Mail Online 22/2/2024 News ‘When you own the time, it’s seamless, but when you don’t, it’s horrific’: critical, public order and major incident decision-making in policing On 24 May 2022, a gunman entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and fatally shot 19 victims. During the incident, local police were present at the site but did not enter the building to confront the gunman. It was subsequently reported that an Incident Commander mischaracterised the situation as a ‘barricaded subject’ rather than as an ‘active shooter’, and officers were ordered to stay out of the scene and to keep student families and bystanders from entering the building.

What are the sources of stress involved in IC decision-making and work?
