According to the new active shooter PPR, what is the patrol units' primary responsibility?

The primary responsibility of the patrol unit, according to the new active shooter PPR (Post-Post Response), is indeed to act as the contact team and response/rescue team. This is crucial because in the event of an active shooter scenario, the patrol units are often the first on scene and must swiftly locate, contain, and neutralize the threat. They are also tasked with identifying and assisting any victims, rendering necessary aid, and coordinating with other responding entities.

In an active shooter context, immediate engagement is essential to mitigate harm and prevent further casualties. Thus, the patrol units play a critical role in addressing the situation at hand and ensuring public safety as swiftly as possible. Their effectiveness in this primary responsibility can greatly influence the outcomes of such high-stakes incidents.

The other roles mentioned, while important, are secondary to the direct engagement responsibilities that the patrol units must undertake in these critical situations.
