It seems the CCW class covers justifiable use of deadly force and the notification of peace officer during a traffic stop or other investigation, but I don't recall being instructed on what to do after an incident where we found it necessary to use deadly force against another person.
Logically, I know to call 911 and report the incident immediately. I would like to know from our LE friends what they would like to see when they roll up on the scene.
I am pretty sure I would have given the dispatcher my description so you know who I am when you arrive. Will the dispatcher give me instructions on securing the scene until you do?
Should I secure the BG's weapon? If it is a gun, do I clear it or just take possession of it? Should I be concerned with fingerprints? Should I reholster my firearm? If the BG is still living, does trying to administer aid represent guilt? How should I react with onlookers to keep the scene from turning into chaos? Any other information to keep in mind will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all you do, the risks you take and the sacrifices you make.
