During an active shooter scenario, which team's objective changes?

In an active shooter scenario, the objective of the BRF, or the Breaching Response Force, shifts significantly. The BRF is typically focused on breaching the location and neutralizing the threat as quickly as possible. This is due to the immediate and life-threatening nature of an active shooter situation, where time is a critical factor in saving lives.

The BRF must adapt to the urgency of the situation, moving from standard operating procedures to a more aggressive posture aimed at confronting and stopping the shooter. This reflects a change in their objectives, from being purely tactical and cautious to prioritizing rapid engagement and resolution of the threat.

In contrast, the objectives of other teams, like the SRF (Site Response Force) and the RF (Response Force), may not change in the same way, as they typically focus on containment, situational awareness, and managing the aftermath of the incident. Therefore, the specific dynamics of an active shooter scenario necessitate a decisive shift in the approach and priorities of the BRF team.
