What should be accomplished in a preraid briefing?
• A preraid briefing serves as an educational tool to all personnel involved in the raid. For safety reasons, anyone not in attendance during the briefing should not participate in the raid. During the briefing, a raid package should be distributed to all personnel. The package should be explained in detail, including the purpose of the raid and details involving the location(s) to be searched. Personnel assignments should be made at this time determining each member’s objectives in detail. Lab-trained personnel should give a safety precaution briefing to raid team members. Contingency plans should be discussed, including an emergency exit signal. The supervisor conducting the briefing should encourage questions from team members to be sure all personnel have complete knowledge of all aspects of the raid.
