This report presents the proceedings of the second of a series of pilot workshops focusing on police policies and procedures for managing riot control and other crises in major cities in the United States.
Abstract
The workshop used three hypothetical scenarios as the basis for discussions and proposed decisions regarding emergency procedures. In one scenario, a sudden electrical power blackout occurred in the evening of a hot summer day and was followed by looting. In the second scenario, a small group of self-proclaimed Nazis requested a permit to hold rallies and a march, and other groups called for a counter-demonstration. The third scenario involved a strike by municipal employees including civilian employees of police and fire agencies. Background materials, schedules, charts, and workshop reports
