside buildings, side streets, and alleys. Of
ficers should not break ranks to chase rioters.
If units are deployed properly on the flanks,
rioters escaping one sweep unit will undoubtedly
run into a flanking unit.
F. Establishing Mobile and Foot Squad Patrols
1. Plans should be made for establishing mobile and
foot squad patrols simultaneously with preparations
for a dispersal or attack.
2. If at all possible, a mobile squad patrol should be
implemented along the periphery of the affected area
at the same time the dispersal is made. A mobile
squad patrol consists of seven (7) officers and one
(1) sergeant working in two (2) patrol units operat
ing together.
3. The area to be covered by a mobile patrol should not
be too extensive. If this area is densely popu
lated, there may be a need for foot patrol in
squads. If foot patrols are employed, they should
be linked with the mobile patrols.
4. Ultimately, mobile and foot squad patrols should de
velop a tight net over the entire affected area.
These patrols should handle calls for emergency ser
vice, gather and report information, prevent groups
from forming, and handle all emergencies in their

assigned area. Patrols from other areas should not
respond on their own volition to calls for service.
Any movement out of the assigned area should be at
the discretion of the Field Commander only.
G. Sealing Off the Area -- Perimeter Control
1. Once some of the more vital control problems have
been taken care of, it may be necessary for the po
lice to seal off the disturbed area by establishing
a perimeter control. The area is best isolated by
an extended line of roadblocks surrounding it.
2. Units deployed to seal off an area should be con
nected by either mobile or foot patrols responsible
for patrolling within a reasonable distance from the
strong points. These patrols are then in position
to deal with smaller groups intent upon harassing a
roadblock. Four (4) officers in a vehicle on con
stant patrol will help to create an impression of a
high degree of police visibility.
H. Show of Force
1. The show of force should be used only in instances
of a positive threat of riot. A show of force at an
early stage of a peaceful demonstration could result
in a riot; however, a show of force at the proper
time will act as a deterrent to riot. For a
peaceful demonstration, a minimum show of force
should be employed. However, a strong reserve force
should be kept on stand-by in a relatively close
area but out of view of demonstrators. The decision
to call in this reserve force at the proper time
should be made by the ranking commanding officer on

the scene. Officers at the scene of a demonstration
should:
a. Observe the source of potential trouble rather
than activities which may be more attractive.
These activities may be diversionary acts.
b. Ignore verbal "baiting" and name calling in
tended to provoke police into an incident which
could escalate into a riot. Do not engage in
unnecessary conversation.
c. Locate and identify leaders and potential trou
ble makers.
d. Use the minimum show of force necessary to con
trol the specific situation. Unwarranted use of
large scale forces will incite mob action from
a~ otherwise peaceful crowd. When a show of
force becomes necessary, the mere display of a
large force may give control to law enforcement
authorities.
e. Use chemicals and/or tear gas as warranted after
use or display of a large force if control is
not regained.
f. Use a surprise show of force as an advantage
against a mob. Police forces should assemble at
a place near, but out of sight of, the mob.
When the show of force is made, the forces
should march in a well-organized group.
g. Avoid a slow commitment of forces. A weak show
of force displays weakness and invites resist
ance .
