1. HOSTAGE SITUATION &
BARRICADED SITUATIONS

2. Hostage Situation
● A hostage situation refers
to the unlawful abduction
or restraint of one or more
individuals with intent to
restrict their freedom.
● This is termed as crisis by
the law enforcement
officers and behavioral
professionals.

3. Priorities
In dealing with hostage
situations, the priorities
are to
1) preserve lives,
2) apprehend the captors,

4. STAGES OF A HOSTAGE SITUATION
● 1. Alarm Stage - This stage is the most traumatic and
dangerous. In the alarm stage, the emotion of the
hostage taker is exceedingly in its highest peak.

5. ● 2. Crisis Stage - In this stage, when negotiation attempts are
being initiated by the crisis negotiator.
-At this stage hostages may start to feel three (3) problems:
1) Isolation, 2) Claustrophobia, and 3) Sense of time.
The hostage taker may inconsistently enforce numerous demands
and petty rules and this may result to unsuccessful negotiation. In
addition, the perpetrator seeks to destroy the victim’s sense of
autonomy by depriving him of his basic needs.

6. 3. Accommodation Stage - This is distinguished by
boredom, and with moments of terror. Though is
considered as the longest yet is the most tranquil.
Stockholm’s syndrome will likely to occur between the
captors and the victims

7. 4. Resolution Stage - This is the stage when the hostage
taker is being stressed out or fatigued of the situation.
Losing interest of the situation and lost most of his
bargaining points.
Tension between the hostages, hostage taker and the
crisis negotiator is notably low

8. Procedure to be followed in a Hostage Situation The following steps
shall be undertaken:
1) Crisis Management Task Group shall be activated immediately;
2) Incident scene shall be secured and isolated;
3) Unauthorized persons shall not be allowed entry and exit to the incident
scene; and
4) Witnesses’ names, addresses, and other information shall be recorded.
Witnesses shall be directed to a safe location.
5) Evacuate all victims/injured persons immediately when the opportunity
permits;
6)The arrest of the perpetrator shall be the last paramount concern
7) Conduct debriefing immediately after the conclusion of the incident.

9. ● Negotiators/ Negotiation Team - Negotiators
shall be designated by the Ground
Commander .No one shall be allowed to talk to
the hostage taker without clearance from the
negotiator or Ground Commander. The
Negotiation Team is directly under control and
supervision of the On-Scene Commander.

10. Negotiation Team
● Generally, the Negotiation Team consists
of five (5) negotiators, all trained in the
art of crisis negotiation. Each team
member plays a vital role in the
successful resolution of critical incidents

11. ● Except in cases where negotiators are not physically
available or the situation demands for the immediate
commencement of negotiation, the Negotiation Team
structure will be as follows:
● a. Negotiation Team Leader (NTL)/Coordinator;
● b. Primary Negotiator;
● c. Secondary Negotiator;
● d. Intelligence Liaison/Recorder;
● e. Board Negotiator.

12. 1. The Primary Negotiator actually communicates with the
subject.
2. The Secondary (or backup) Negotiator assists the primary
negotiator by offering advice, monitoring the negotiations,
keeping notes, and ensuring that the Primary Negotiator sees
and hears everything in the proper perspective.
3. The Intelligence Liaison/Recorder - interviews individuals
associated with the suspect to compile a criminal history and
a history of mental illness, as well as to gather other relevant
information. He is also in charge of the recordings of all
conversations.

13. 4. Most senior member of the team will act as the
Negotiation Team Leader, whose primary responsibility
is to act as a buffer between command personnel and the
Negotiation Team.
When the Incident/ OnScene Commander wants to offer
advice to the Negotiation Team, this should be routed to the
Negotiations Team via the Negotiation Team Leader
5. Board Negotiator is the “board person” who maintains a
visual display of all information relevant to the
negotiations, i.e. deadlines, demands and details of
persons known to be in the stronghold;

14. ● Assault Team
● An assault team shall be alerted for
deployment in case the
negotiation fails. Members of the
assault team shall wear authorized
and easily recognizable uniform
during the conduct of the
operation.

15. Support Personnel
● An ambulance with medical
crew and a fire truck shall
be detailed at the incident
area.

16. ● Guidelines during Negotiations
● 1. Situation must be stabilized first and contained before
the start of the negotiation.
● 2. All relevant tools and information that can strengthen a
successful negotiator's position and create a favorable
climate successful negotiation must be prepared e.g. facts
relevant to the situation, financial and non-financial
terms, issues and concerns, etc.
● 3. Do not introduce outsiders (non-law enforcement
officers) into the negotiation process, unless their presence
is extremely necessary in the solution of the crisis. If so
introduced, they shall be properly advised on the do's and
don'ts of hostage negotiations.

17. ● 4. In case the negotiator breaks down or he/she finds
himself/ herself in a deadlock, it is recommended to employ
the service of a mediator.
● 5. Police officers without proper training shall not be allowed
to participate in hostage negotiations.
● 6. Whatever the scale of an incident and the extent of
resources deployed, it is essential that proper liaison exist
between Tactical/Assault Team, Technical Support Team
and the Negotiation Team.
● 7. All activities on the scene, even the delivery of food to the
stronghold, must have tactical coordination with the NTL/
Coordinator

18. Safety of Hostage
● Safety of Hostage(s)
● In negotiating for the release of a
hostage, the safety of the hostage
shall always be paramount.

19. Barricade situation
● Barricade situation - An incident where
a person maintains a position of cover or
concealment and ignores or resists law
enforcement personnel, and it is
reasonable to believe the subject is
armed with a dangerous or deadly
weapon.

20. Barricaded Criminals
● This type might be robbers cornered by the
police while in the act of committing their
crime (i.e bank robbers). Either barricaded in
a building, road block or on getaway cars.
Hostages are may be employees, bystanders or
both caught in the process of escaping
