When law enforcement arrives, people at your site need to know what to expect and how to act to remain safe. The first officers to arrive will focus on stopping the assailant(s) as quickly as possible and will not stop to help injured persons. People at the site should remain calm, and follow officer instructions:

• Put items down.
• Raise their hands and spread their fingers.
• Keep hands visible at all times.
• Avoid making quick movements toward officers.
• Avoid pointing, screaming, or yelling.
