In a particularly tense political season, it is helpful to review options for responding to a protest. A few simple steps will keep personnel prepared in the event they come upon a protest or similar activity. Keep the following in mind as you plan and consider your organizational planning and posture:

• Be aware of the political situation
• Carry ID or a copy of your ID
• Know and avoid common protest sites
• Weekends, particularly Saturday, are a common time for protests
• Do not attempt to drive or walk through a gathered crowd
• Be aware of increased police presence
• Calmly move away from flashpoints where protestors and police may meet
