So I want to change direction a bit and add a different element to this thread. It has now become the "Ask a……AND Law Enforcement Scenario" thread. The scenarios will be critical thinking exercises for those with no law enforcement experience. I'm looking for step-by-step breakdowns and for the purpose of the exercises we'll assume you have all of the resources available (…SWAT, K9, Aero, Bomb Squad, etc……although in the real world that is not always the case). My purpose in each scenario will be to add complexity that will force you to make a difficult decision that you'll have to stand tall for. Sometimes it might be a shoot/don't shoot scenario and other times it could be some other impactful decision.
Critical thinking exercise #1: You're a state Trooper and you obs a vehicle on the side of the road. It looks like the occupants of the vehicle are in distress. You make contact and you become aware that one of the occupants is mentally challenged and emotional. His movements potentially place him in danger of injuring himself or someone else. What would YOU do?!?! |

Social workers don't respond in the field and certainly won't be anywhere that isn't Code 4 (…like the side of the road with a person who isn't detained). |

If the person had a confirmed heart condition and you were made aware, how would that change your course of action? P.S. I fully acknowledge that you and/or other non-law enforcement personnel don't have the training. I just want to stimulate thought and I'm curious about the reasoning of the untrained. Many people love to quarterback the actions of police, so it's a great exercise to place yourself in the same position(s). Plus, it's fun for me to help educate. You never know, it might help you one day. |

Pepper spray if required, tie them to a gurney, and ship them off by ambulance to the hospital ER until they can be seen by a psychologist.
I highly doubt that most police officers have the medical credentials to determine if someone's mental state is clinically wrong. Plus, are we even allowed to call someone mentally challenged in the PC world of 2021?????

So, what are we doing with the person on the side of the road who has been determined to be a danger to themselves?????

Turn off sirens
Ask the father to try and bring the son off to the non-traffic side of the car. Ask father if flashing lights are an issue for the son. If the son continues to display lack of self-control, and/or shows potential for running away from father (has dad grabbed a hold of a hand or arm already?) then call for backup to block traffic lane immediately adjacent to the vehicle. Check my cruiser trunk to see if I have a teddy bear or similar comfort device available. Slowly approach father/son with comfort device clearly visible, speaking in low voice offering to son. If receptive, ask son if he'd like to look inside the cruiser, maybe play with the lights and sirens. This gets him out of traffic lanes potentially. |
