CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
As a patrol officer, you are not expected to diagnose the individual, nor are you expected to
distinguish between the many variations of psychoses and neuroses. Your principal concern is your own
safety and that the individual, and to make an effort to see that the person receives appropriate
professional attention. (Soriano, 2003)
Proper coordination with all participating elements shall be done to consolidate efforts in solving
crisis. In negotiating for the release of a hostage, the safety of the hostage shall always be paramount.
(PNPM, 2013)
The first responder roles can include initial firefighting and hazard containment, triage and first
aid, evacuation and containment and even quasi-law enforcement functions. You as the first responder
plugs into potentially ongoing actions being performed by internal personnel depends largely on the
scope of the crisis and what functions are automatically transferred upon your arrival.(Sgt Jon, 2009)
Although each and every hostage situation is a separate and totally unique entity upon itself, there
is a certain generic series of events that takes place. The reason for formulating a barricade matrix
is to enable police officers responsible for the planning and response to such incidents to have a
starting point from which to begin their resolution of the problem. The matrix has been designed
around the first thirty minutes of a terrorists attack. (Soriano, 2003)

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
The First Responders Role
As first responder, your principal concern is for your own safety
and then that of the individual, and making an effort to see that the
person receives appropriate professional attention. The patrol officers
are likely to encounter the mentally or emotionally disturbed
individual under almost any type of circumstances. Many people are
emotionally upset for the moment because of the nature of the
situation, such as an intense family fight or repossession
confrontation, but they return to a state of relative normality fairly
and quickly.

4.
Make use of friends or relatives who know how to talk to, and deal with the
subject, unless there is friction between them. The subject might have more
trust and confidence in you if you appear to be getting along with friends or
relatives.
6.
Whenever possible, try to stall until you have a follow-up officer on the
scene. This type of situation might be more volatile than a routine arrest.
7.
If the situation warrants it, and you take the subject into custody, do so
carefully. Avoid painful grips, and if possible, keep your gun and other
weapons out of the subjects reach.
8.
As a first responder you must carried with you a radio to communicate any situation
arising from the scene. Communication is the heart of the operation during the early stage.
2.
Verify complaint
Make sure to verify that the situation calls for police response and not just a frank calls
from person with psychological behavior.
3.
Knowing the perpetrators location and weapons used, the patrol force will know what
kind of approach and tactics will be used for a chance of successful operation.
4.
Communicate findings
Observe the situation, any danger zones or findings that would be useful for the operation
and inform other communicating personnel concerned in the command.
The immediate area of containment as designated by the on scene supervisor. This area is
initially controlled by first responding officers until relieved by tactical response officers. Other
persons will be evacuated from this area to prevent injury or interference with the operation. Only
personnel authorized by the supervisor in charge should be allowed entry to this area.
6.
7.
Advise responding units of the safe route to enter and exit in the area and any helpful
information regarding the suspect and location; this will direct responding force to positions that
will minimize the movement of the suspect and prevent escape.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
SUMMARY
This report paper is entitled The First Responder and the Barricade Matrix sought to answer
the following questions; what are the first responders role; what are the guidelines used by the first
responders; what is the Barricade Matrix; what are the activities involved in Barricade Matrix; and how
does it helps in Crisis Management Situation.
As first responder, ones principal concern is their own safety and then that of the individual,
and making an effort to see that the person receives appropriate professional attention.
First responders should be guided by specific guidelines. They must learn their roles and
responsibilities by heart to be able to effectively deliver quality police service in any given situation.
On the other hand, barricade matrix serves as a starting point for the resolution of the
problem. This will help to enable the police officers responsible for planning on how to response in every
hostage situation.
Without these guidelines and standard procedures, it will be harder for the person in authority
to deal with crisis management situations systematically and successfully.
CONCLUSIONS
In every crisis situations, may it be a hostage situation or terrorist
attack, the first responders has a significant role to play into. Their
observations and analysis in the state of the situation, will be the basis of
the Crisis Management Team to execute acts for the success of the
operation. Being the First Responder in the scene might be one of the most
dangerous designation, for it needs dedication and bravery to be able to
secure the area for the welfare of everyone, not just for the victims and
by standers, but also for his team and for himself.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Police officers without proper training shall not be allowed to participate in hostage
negotiations.
1.
No hostage situations are alike, thats why persons in authority should be making
alternative plans in case that one of it didnt work out.
2.
As a First Responder, one should know how to perform his designated task without
being affected by the situation emotionally.
3.
As a first responder there are a variety of roles you may be called upon to perform
when responding to various crisis incidents, while relying on departmental policy and
guidance, one must also seek to enhance his awareness and sensitivity in crisis
response and planning through proper trainings and other specializations.
4.
Always think worst scenarios that a hostage taker and terrorist might do. Dont
underestimate their capabilities.
