Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the first officer reaches the scene of a robbery in progress, his or her primary focus should be on evaluating the situation and ensuring the safety of any potential victims, bystanders, and him/herself. The officer should not attempt to apprehend the suspect(s) alone unless absolutely necessary or if there is an imminent threat to life. It is safer to wait for backup and a coordinated plan to approach and apprehend the suspect(s).
