During a raid, what are the responsibilities of nonentry team members?
• Nonentry team members should determine the level of contamination and establish a perimeter. This includes determining whether an evacuation of the area is necessary. A department should have sufficient personnel and resources available to assist with the worst-case scenario, which may include a mandatory evacuation of the area. A department should be prepared to ask county or state law enforcement agencies for assistance. Members should also be responsible for decontaminating all suspects at the scene. This will contain the contaminated area, keeping chemicals and odors from spreading in transport vehicles.
