standoff tactics

Standoff tactics refer to strategies used by law enforcement, military, or security personnel to manage a tense situation from a safe distance, often with negotiations or specialized equipment. The goal is to control the situation and protect people without direct confrontation. This might involve establishing a perimeter, communicating with suspects to encourage surrender, or using tools like barricades, cameras, or remote devices. These tactics minimize risk to both the responders and the public, allowing time to resolve the incident peacefully or prepare for further action if necessary.
