Crowd Control Tactics
Crowd control tactics are strategies used to manage large groups of people, ensuring safety and order during events or emergencies. These tactics can include physical barriers, such as fences or barricades, and the deployment of personnel trained in crowd management. The goal is to prevent overcrowding and minimize the risk of accidents or violence.
Law enforcement agencies often employ crowd control tactics during protests, concerts, or sporting events. Techniques may involve clear communication, designated pathways, and the use of non-lethal equipment, such as tear gas or rubber bullets, to disperse unruly crowds while maintaining public safety.
