Active Shooter Response. Objectives. OBJECTIVES. What are the 3 objectives (primary,
secondary, tertiary) for an active shooter?
a. The primary objective of officers responding to an active shooter incident is to
move to, confront, and stop the active shooter(s) as quickly as possible through the use of a reasonable force option.
b. The secondary objective of responding officers is the rescue of victims and
innocent bystanders, and the treatment and evacuation of injured victims. While it is important to provide medical aid to victims, officers must first protect all potential victims by stopping the violence of the active shooter(s). If responding officers stop to treat a victim before the active shooter(s) is stopped, more victims may potentially be injured or killed.

The overall use of force policy is grounded in reasoning by the United States (U.S.) Supreme Court in Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989), and the body of U.S. Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit case law. The court specified three primary factors (the Graham Factors) to assist in determining reasonableness. What are they?
- Severity of the crime at issue
- Whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others; and
- Whether the suspect is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.
(MM 17-070, Pg. 1)
743
Can flight of a suspect alone be considered sufficient justification for deployment of the 12 gauge shotgun with kinetic energy munitions or the ECD?
No. While it is relevant, flight alone is not the only factor to be taken into consideration.
In addition to flight, officers shall consider:

- Whether the subject poses an immediate threat to officers or others
- The officer-to-subject factors and environmental factors (lighting, footing,
weather, etc.). (MM 17-070, pg 3)

Miranda Warning: Two officers, responding to the scene of a reported early morning burglary, spotted near the scene a lone male who partially matched the broadcast descriptions of one of the suspects. They stopped him and asked him where he was coming from and his answer was used against him at the trial. Do you need to provide a Miranda Warning and was his answer admissible at trial?
HELD: His answer was admissible, even thought the officers had not advised the suspect of hid Miranda rights, because he was only being detained and was not in “custody.” (Fulcher (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 749)
759
Effect of Unlawful Detention: Officers stopped Durant’s car for failing to signal within 100 feet of a turn, but the stop was not authorized under Vehicle Code Sections 22107 and 22108. One of the officer’s recognized Durant almost immediately as a probationer with a search condition before conducting a pat-down search and finding a loaded handgun in Durant’s waistband. Was this a legal detention?
HELD: The intervening circumstance of Durant’s probation search condition attenuated the taint of the erroneous vehicle stop because the “search condition supplied legal authorization to search that was completely independent of the circumstances leading to the traffic stop. The court noted there was no evidence of any flagrancy or purposefulness to the erroneous traffic stop. (Durant (2012) 205 Cal.App.4 th 57, 66)
760
Searches During Detentions Patdowns/Frisks: A patrol officer stopped a minor for riding a bicycle at night without proper lighting in violation of Vehicle Code section 21201. The minor complied with the officer’s requests to step back from the bicycle and take off his backpack. Without the officer first asking, the minor said that he was not on probation, which the officer thought was odd. Concerned that the minor might have a weapon, he said he would be conducting a patsearch, and the minor said that he did not give his consent to search. The officer considered both statements "warning flags." He found a firearm in the minor’s pocket.
Was the Pat-down search for officer safety justified?
HELD: The patdown search was not justified. A refusal of consent to a search cannot be the sole basis for reasonable suspicion that a suspect is armed or dangerous. (In re H.H. (2009) 174 Cal.App.4th 653.)
761
Consensual Encounter/Detentions: An officer patrolling a parking lot for narcotics traffickers saw Lopez sitting on the hood of a car. The officer asked it it was his car, and Lopez said, “No.” When asked why he was sitting there, Lopez said he was waiting for his friends to play pool. The officer asked where his pool stick was, and Lopez did not reply. The officer asked if Lopez had any identification. Lopez reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and handed it to the officer, who opened it, causing a bindle of cocaine to fall out. Was this a detention or Consensual encounter?
HELD: Because the question was not accusatory and there was no show of
force, the court found no detention. (Lopez (1989) 212 Cal.App.3d 289,293)
762
Searches: An officer arrested a juvenile at 1:00 a.m. for “prowling”; The officer intended to drive the minor home in the patrol car and release him to his parents. The officer handcuffed the minor and searched him, finding cocaine in one of his pockets. Was this a lawful search?
HELD: The search was lawful based on the valid custodial arrest, even though there was no intent to book or incarcerate the minor. (Demetrius A. (1989) 208
Cal.App.3d 1245; Charles C. (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 420, 424-425.) The same
rule applies when a minor is taken into “temporary custody”; for a violation of a curfew ordinance. (Giovanni B. (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 312, 321; Ian C. (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 856, 859-860.)
763
Exigent Circumstances: Police entered a hotel room and checked on the condition of a person whom they saw, through the open door, sitting on a bed with his eyes closed and his head resting on a dresser next to some heroin. Is this considered an exigent circumstance to enter the hotel room?
HELD: Because it was reasonable to think he might have overdosed.

764
Investigative Actions-Identification: a driver who was outside her car after being observed driving without a license said that she might have identification in her car. When the officer looked for ID in her purse, left on the front seat, he found drugs. Was this a lawful search?
HELD: This limited search in her purse for the ID was valid.

765
An officer patrolling a parking lot for narcotics traffickers saw Lopez sitting on the hood of a car. The officer asked if it was his car, and Lopez said, "No." When asked why he was sitting there, Lopez said he was waiting for his friends to play pool. The officer asked where his pool stick was, and Lopez did not reply. The officer asked if Lopez had any identification. Lopez reached into his pocket, took out his wallet, and handed it to the officer, who opened it, causing a bindle of cocaine to fall out. Is this incident classified as a DETENTION or as a CONSENSUAL ENCOUNTER?
Consensual encounter. Because the questioning was not accusatory and there was no show of force, the court found no detention.
766
An Officer was patrolling a high-crime, high-drug area of Vallejo after 11 p.m. when he observed defendant standing next to a parked car. The officer stopped the patrol car about 35 feet away and turned on the patrol car spotlight to illuminate defendant. Defendant appeared to be nervous, and the officer walked "briskly" toward him. Officer could see defendant look shocked and nervous and start walking backwards. Defendant said, "I live right there," and pointed to a nearby house. Officer said, "Okay, I just want to confirm that," and asked defendant if he was on probation or parole. Defendant said he was on parole. Is this incident classified as a DETENTION or as a CONSENSUAL ENCOUNTER?
DETENTION. The combination of the spotlight and the officer "rushing at" defendant and asking about his "legal status" amounted to an unlawful detention.
767
Example: An officer conducted an inventory following a DUI arrest and prior to towing. Behind the front seat, he found a backpack; inside the backpack he observed a nylon bag containing metal canisters; and inside the canisters he discovered cocaine, drug paraphernalia and cash. In an outside zippered pouch of the backpack, the officer found more cash in a sealed envelope. After completing the inventory of the van, the officer had it towed to an impound lot and took the backpack, money and contraband to the police station. Were these actions legal?
All his actions were legal. (Bertine (1987) 479 U.S. 367.)
768
Example: Humboldt CHP received a 9-1-1 call that a silver Ford pickup ran the caller off the road on Highway 1. The caller provided the truck's license number and the location and time of the incident. A Mendocino CHP officer located the truck headed southbound on Highway 1 approximately 18 minutes after the call. It took five minutes for the officer to make a U-turn and stop the truck. The driver was hauling 30 pounds of marijuana in the truck bed. Was this call sufficient to provide reasonable suspicion?
HELD: Even without the officer personally observing indicia of impaired driving, the 9-1-1 call was sufficient to provide reasonable suspicion that the driver had committed a traffic offense in running another car off the road. (Navarette (2014) 572 U.S. 393.)
769
Example: During a limited patdown for weapons, a deputy felt a soft object which he squeezed enough to conclude it was plastic with something in it. He reached into the detainee's pocket and retrieved a baggie with some marijuana and cocaine. Was this seizure lawful?
HELD: The seizure was unlawful. "Feeling a soft object in a suspect's pocket during a pat-down, absent unusual circumstances, does not warrant an officer's intrusion into a suspect's pocket to retrieve the object." (Dickey (1994) 21 Cal.App.4th 952, 957, quoting a 1970 California Supreme Court case.)
770
Example: Officers observed the defendant walking through a shopping center at 1:20 a.m. when all the stores were closed. They shined a spotlight on him and got out of their car, and one of the officers said, "Come over here. I want to talk to you." Was this a justified detention?
HELD: There was a detention because of this "command" and the other circumstances that would make the suspect believe he was not free to leave. Furthermore, the detention was unjustified. Without some indication of criminal activity, just walking through a closed shopping center in the early morning hours does not constitute reasonable suspicion. (Roth (1990) 219 Cal.App.3d 211, 215.) CPOLS
771
Example: Officer made traffic stop for speeding, then saw marijuana on rear seat. While retrieving that, he smelled a further strong odor of unburned marijuana coming from rear portion of vehicle. Does he have probable cause to search the passenger compartment?
Under existing law at the time, he had probable cause to search the passenger compartment and the trunk. (Podesto (1976) 62 Cal.App.3d 708; Waxler (2014) 224 Cal.App.4th 712, 721 [smell of burnt marijuana and observation of marijuana pipe next to driver provided probable cause to search truck]; Ingle (1982) 129 Cal.App.3d 188; Guidi (1973) 10 Cal.3d 1.)
