SECURITY
OF POLITICAL RALLY SITE
SITUATION:
Your platoon is responsible for the security of a local political rally site. The candidate has his own security, but the platoon is responsible for securing the site.
EVENT(S):
1. An anticandidate group forms at the entrance and attempts to deny access to the site by rally members.
2. The platoon is responsible for vehicle and media control. Weapons and contraband are discovered in a vehicle of the candidate's immediate family.
3. The jubilant crowd pushes down gate attempting to see the candidate.
4. During the rally, the brigade CP receives a bomb threat for the rally site.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
EVENT(S):
1. Report the demonstration, allow for the Haitian police to confront and detain the protesters if necessary. The employment of a linguist and speaker team to warn the protesters that they are violating the law should help. Be prepared to use the graduated response techniques for crowd control. Necessary and proportional force is authorized to control disturbances and disperse crowds threatening essential civic order.
2. Detain and secure the vehicle occupants, move to a secure area and report.
