No city wants to experience a riot, but all law enforcement agencies must have a preparedness strategy in place should one occur.
It doesn’t matter what triggers the event, whether it’s an officer-involved shooting, a presidential election, or the outcome of a sporting event; law enforcement’s ability to respond and restore order will have the greatest impact on community and officer safety.

Agencies that did not prepare in advance found their officers ill-prepared. Part of this preparation involves purchasing the necessary equipment.
