Question 5

what are the important points to remember for “Entry to the building/Movement into rooms”

Answer 5

(i) Entry to the building is at one point only. This is to avoid the danger of crossfire and mistaken identity that may arise from multiple entries. This also applies to the Exit point which should be the same as the Police Entry point.

(ii) As police approach a doorway or opening that they intend to enter, they should keep in mind the concept of assessing the threshold. Remember that if the offender/s
is inside, they will be aware of this point and may be watching this area. As police enter, framed by the doorway or window, they make an excellent target.

(iii) The police should search as much of the area that they are about to enter from cover. To do this safely they should use the quartering technique. This technique involves the police working together and searching most of the room that they wish to enter from a position of safety using angles. If the police confront an offender, they can give commands from a position of safety, using the structure of the building to provide them with either cover or concealment
