NDM Flashcards
What are the 5 phases of the NDM?
1) gather information and intelligence
2) assess threat and risk and develop a working strategy
3) consider powers and policy
4) identify options and contingencies
5) take action and review what happened.
What are the intelligence considerations in the NDM?
Where only limited information is available, it is important to establish and maintain an effective information gathering process at an early stage. In protracted or more complex incidents there may be a need to establish a dedicated intelligence function in support of the tactical firearms commander.
The initial response to a situation requiring the deployment of AFOs depends on the intelligence available, the quality of the information received and the resources available for deployment.
Considerations should include:
1) assessment of the current situation, including any threat being posed and to whom
2) persons already subjected to harm and requiring medical attention
3) reported existence of weapons
4) situational information including location and any associated hazards or risks
5) information available about the subject
6) information available about the subject’s associates
7) any community impact factors associated with the event or location.
Under the intelligence phase of the NDM, what are the elements of the assessment of the situation?
An assessment of the situation should take account of:
1) the subject’s physical capacity
2) the subject’s emotional or mental state
3) the subject’s capacity to understand what is happening
4) any cultural, religious and ethnic considerations relevant to the individual or group
5) the locality in which the incident is taking place.
NDM. What are the generic tactical options for firearms incidents?
Generic tactical options to consider include:
- Wait
- Take mitigating action
- Keep the subject under observation
- Investigative assessment
