An attack could take place at any time without warning with the company and its employees affected – from the disruption caused by the use of its premises or vehicle and in the worst case, staff caught directly in the midst of a violent attack. The 'stay safe' principles detailed below give some simple actions to consider at an incident and the information that Armed Officers may need in the event of a weapons or firearm attack: RUN Escape if you can Consider the safest options Is there a safe route? Run if not hide Can you get there without exposing yourself to greater Danger? Insist others leave with you Leave belongings behind HIDE If you cannot run, hide Find cover from gunfire If you can see the attacker, they may be able to see you. Cover from view does not mean you are safe, bullets go Through glass, brick, wood and metal Find cover from gunfire e.g. Substantial brickwork/heavy Reinforced walls Be aware of your exits Try not to get trapped Be quiet, silence your phone Lock/barricade yourself in Move away from the door TELL Call 999 – What do the police need to know?
