First Supervisor on the scene will:

The locations which have been thoroughly checked should be marked so the explosive detector dogs or Bomb Squad can eliminate those not marked as threats.
3. Review established security perimeter and ensure no personnel are deployed in a designated contaminated area without proper protective equipment.

5. Coordinate the evacuation of the area downwind of the spillage or suspected spillage, with the ARMOR section or fire department, in accordance with the Table of Isolation and Evacuation Distances found in the Hazardous Materials Guidebook. Department members will NOT conduct rescues without utilizing the proper equipment and being trained in its use.
6. Request Communications Bureau to make notifications.

Note: ARMOR will advise patrol supervisors of the perimeter size based on the threat.
