Whether it's an traffic stop to active shooters, you have to maintain vigilant and observant before doing the act and call backup whenever you need. When encountering a life-threatening situation, you need to put yourself in a safe position, observe and gather the info on the situation and plan your approach. Do not push through and make yourself vulnerable if you don't know what you are dealing with, a quick thinking and perfect execution is critical in this situation.

After the situation de-escalated or you need to keep the area out from the unwanted person entering the area, you need to setup perimeter around the crime scene to prevent civilian entering the area and compromising the evidence and condition of the crime scene. This can be applied by tighten the road with barricade and cruiser or block the road completely if needed, in barricaded situation you need to setup perimeter at least 10-20 meter from the area of current active situation and a sufficient length gap on the entrance of the perimeter. situation perimeter required personnel within the area to maintain the perimeter and civilians approaching the area.

Perimeter Officer usually are being asked what happened in the area, simply tell them that there's something dangerous happening (someone getting hurt, a person getting shot, or tell them basis-information only to prevent a panic over the area) and tell them not to get close over the area. You can tell them to stand back and make more distance if necessary.

↑ Level 5 — Use of Deadly Force
In case of emergency & life-threatening situation, you may shot any suspects with/without command given from higher ranks (if really necessary), do not random shot / open fire without any confirmation of the situation / permission.
↑ Level 4 — Use of Less-Lethal Weapons
For an example of a riot which is not conducive or out of control where all the crowd use any of melee weapon to hurt each other/public officials.
↑ Level 3 — Confrontation
Confrontations usually can be ended with a group of officers swarming the suspect and bringing him to the ground with or without a weapons (do not open fire).
↑ Level 2 — Verbalization
When physical presence is not enough to ensure cooperation, officers were taught to issue verbal commands to suspects. In this case all officers may issue any of punishment once they didn't comply the procedures / orders given.
↑ Level 1 — Officer Presence
A presence of a Police Officer is just enough to convince suspects to cooperate. The physical presence may become overwhelming. Calming each of person, gathering all the information/complaints from each person involved.
