CHAPTER

RAID OPERATIONS

Raid operations represent a common aspect of law enforcement, and depending on the targeted
criminal activity, pose varying degrees of danger and complexity. Raid operations components
include training, planning, preparation, intelligence, coordination, execution, and safety. In
covering each of these components, the individual law enforcement officer, and the members
of the raiding party's equipment, firearms training, close quarter battle, tactical training, raid
tactics, breaching or forced entry, first aid and medical emergencies, law enforcement officer's
safety and security, and intelligence collection must be given preferential considerations.

There is also a need to review the planning, execution, and law enforcement officer's
performance. Moreover, briefing is of utmost important consideration. It should set the style
and tone for a raid operations and it must provide the information needed to employ and deploy
human and material resources to ensure the accomplishment of the mission and objectives of
this particular law enforcement operations. The raid operations must take into consideration the
protection of lives of innocent bystanders that might be caught by crossfires during an
unavoidable shoot-out with criminals and lawless elements, and preventing collateral damages
to properties.

What are Raid Operations?

Raid operations are surprise invasions of a place, building, or premises made by the law
enforcement officer, and are often observed in the early morning, with the aim of using the
element of surprise to arrest Suspects believed to be likely to hide evidence, resist arrest, be
politically sensitive, or simply be elsewhere during the day. When law enforcement agencies
go for search and seizure of the house or building or premises in connection with the
investigation of a case with the purpose to recover evidence, or arrest the suspect relatively
with investigation of case and search places, it is called "raid operations" by law enforcement
agencies,

Challenges in Raid Operations

Taking into consideration the functions of law enforcement agencies such as the
implementation of warrant of arrest, service of search warrant, or raid operations; all holds
significant values to law enforcement operations. Consequently, the community needs to be
assured that the members of the raiding party are thoroughly prepared to meet these challenges
with a high degree of certainty and confidence. In order to accomplish this goal, the raiding
party must be exposed to an abundance of principles and disciplines, including tactical
problems during their rehearsals or dry runs.
Moreover, one of the most common training tools for rehearsing raids operations involves the
use of a "live fire shoot house, an environment that many members of the raiding teams
dedicate the majority of their training. There is no better method than "live fire shoot house"
training to ensure that the members of the raiding party understand and respect the importance
of fields of fire, target identification, and accuracy. Hence, it is imperative for raid operations
training to incorporate both "live fire shoot house" training and scenario based training, and
utilizing available non-lethal munitions.

No matter what type is the law enforcement agency of a law enforcement officer, most raid
operations can be broken down into the following stages: approach, knock and announce,
breach, entry to secure the structure or room clearing, and back flush, or double check the
structure to ensure no subjects have been missed. Raid operations are one of the most common
operations for law enforcement agencies. Therefore, it is important to continually challenge the
members of the raiding party's capabilities while reinforcing the basic principles of room
clearing and marksmanship.

Principles in Raid Operations

The following is a general overview and breakdown of the principles that should be addressed
and reviewed during the preparations, and it is designed to assist the planning in the conduct of
raid operations:

1. Roles of law enforcement officer. With regard to the roles of law enforcement officer, this
individual can make or break the techniques, tactics, and strategies during a run through or a
dry run undertaken relatively with the training scenarios. Depending on the situation, the law
enforcement agencies may want someone with extensive tactical training, such as the members
of the raiding party, performing the role assigned to him or her. If the law enforcement officer
knows how the members of the raiding party move through a structure and what tactics they
will utilize, specifically in regard to room clearing, they may maturely react to this knowledge.

2. Approach to a building or structure. During the approach to a building, the frequently

encountered issues during raid operations are as follows: (a) how far from the structure will the
raiding party be approaching; (b) will the raiding party be dismounting or disembarking from
motor vehicles directly in front of the target location; (c) is there a possibility that the assault
team will encounter an occupied motor vehicles or subjects on the curtilage; (d) will any
occupied motor vehicles need to be blocked to avoid any of the members of the raiding party
run over by subjects attempting to flee; and (e) what if raiding party is fired upon; is gun fire
directed to them during the approach.

3. Knock and announce. This is another stage of raid operations that is commonly overlooked.
Depending on the area of the neighborhood, the amount of time required to allow occupants to
respond to the commands may vary. Some other law enforcement agencies allow for "no
knock" entries; thus, making this a non-issue. Conversely, other law enforcement agencies
forbid this tactic outside of exigent circumstances. Depending breach could be significantly
diminished. An important factor to on consider is the phrase whether law enforcement agency
with a search the provided circumstances, the time required prior to the warrant as opposed to
without warrant.

4. Breaching of door for entry. It may sound a bit silly, but why try to ram a door when it may
already be unlocked? How many times was it heard of a door cracker hitting, and usually a
member of the raiding party's hand with a battering ram while the door is being checked to
determine if it is unlocked. Hence, what would be the raiding party's response if they are shot
prior to the actual breach? Obviously if the armed suspect is observed, and is still a deadly
threat, the raiding party should engage the subject, but if bullets are fired blindly though the
entry door, or from an unknown location within the structure, the initial mission is to surround
and callout the suspects.

5. Entry on building or structure. Another question to ask is how often does the raiding party
engage with the subjects with deadly force during raid operations? While this situation does
occur, most subjects during these types of operations either comply with verbal commands or
respond to active counter measures. Having access to protective gear, is an important aspect of
entry on building or structure. This allows the raiding party to physically engage through
reasonable force, in order to subdue subjects. The use of password, and upon hearing it, the
raiding party automatically knows that there is some type of danger and to withdraw from the
building or structure as quickly as possible.

6. Back-flush the raid operations. This is also a tactic usually overlooked in raiding a building
or structure, and this means to engage and disengage, in raid operations. Typically, an average
building or structure has minimal furnishing, no closets full of clothing, and no attics or crawl
spaces. If the building or structure is equipped with cabinets, closets, or attic spaces that can be
used as a secret hiding place of the suspect, consider utilizing this tactic. It should only take
one incident where the raiding party misses the subject to engrain the importance of a thorough
and complete secondary search prior to turning over the building or structure to investigator on
the scene.

7. Evaluating the raid operations. One of the most important factors of successful raid
operations involves the proper and thorough evaluation of the performance of each of the
members of the raiding party. Obviously, the team leader plays an important role with regard
to the overall performance, however, the members of the raiding party can provide much more
accurate insight during the debriefing regarding the raiding party's performance and tactics.
During evaluation of raid operations, the raiding party should review and critique the
performance of each member. This evaluation should also identify any areas that may need
improvement in future raid operations.
Elements of Raid Operations

The six essential elements of raid operations are as follows:

1. Planning. An operational plan should be developed and implemented prior to conducting

raid operations in which the potential for a violent confrontation is likely or may be reasonably
anticipated. The plan should contain a strategy for at least of the following aspects of the raid
operations: (a) equipment needed; (b) communication procedures; (c) needs for transportation;
(d) identification of suspects, including their motor vehicles; (e) designation of areas of
responsibilities; (f) contingency plan for operational support units; (g) member who are fluent
in various languages; and (h) passwords, countersigns, and clothes.

2. Preparation. Preparation is one of the essential elements of raid operations whereby the law
enforcement officer actually involved in the said undertakings are prepared for a final product,
or for a successful experience relatively with raiding a house, premises, or establishments
occupied by suspects, or where illegal activities are being conducted by lawless or criminal
elements. It is a proceeding or readiness for a future event as a goal and an acceptable
accomplished final outcome of raid operations. The concept of "preparation" has relationship
with "planning;" the two concepts are separated but closely intertwined with one another. a
significant

3. Intelligence. Due to the complexity of raid operations, law enforcement agencies often need
to respond to multiple threats. Hence, the law enforcement executive must understand how
current and potential the threat systems, along with the system of friendly forces, organize,
equip, and employ and deploy the services of law enforcement officer that is provided with the
essential elements of information related to raid operations. The EEIS must contain the
following: (a) tactical procedures; (b) threat to lives and limbs; (c) identity, number, locations,
and capabilities of suspects; (d) raiding party's rallying point; and (d) post-raid operations
actions.

4. Coordination. In most raid operations, the team leader of the raiding party generally makes
the coordination with other law enforcement agency operating within the area where raid
operations shall be staged. Therefore, raid operations plan should consider employing and
positioning coordination measures to preclude any uncoordinated activities which might alert
the criminal or lawless elements on the presence of the raiding party or cause them to leave the
place subject of the raid operations. Coordination can be made by strictly following the
established rules of engagement or law enforcement operational procedures.

5. Execution. This is the meat of the raid operations. This is the specific element of raid
operations that implement the general plan of action in terms of specific objectives and duties
assigned to individual law enforcement officer. It is also the process of ensuring that the
coordinating instruction in terms of time schedule, order of movement, route of movement,
areas to be isolated, rendezvous locations, danger areas, including post-briefing, have been
made possible by the team leader of the raiding party. Moreover, in the execution of raid
operations it is a must that the following are taken into consideration, namely. concept of
implementation, task, functions, and coordinating instructions.

6. Safety. Safety of all the members of the raiding party is not only critical but is paramount
during the conduct of actual raid operations. This is due to the fact that law enforcement officer
encounters many dangerous and stressful situations during raid operations such as armed
resistance by the criminals and lawless elements that may result to shoot-out, placing their
lives and limbs in jeopardy. To ensure safety, briefing must be made possible by the team
leader, giving emphasis on the areas of danger, and possibility of armed resistance to be made
by the suspects. This also involves ensuring safety of bystanders, and preventing collateral
damages.

Four "S" in Raid Operations

Here are the four "S" in raid operations:

1. Simplicity. The more complicated the plan, the greater the potential for failure. Since the
raiding party is susceptible to the friction of opposition by the criminals or lawless elements,
the team leader of the raiding party must strive to keep his or her plan as simple as possible,
detailed, and clearly understood by the participating law enforcement officer. Detailed plans
should not be confused with complicated plans. As the tasks planned to accomplish and each
critical event becomes more complicated, the risk of failure increases on each successive
component of the task. Hence, simplicity is the key to successful raid operations.

2. Surprise. Surprise is a force multiplier essential to raid operations, and is achieved by many
means. Surprise can be achieved through deception. Successful deception will create ambiguity
in the suspects' perception of the situation or cause them to misdirect their main effort. The
deception plan, story, and events orchestrated by the raiding party will depend on available
resources, time, and the enemy's capability to collect the desired information. Usually,
deception operations in support of the raiding party will be developed after coordination is
made by the team leader of the raiding party.

3. Strength. Strength through the size, composition, and task organization of the raiding party
are important because they directly influence many other factors such as speed, surprise, and
resources. Task organization of raiding party is ordinarily associated with combining units to
accomplish the mission. Small forces are equally concerned with the composition of the
raiding party, the combining of individual law enforcement officer's skills necessary to
accomplish the mission. However, quality over quantity, and the capability of the raiding party
are the keys to determine force size.

4. Superiority. Superiority in armaments, communication, and other law enforcement officer's

individual equipment during raid operations is of utmost considerations during planning and
preparations. Specifically, raid operations require the superiority that involves the whole range
of weapons, firearm, and equipment. The concept is generally taught as one of the three key
principles of contemporary law enforcement operations wherein the criminal and lawless
elements can be subdued, or have their will to resist negated by sufficient and preferably
overwhelming use of law enforcement lethal force in the conduct of raid operations.

Restrictions in Raid Operations

The law enforcement officer should conduct raid operations in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 1, 2, & 3, Article III of the 1987 Constitution, or the provisions of Rule 126 of the
Revised Rules on Criminal Procedures, save in exceptional circumstances of warrantless
search. However, before the raid operations, the raiding party should hand to the owner or
occupant of the premises a "Notice of Powers and Rights," or to leave it on the premises, if the
owner or occupant is not present during the raid operations.

In the "Notice of Powers and Rights," the members of the raiding party must explain why they
want to search or seize the place or property, or to control the place, or the purpose and
objectives of conducting the raid operations, this includes the rights of the owner or occupant,
and whether the raid operations are made with a search warrant or not. Then, the members of
the raiding party must identify themselves, and if not in uniform must show their IDs and
badges.

The situation in which the raiding party can enter or raid a given place or premises without the
benefit of the search warrant include the following: a serious or dangerous incident has taken
place; when they want to deal with a breach of the peace; preventing a breach from happening;
when someone is arrested; to save life or limb; prevent serious damage to property; arrest or
neutralize criminals and lawless elements; and confiscate contrabands or dangerous drugs.

However, the following rights of the owner or occupant of the place or premises subjected to
raid operations have to be observed, that is, the right not to say anything; the right to counsel;
the right to be near with the property while the search and seizure is conducted; and the right to
have a friend or relative present during the search and seizure, or raid operations. Relatively,
the members of the raiding party must have reasonable grounds to believe that the person they
are looking for is on or place subjected to raid operations, and this can be made possible
through diligent surveillance or casing of the place.

Moreover, the raiding party can search any premises occupied by who is under arrest for
certain serious offenses. They can only search for evidence relating to the offense for which
the suspect has been someone arrested or to some other offense which is connected with or
similar to the offense and they must have reasonable grounds to believe that there is evidence
in the said place or premises. However, certain provisions of the Constitution and statutes are
required to strictly observe whenever the law enforcement officer engage in raid operations
with or without search warrant or warrant of arrest.

The members of the raiding party can only search and seize property if they have reasonable
grounds to believe that it has been obtained illegally or that it is evidence in relation to an
offense. An itemized list of items searched and seized must be provided to the owner of the
premises. The raiding party, if they have not allowed entry can breach or force entry, if
equipped with search warrant, if the owner is absent or the premises is unoccupied, and have
reasonable grounds to believe that if they do not force an entry, it would hinder the search and
seizure, or someone would be placed in danger.

Finally, in case of high risk raid operations, the members of the raiding party are not only
allowed by the operational procedure or rules of engagement, and even the rules of law to use
reasonable force to subdue the dangers, threats, and risk possessed by the criminals and lawless
elements, to defend themselves and the innocent people, and preventing collateral damages,
and to the extent of neutralizing the occupant or owner of the place or premises subjected to
raid operations by any law enforcement agencies.

Doctrines of Raid Operations

It is a must for every member of the law enforcement agencies to know the technique of
conducting raid operations. Raids operations are usually made after careful investigation and
when other methods of accomplishing the mission and objectives are not suitable. Whenever
available, law enforcement officer experienced in conducting raids operations should be
chosen as team leader of the raiding party. The raid operations are a surprise invasion of a
building, area, premises, or installations. Hence, the conduct of raid operations must be legal,
having its basis in lawful process and conducted in a legal manner.

This will be in the form of a search warrant or warrant of arrest. The raid may be in pursuit of a
person reasonably believed to be guilty of crime or offense and when it is known that the crime
or offense has just been committed. The purpose of raid operations is usually to: (1) effect
apprehension; (2) obtain evidence of illegal activity by surprising the offenders in "flagrante
delicto;" or (3) recover stolen property. Relatively with this, coordination with the head of the
local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the area which is the subject of the raid
operations is imperative.

Hence, immediately before the service of a search warrant or warrant of arrest, the team leader
of the raiding party should see to it that proper coordination is made with the head of the local
police unit having jurisdiction over the target premises. The coordinating party will inform the
concerned head of the local police unit that his or her team is conducting raid operations in the
area. This gesture of coordination is not only a manifestation of courtesy but also a safety
measure to avoid the possibility of a mistake encounter.
In general, all law enforcement operations such as arrest, raid, searches and seizures, shall be
conducted in the following manner: (1) with a law enforcement motor vehicle; (2) preferably
led by a commissioned officer; and (3) with law enforcement officer in proper uniform. The
exception to this rule is when using a marked law enforcement motor vehicle will jeopardize
the safety and security of the raiding team and will greatly affect the success of the raid
operations.

The team leader of the raiding party must ensure that no innocent bystanders are caught in the
crossfire. Moreover, the team leader of the raiding party shall observe the following: (1) secure
the place of engagement; (2) check whether the situation still poses imminent danger (3)
evacuate the wounded to the nearest hospital; (4) account for the killed, wounded, and arrested
persons for proper disposition and jurisdictional investigation. In addition, the local law
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the area of the place of engagement, together with
the SOCO team, if any, shall immediately undertake the necessary investigation and processing
of the place of engagement.

Finally, the following are the don'ts in raid operations; (1) do not lake unnecessary chances; (2)
do not underestimate the ability or courage of the subjects; (3) do not raid when not properly
prepared, (4) do not endanger the lives of bystanders; (5) do not employ law enforcement
officer who are not well-acquainted with each other, (6) do not forget gas masks when
employing teargas; (7) do not be unnecessarily rough to the subjects; (8) do not shoot unless
very imperative; and (9) do not touch the evidence unless seen by witnesses, or by the owner or
occupant of the place, area, or premises.

Phases of Raid Operations

Here are the phases of raid operations:

1. Collection of Intelligence. The first phase is the collection of intelligence related to the
illegal activities occurring within the target area, place, or premises of raid operations. As
much as possible the target of raid operations must be subjected to a thorough casing and
reconnaissance, for the availability of photographs and floor plans. This also includes
collection of information on the numbers and armaments of the criminals or lawless elements,
and contrabands or evidences to be confiscated during the search and seizure.

2. Briefing of the Raiding Party. After confirmation of the objective based on essential
elements of information collected, briefing of the members of the raiding party is in order. This
shall provide information of the danger areas, including numbers and expected opposition to be
made by the suspects, procedures in making entry, the designation of the members of the
raiding party, the contrabands and evidences to be searched and seized, and avoidance of panic
firing to avoid overkill tendencies in case of a shoot-out.

3. Movement of Raiding Party. During the movement of the raiding party, only the lights of the
lead motor vehicle shall be on high-beam, while other lights of motor vehicles shall be on low-
beam. Each of the motor vehicle must be equipped with mobile radio for ease of
communication. The members of the raiding party shall board on the motor vehicles on tactical
position. These motor vehicles must be parked several meters away from the target of raid
operations, with law enforcement officer designated to secure its safety and protection.

4. Actual Raid Operations. During the actual raid operations, and in approaching the target
area, place, or premises, the team leader of the raiding party shall see to it that the assaulting
team shall use one entry point and in single line formation, and the blocking team is pre
positioned to prevent escape of suspects. As much as possible an "L Type Formation" must be
employed by the raiding party to preclude a mistake-encounter, and preferably with cover and
concealment for expected shoot-outs. This must also ensure freedom from cross-fires from
among the people nearby.

5. Arrests, Search, and Seizure. Upon containment of the place, area, or premises that are the
target of raid operations, immediate arrest of the suspects must be made. The search and
seizure do not only include the premises under control of the suspects but also this involves a
thorough search of their bodies for concealed weapons, contrabands, and evidences. Arrested
suspects must be handcuffed at the back, especially in transporting them, and articles and
materials confiscated from them must be properly collected and preserved.

6. Post-Raid Operations. After the conduct of the raid operations, accounting of the members
of the raiding party is a must. The team leader must also ensure that all the suspects are
accounted for, and contrabands and evidences are all inventoried and recorded. During
movement of the raiding party in going back to the law enforcement office, all the members of
the party, must be alert for possible rescue of arrested suspects, and shall again board on the
motor vehicles on tactical position, and must be on guard for any unexpected situation.

Designs of Raid Operations

Raid operations designs must be understood by all. The team leader of the raiding party must
articulate the specific objective and end purpose be achieved. Raid operations have
recognizable characteristics whether conducted as separate operations or as part of a larger law
enforcement operations. The raiding party must depend on surprise. detailed intelligence,
timeliness of mission, execution, and legality of action to ensure success. All the members of
the raiding party regardless of assigned mission have to perform a secondary function of
collecting and reporting information or intelligence.

Discreet movement to the objective area must be conducted to avoid enemy detection and
response. Stealth, speed, and use of deception and disguise in movement contribute to the
raiding party's protection and surprise. During longer transits, frequent inspections, drills, and
rehearsals are conducted to prevent deterioration of perishable skills. Intelligence updates, final
briefing, and double checking the preparations that are to be performed by the team leader
before actual raid operations on the target place, area, or premises.

In instances of compromise on the part of the law enforcement agency, equipment losses, and
unforeseen occurrences that may create a situation that prevents the accomplishment of
objective. The team leader of the raiding party may abort the criteria that are established during
planning and preparations to address the situation, and other potential problems. Movement to
the objective is planned to ensure that the raiding party reaches the objective in the manner that
is best, and supporting action in the target place, area, or premises.

Synchronization of the activities with precision of the execution may require a specific
timetable in the conduct of raid operations on a target place, area, or premises. The attack on
the objective is characterized by speed and legality of the action. When supporting arms are
employed, the raiding party normally commence the assault of the objective and continue
through the conclusion of the raid operations. Actions at the target place , area or premises are
well planned in detail as intelligence and time constraints permit dry runs.

Success of Raid Operations

Successful raid operations are ensured by conducting it at an unexpected time or place of the
criminals and lawless elements and by taking advantage of darkness and other periods of
limited visibility, and moving over the place, area, or premises that the criminals and lawless
elements may consider impossible to penetrate. It is also important to avoid detection through
proper movement techniques and camouflage, cover, and concealment; and the use of
sophisticated law enforcement equipment, weapons, firearms, and armaments.

Moreover, proper timing in the conduct of raid operations must be considered as much as
possible, and employing all available support, both organic and non-organic law enforcement
officer, to include the possibility of the use of special weapons such as flash bangs or tear gas.
The members of the raiding party also have to perform quick, lawful, precise, and audacious
actions that focus on full concentration of the raid operations at the decisive time, place, and
areas, or premises subject of raid operations.

Four functions are normally performed by the members of the raiding party when conducting
raid operations. Depending upon the specific objective and the nature of the target area of
operations, these four functions are as follows: (1) the command group controls the movement
of the raiding party; (2) the security requirements which is determined by the objectives; (3)
the support of other law enforcement agencies, or police units necessary to accomplish the
objective; and (4) the search and seizure and neutralization or arrest of suspects, including the
control of the target area, place, or premises.

The composition of the raiding party is always tailored to the objectives. Each target area,
place, or premises must be examined carefully. The raiding party's primary objective is to
overcome resistance and to arrest the suspect, and confiscate contrabands or evidences. Other
specialized teams may also be needed, such as the search and seizure team, SOCO, emergency
medical service team or EMST, evidence custodian team, custodial officers of arrested
suspects, and availability of cover and observation team, as needed.

Concluding the Raid Operations

At the conclusion of the raid operations, after unavoidable shoot-outs occurred between the
raiding party and criminals or lawless elements, the team leader of the raiding party must check
whether there are casualties from his or her members. If there are casualties, proper first aid by
the EMS team must be extended. The wounded must be immediately brought to the nearest
hospital for appropriate medical attention and treatment. The team leader of the raiding party
shall ensure that proper assistance has been extended to the wounded member or members of
the raiding team.

Moreover, immediate removal of casualties from among the criminals and lawless elements
shall be made possible after the necessary note-taking, sketching, and picture taking are
accomplished. After a shoot-out, the members of the raiding party should check if the suspect
still poses danger, is still alive, or has been neutralized. In case the suspect is wounded and
disabled, he or she shall be brought to the nearest hospital for treatment, with adequate
security. The use of force shall be given highest consideration to the safety of participants in
raid operations and preventing collateral damages to properties.

In case there are neutralized criminals and lawless elements, the place of engagement must be
submitted to the Inquest Prosecutor for on scene preliminary investigation, and prior to its
release. The arrested suspects, after having been accorded with their rights, must be placed
under the custody of law enforcement officer designated as custodial officer, who in turn shall
properly turn over the suspects to the law enforcement custodial center for arrest and booking
report, which includes the taking of mug shots for rogue's gallery, and fingerprinting.

A thorough search and seizure of the place, area, or premises subjected to raid operations must
be conducted. All the contrabands and evidences found shall be properly collected, identified,
preserved, and transmitted to the law enforcement agency's office for proper custody or
evidence disposition. All SOPs of the crime scene investigation shall be strictly followed, and
human rights shall be strictly observed and respected at all times. Debriefing and constructive
critiquing must be also made to the members of the raiding party.
