Résumé

"Each chapter of this report presents a perspective on ambush attacks through a research lens, using original and existing data on the topic. The mix of methods used includes surveys, focus groups, and quantitative analyses, each of which is described within the chapters to follow. Chapter 1 provides a literature review drawing largely from the research on assaults against officers, felonious deaths, and officer-involved shootings. Chapter 2 presents the perspectives of police leaders, who discussed the topic with the researchers in a series of focus groups at the IACP Convention and Expo in October 2013. Chapter 3 presents a police agency-level analysis examining the correlates of organizational and community characteristics on the prevalence of ambushes. More than 800 police agencies and five years’ worth of data are used to examine this issue. Chapter 4 presents an incident-level analysis examining officer and suspect characteris-tics, incident dynamics, and their influence on the survivability of an ambush assault. Chapter 5 presents the results of a survey of police agencies that encountered ambush incidents between 2004 and 2011 and the organizational learning practices that were used in the wake of the at-tacks. The final chapter concludes this report and provides a series of findings and recommen-dations for the consideration of police executives, trainers, supervisors, and policymakers." -- Page 5.
