The FAU Police Department has adopted nationally accredited law enforcement response procedures to contain and terminate such threats as quickly as possible. The first officers to arrive on scene will not stop to help injured persons. Expect rescue teams comprised of additional law enforcement and emergency medical personnel to follow the initial officers. These rescue teams will treat and remove the wounded.
