What should officers do when they are responding to a burglary call?
What will be an ideal response?
Officers should proceed to a burglary scene quietly. They should be observant and cautious at the scene. The first two officers arriving place themselves at diagonally opposed corners of the building. This places each out of the other's line of fire but in position to protect each other. Officers should search the premises inside and outside for the burglar, using maximum cover and caution in going around corners. In a dark room, they should use a flashlight rather than room lights to prevent silhouettes, holding the flashlight in front of the body at a 45-degree angle. Guns should be drawn but not cocked. And finally, officers should be alert for the possible presence of explosives at a burglary scene.
